SUMMARY:Four-Way test Speech Contest
DESCRIPTION:Jen Wabnitz and the Club Service Committee have been working hard for our club to host a Four Way Test Speech Contest.  What is a Four Way Test Speech Contest?  It engages local school students in embracing the high ethical standards our Four Way Test embodies by applying its principles to a current ethical issue. Students are challenged to identify a topic they feel passionate about and to adopt a point of view from which they will seek to persuade others. It should be something from the student’s personal experience or general knowledge. There are no restrictions regarding the choice of topic as long as it is not blatantly offensive. \nEach part of the Four Way Test should be addressed during the speech. They should be specifically stated\, as the intent of the speech is to use the Four Way Test to resolve an issue. Each part could be used to prove either a positive or negative point.  We will have five club members serving as judges.  Two winners will be announced tomorrow morning at the conclusion of the contest\, and they will have the opportunity to advance to a district-level contest. \nThe good news – we have 11 students from Jefferson High School as participants!  We will have a club member time each speech; there is a time limit of 7 minutes or less.  The not quite as good news – we will have to start the contest very soon after 7:30 a.m. and our meeting may not conclude until the 9 a.m. range.  We will move it along as quickly as we can but we also want to be fair to each participant.  If you need to depart the meeting before we are finished\, please try to do so in between participant speeches.  Each student spends much effort preparing and rehearsing their speeches\, so thank you in advance for being patient with the time needed.

SUMMARY:Kakamega\, Kenya & 29:11 with Terry Walker
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn more about 29:11\, Inc. and their mission to help one street-child at a time through their HOPE program.  Terry Walker and Jennifer Satterlee will share their experience from the November 2024 trip to Kakamega\, Kenya and the amazing impact this non-profit organization has on these often forgotten children. \nWe dream of a world where no child has to sleep on the street hungry and alone. A world where no child has to sniff glue to make their hunger pains go away. A world where no child is invisible to their community or separated from their family. \nThe Board of Directors is made up of some of the most passionate people you will ever meet. What started out as one adventure turned into a lifetime of commitment to a bigger calling. “We want to help street-connected children change their story and change it in the way they want to change it. We want to show them the dignity and respect they deserve in controlling their future as human beings.”

SUMMARY:Classification talk with Jamie Miller
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Martinsburg\, my husband and I moved to Shepherdstown in 2017. We fell in love with a piece of property while we were out and about in Shepherdstown and decided this was where we wanted to grow our family. I have worked in recruitment for eight years; first in university admissions recruitment and now for WVU Medicine Human Resources. I recruit for several nursing services departments and other healthcare professional positions at Berkeley and Jefferson Medical Centers. I am a remote employee and love opportunities where I’m able to engage with the community. I was involved in fundraising several years ago and also had the opportunity to partner with Rotary to establish the Blue Ridge CTC Rotaract Club in 2015 when I was a faculty member. I’m grateful for the opportunity to get involved with Shepherdstown Rotary!

SUMMARY:Dabney Chapman: Man\, Myth\, and Dad & Other Civil War Relics
DESCRIPTION:John Chapman\, son of long-time Shepherdstown Rotary member R. Dabney Chapman (1929-2015)\, was born in Garmisch-Partinkirchen\, West Germany\, in 1965\, and grew up a “State Department brat\,” moving from country to country thanks to his father’s career. Migrating to Shepherdstown in 1983 to attend Shepherd College\, he became enamored of the area’s beauty\, history\, and people\, and like so many others has remained in the region ever since\, ultimately convincing his parents to retire here in 1986. \nA longtime teacher of middle school Social Studies\, he inherited his father’s love for history\, particularly as it pertains to the Shenandoah Valley and the Civil War. As a result\, his primary avocation and passion for the last 35 years has been searching the farms and fields of the lower Shenandoah Valley\, particularly around Shepherdstown\, with his shovel and metal detector- occasionally succeeding in discovering and documenting long-forgotten homesites or Civil War camps. Articles and pictures of the results have been published in North South Trader’s Civil War and American Digger magazines. \nJohn and his wife Crystal\, a case manager nurse at Berkeley Medical Center\, reside just outside metropolitan Cherry Run in Morgan County\, along with their dog\, cat\, and three-legged rescue squirrel Miss Twiggy.

SUMMARY:Stuff A Truck
DESCRIPTION:The Community Services Committee of our terrific club has organized a “Stuff A Truck” event on October 26th and 27th to support animal rescue organizations operating in Jefferson and Berkeley Counties. We will be collecting much-needed supplies for these 501c3 groups who protect the voiceless and vulnerable members of our community. \nEach of the rescues in our area has and continues to work through an unprecedented number of animal cruelty and hoarding cases this year. Their needs far outweigh their funding at this point. They are in need of everything they use to properly care for the animals until placement in permanent\, loving homes occurs. In addition to the needs locally\, these groups wish to send a portion of what we collect to our southern communities who have experienced catastrophic destruction due to Hurricane Helene. With another monster of a storm on the way\, Hurricane Milton\, they will need all the assistance they can get for a very long time. We commend our local rescue leaders for wanting to share their donations to support these communities. \nThe event plays out as follows: We park a 26-ft box truck each day at the location listed below. With permission we have obtained from store management\, our volunteers hand out pre-printed “Wish Lists” to shoppers as they enter the stores and we request they support our cause. This is a no-pressure process. We simply hand them the list\, explain our goal\, and request they add an item or more to their purchases to help fill the truck. If they refuse\, we wish them well and move on to the next customer. As shoppers bring their donations out\, volunteers collect and sort them in the truck. On Monday\, October 28th\, volunteers will use their pick-up trucks to disperse the donations to the rescues. These rescues have each provided lists of needed items and have been instructed to have a space ready for the items. As the event title suggests\, the goal is to stuff the truck until we can barely close the doors! \nDates:\nOctober 26th & 27th-Collection hours are 9am-4pm\, both days.\nOctober 28th-Donation delivery to rescues \nLocations:\nOctober 26th at Petco/Weis in Ranson\nOctober 27th at Petsmart in Martinsburg \nTime slots are:\n8:30a-10:30a (includes set up of pop-up tent from 8:30-9)\n10:30a-12:30p\n12:30p-2:30p\n2:30p-4:30p (includes take down of pop-up tent from 4-4:30)\nFeel free to sign up for more than 2 hours! \nThis is the same weekend as Michele and Tom Maiden’s Adopt-A-Road Cleanup! Please consider supporting both causes! There are time slots for both days for the Stuff-A-Truck! Thank you so much for your support and time in advance. We could not do the important work without you and we are grateful to the amazing members of our special Rotary Club. \nPlease use this link to sign up!\nhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BjQHGT2OvuCOj9exrP3Nz6zbLmdTpcYhrrZoNoCJYKA/edit?usp=sharing \nDonate: \nStuff A Truck\n \nD
