| Joachim Klima, Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar from Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, gave us an interesting presentation of his state in Germany. Among the things that Joachim mentioned was how all German men of age 19/20 must perform one year of military or civilian service. He also discussed how their education system determines from the age of primary school which career/educational path a child will pursue. He discussed the advantages of the German health care system, which provides health care to everyone, allthough their tax rate is much higher. Klima discussed the famous scholars like Einstein, and company's like Daimler and Bosch that are from the Baden-Wurttemberg state. His presentation included many beautiful pictures- it looks like a wonderful place to visit! |

| Storytelling isn't just for kids! Ivory D. Williams-Storyteller/Speaker captivated our meeting with his presentation on the importance of listening. He advised us to take two seconds to listen, so that we can give better answers. His wonderful presentation interweaved stories with wit, humor and fun that engaged us. Williams works with youth groups to motivate them to be successful. Contact him at effy1@aol.com 248-543-0896. |
 Safety
Services Area Administrator Police Chief Barnett Jones delivered
a compelling presentation of the need for police protection in our city
during these troubling economic times. Our community is facing layoffs
of the police staff that focuses on interfacing with the community. The
police department is on the front line, and must be prepared to help us
in case of a possible terrorist attack, as well as dealing with criminals
in the community. He mentioned that the number one crime is burglary,
and with the early release of prisoners, that is a potential problem for
our area if prisoners do not find jobs in the community. |
