At our March 19 meeting Brent Whitaker of Business on Purpose guided us to understanding how to liberate ourselves from chaos. Our focus always must be on making sure what we want, that we are going in the right direction and that I am the person I desire to be. "The clearer the vision, the fewer the options, the easier the decisions."
At the Special Olympics/SOAR event on Thursday the 20th, over 20 Rotarians along with family and friends joined over 375 Special Olympians who participated. Our group ran the softball toss event, which appeared to attract the largest number of athletes. Many special thanks to Jim Evans for planning and coordinating the event for our club.
Regardless of issue, please let us know if something is going on to prevent you from attending our meetings. We have many members who can help, pray, or just call to lift your spirits.

Do you worry about Alzheimer’s? We do not have a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but we must find one. Finding a cure starts with you. Every year the CART (Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust) Fund gives research grants focused on finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
Have you given to the CART Fund this year? The CART Fund is dedicated to raising funds to provide “seed” money for cutting edge, high impact research in hopes of finding a cure/prevention for Alzheimer’s disease. The goal of the CART Fund is to encourage exploratory and developmental Alzheimer’s disease research projects within the United States. This is accomplished by providing financial support for the early and conceptual plans of those projects that may not yet be supported by extensive preliminary data but have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research. These projects should be distinct from those designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area unless they intend to extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications.
