Monday Meeting Stats— April 7

QC River Bandits Spring Social—May 28

As the 2013-2014 Rotary year begins to come

to an end, let’s celebrate with a night at the

Quad City River Bandits. Rotarians and their

families are invited to a night at the park on

Wednesday, May 28, 2014 as the River Bandits

face off against the Benoit Snappers. Game

starts at 7:00 PM with gates opening at 6:00 PM. The committee has reserved the Sky

Deck for the game. In case you aren’t familiar with the Sky Deck, it is climate

controlled and located on the suite level along the 3rd base line. Rotarians can

purchase tickets for a discounted price of $15 per person and includes game ticket and

ball park menu (hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, baked beans, chips, potato salad, cookie,

ice cream sandwiches, soda, water and lemonade). Children 3 and under are free.

All other children will need to purchase a ticket. RSVP by Monday, May 12 if you plan

to attend. Tickets will be available for pick up at “will call” the night of the game.

Monday, April 14 —Don Wooten

Don Wooten came to the Quad Cities as a

St. Ambrose seminarian in 1946. He remained to

make a career in radio and television, starting in

1949.You may remember him as a weatherman on

channels 4 and 8, or for his public affairs programs,

"Spectrum" and "At Issue." He served eight years

as an Illinois State Senator, before turning

Augustana College's 10-watt student station, WVIK,

into a major NPR affiliate in 1980. In 1986, he

began a Sunday newspaper column for the Argus & Dispatch. Along the way, he took

up some part-time duties, teaching at Alleman, writing music reviews, and, in 1956,

founding the Genesius Guild, the subject for the Monday, April 14th meeting.
