Wooldridge's Words
 
Music was in the air during Wednesday’s Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary meeting and if you missed us, we missed you too. Thrills abound as we welcomed special guests from the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. Pat Thompson got things off with our Invocation expressing words of Peace, Hope and Forgiveness for our Nation. Expressing Love through Giving was Pat’s emphasis in his message therein lays our opportunity to perform daily as Rotarians.
 
Gentleman Bill Black created the perfect mood in leading us in our Pledge of Allegiance as darling Past President Denise Haynes gleefully inspired by having us join in singing My County Tis’ of Thee. President David Spalinger is certainly a trained observer if I might say. He spotted our Mindy Wilmot on ZOOM with an eye-catching backdrop scene. The Prez wanted to know the significance. With an ear-to-ear smile, Mindy told us the backdrop mural reflects the United States Supreme Court’s decision May 4th 1987 that the court mandated women be accepted as active members in Rotary. Thank You Mindy for reminding us of this special day in our Rotary history. We are all better for the court’s decision!

One of the most powerful visions I have experienced was the first photograph of the earth from outer space. The image of a blue planet floating in deep space, glowing like the full moon on a clear night, brought home powerfully to me the recognition that we are indeed all members of a single family sharing one little house. - Dalai Lama
