President Beth Russell brought the meeting to order in The Missouri Room of the Missouri Athletic Club at 12.00pm. Everyone stood for the Pledge of Allegiance. John Reed delivered the invocation and Beth Russell led the group in singing, “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing.”
Sergeant at Arms, Mike Mosella, introduced guests and visiting Rotarians.
Today’s lunch meeting featured The Young Citizens Award program. Following a session of round table mentoring students were asked for their most important take-aways from the group. Responses included, “The Value of Working,” and “Seeking a Career for Passion Rather Than Money.”
John Reed introduced Dr. Kelvin Adams, Superintendent of St. Louis Schools District, a body of 24,000 students.
Dr. Adams discussed improving graduation rates, improving attendance, and congratulated the students representing their schools and districts.
Opportunities for college were noted, especially in regard to the opportunities at Webster University, a strong supporter of the program.
Dr. Adams acknowledged current difficulties but spoke eloquently about working together to ensure that America remains a great country. He reiterated that the democratic process is not always neat and polite but that it does give everyone the opportunity to contribute and participate. Participation is strongly encouraged.
Beth Russell returned to the podium to introduce Webster University principals, President Dr. Beth Stroble and Provost Dr. Julian Schuster.
Noting that St. Louis Rotary has a 100 year history and that Webster University enjoys similar longevity, Webster U. and Rotary have been partners for over 40 years.
A short film was shown, “We Are All Webster”.
Dr. Stroble spoke of Webster’s global reach. A new campus has been recently installed in Ghana. She saluted the accomplishments of the Young Citizens Awardees. Dr. Schuster invited all to apply to Webster University and described the $5,000 annual scholarship that was available to successful candidates.
The Young Citizens Awards presentation then took place.
In conclusion Beth Russell acknowledged today’s mentors, and the New Generation Committee members were recognized.
The meeting was adjourned at 1.00pm.

Ray has a long association with Rotary in Missouri and St. Louis. When he served as Governor, Kirksville was part of our District, so he made frequent trips to St. Louis visiting clubs in the area. St. Louis was alway a favorite stop.
Ray will give us an update on the Foundation and the End Polio Now effort.
This would also be a great meeting to bring prospective members to get a better idea of Rotary’s work around the world. Aside from Polio eradication, there are a number of exciting projects in Health, Hunger and Disease Prevention that I am sure Ray will touch on.
