I slept in this morning

Couldn't get out of bed today for a 7am meeting, so I slept in. I doubt anyone missed me, though the hat was probably missed. Ah well - there's goes my perfect attendance record.

Meanwhile, I got out this press release instead. There's my contribution to Rotary for the week:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Greg Christensen Wins RB Sunrise Rotary Speech Contest

As part of an ongoing partnership with Abraxas High School, the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary recently held their annual 4-way speech contest.

Participants in the program each make a 5-7 minute presentation in front of an audience and team of judges. While the choice of subject is left to the individual speaker, the rules mandate their wrapping their subject matter around the 4-way test of conduct for each Rotarian. The four-way test asks of the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"

Topics presented to RB Sunrise Rotary this year were:

“Using the 14th amendment to benefit illegal immigration” (Greg Christensen)
“Teenagers replacing personal relationships with technology (Jennifer Rodriguez)
“High school dropouts drain the economy” (Zachary Seibel)
“The toll taken by Anorexia and Bulimia” (Amanda Covington)

Both Mr. Christensen and Ms. Covington, who finished in first and second-place, respectively, will be representing their school at Rotary district-wide speech contests later this spring. Mr. Christensen will compete at the RB Noon club and Ms. Covington at the Chula Vista club at dates still to be scheduled. Rotary district 5340 has 61 member clubs.
