Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. ~ Sam Keen
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~ John Lubbock
A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. ~ James Dent
Governor's Corner
Fellow Rotarians,
What an honor to serve as your district governor this year. We are off to a great year "building communities and bridging continents"!
By the time you receive this newsletter, Deborah and I will have made official visits to slightly over half of the clubs in District 6780. We are having a great time meeting Rotarians and learning what clubs throughout the district are doing. I am encouraged by your enthusiasm, energy, and creativity as you live out the spirit of Rotary in your clubs and communities! My focus this year is to support you as you become "bigger, better, bolder".
As you plan upcoming events and achieve successes, I encourage you to keep me posted. I'd love to be able to share the good word with other Rotarians through this newsletter. Keep up the good work!
--DG Bobby
Feature Item
Monday night, August 2, Rotarians from all over District 6780 "Packed the Park for Polio" at the Chattanooga Lookouts baseball game. Rotarians sold 1170 tickets to the game and raised about $4800 for Polio Eradication. Despite soaring temperatures many Rotarians attended to watch District Governor Bobby Davis throw out the first pitch and to hear Chattanooga Rotarians Molly Sassy and Robin Derryberry sing the national anthem. Lookouts owner Frank Burke looks forward to repeating this event next year, and perhaps challenging the Knoxville Smokies in a fundraising competition. "The most important thing is that over 25,000 children will receive the polio vaccine as a result of this event" says organizer David Sergeant.

Corporate sponsors of the gala were also treated to a private reception with the famous couple and received an autographed football from Mr. Dooley. Later in the evening, gala goers had the opportunity to participate in a select auction which included several valuable pieces of jewelry, paintings and Southeastern Conference memorabilia. A six-piece jazz ensemble also provided live music for attendees prior to the gala doors opening.
Gala Committee Chairman Jim Davis and his wife, Philomena The fundraiser benefits the local efforts of the American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity and Angel Flight. “We’ve had terrific response from attendees who said they will definitely be back next year,” said Gala Committee Chairman Jim Davis. “I think it’s certain to say we coordinated a very sophisticated event which wowed our audience with two dynamic speakers and an elegant meal for three very worthwhile causes.” District Foundation Chairman and Gala Auctioneer David Carroll and Cheryl Dunson
