Schultz Philosophy
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e- mail straight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners . Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with .
Easier?
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care .
Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia '(Charles Schultz)

Rotarian of the Day: Brenda Robison
Brenda graduated from Vinita High School and attended NEO A&M in Miami, and Rogers State University in Claremore. She is the Vinita Branch Manager for Wilcox, Jones & McGrath, Inc. and is a Vice President in the Corporation selling property, casualty, life and health insurance as a licensed agent in Oklahoma. She is a former member of the Craig General Hospital Board and is getting ready to serve her fourth term on the Chamber Board. Brenda has been the Vinita Community Red Cross Bloodmobile coordinator for over 18 years. She has served the Vinita Rotary Club as secretary and President in the past, and is going to serve as the President Elect for the coming year. Married to that great guy, Handsome Dee Robison, Brenda teaches Sunday School at the First Baptist Church, sings in the choir, and is a featured soloist for the Singing Church Women of Oklahoma. Besides singing, her hobbies are attending her children's activities: Bailey, a senior at VHS and Brandon, a junior at OSU. Daughter Denielle Robison lives in Nashville and son Dustin Robison and his wife Miranda live in Vinita and are raising the adorable Caden Glen Robison who is 6 months old.
Today's Program
Today's speaker will be Larry Pierce of KITO fame. He will talk to us about the radio station's plan for involvement in the community. This should be interesting in advance of Rotary Radio Night.
