Paddy came into the local pub and ordered 7 tequilas and a Guinness. Sammy at the bar commented on the number of drinks. First Sammy put the 7 tequilas on the bar and turned around to get the Guinness. When he came back with the Guinness, Paddy had drank the 7 shots of tequila already. Sammy commented that Paddy must be in a hurry, Paddy said he would be in a hurry too if he only had 50cents.

Rotary Minute:

R Clay shared information about Rotary Scholarships:

Of the 1,300 or so Rotary Foundation global grants approved each year, about 200 are for scholarships. Global grant scholarships fund graduate-level studies in one of Rotary’s areas of focus. Rotary districts can also provide scholarships through district grants.

Types of Rotary Scholarships

Rotary Peace Fellowships are offered by The Rotary Foundation for college graduates and professionals to study peace and conflict resolution.

Global grant scholarships are for graduate students studying abroad in one of Rotary’s seven areas of focus.

District grant scholarships can be used to sponsor secondary school, undergraduate, or graduate students studying any subject, either in the scholar’s home country or abroad.
