Women Of The Rotary


Fifteen members of Women of the Rotary met for our October meeting at the home of President Fred Okrent.  After a short business meeting, Program Chairperson, Elsie Morse, introduced Maureen Van Horn, who presented a most interesting program.


Her brother, a Britisher living in England, was called to Buckingham Palace to receive a special award and medal.  He was one of 25 to receive this award, however, there was a second group for a different award, making a total of 95 people for the investiture ceremony.  The pomp and circumstance and presentations by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, and bits of history were captured on a video by a professional photographer; a copy of which was sent to Maureen by her brother.


Thank you Maureen for sharing this special video.  We hated to see it end.

Letter


I was saddened to learn that the Music, Arts, Home Economics, and Technology Education Courses were cut by half for this school year at PMHS, and in surrounding communities.


These youth will eventually become adult members of the community.  No access to the arts as youth, means no appreciation as adults. Creativity needs to be practiced, just like soccer, to be good at it.  If youth are never given the opportunity to express themselves, and make creative decisions, then they will have trouble later in life in problem solving situations.


The Arts allow for direct expression of each individual, and not just plugging in different variables into a formula.  Each youth needs to solve problems of what and how to create using available resources.  Participating in the arts also allows for youth to develop a sense of many amazing things they are capable of.


What happens when there is no right answer; when there is no grade on the test?  There often is no “right answer” so each individual learns to create to their best possible abilities, and only they will know if they have worked their hardest.


With no creative opportunities we will not be as self reliant, because we will not know how to behave in situations where no course is written out for us.  If youth do not learn to appreciate these cultural opportunities, then what will they have as hobbies?


How many times do we see youth and adults bored with nothing else to do, but to play video games and watch movies?  The arts can be a meaningful hobby that can enhance quality of life, by appreciating a play, an art exhibit, or a community concert.  Let your School Board know that having a strong arts curriculum is important to developing well-rounded citizen.
