This week our speaker is George Wortman. George is a friend who spent most of his career in the pharmaceutical business. He has worked as a practicing pharmacist, researcher, and has introduced several important new medicines to the market. He is one of the most sincere people I know, which qualifies him as a truth-teller. I know you will learn from his discussion of his industry, and you will find his presentation style to be entertaining. Don’t miss this meeting.
 
 
Our friend and fellow Rotarian Gail Sharp ask for our participation in her “soldier bags project” There are 1400 homeless vets in Colorado and 650 are in our metro area. The project needs donations of these items which will be packed in back packs:

Here is how it works.
  1. Take this list to Wal-Mart and buy as generously as you can.
  2. Bring the items to a meeting between now and November 9th.
  3. Write an accompanying note of encouragement thanking the veterans for serving and letting them know you still support them and hope for good things for them
