Phyllis Sharp mentioned that Jessie Santos had passed. A long time worker for the Senate was truly a giving and kind man.

Ben Ford said that Phyllis Sharp had the updated rosters and to please let him know of any changes. Suzann Madeley is retiring from the Supreme Court after 26 years of service. Bill Bedner gave in support of general principles.
Speaker:
Vannessa from the Foundation for Devine Consciousness spoke to us. Their mission is to spread peace and unity to individuals though out the world. First each of us must look deep inside ourselves and assess who we are and what we have to give. Then to give selflessly without agenda will give us peace and unity within our selves. Once we discover our inner self than we can spread unity and peace. She said Rotary is much like the Foundation in that we serve others first. Opportunity is not at the door, but literally at our feet. The need for unity and peace is innate. No matter who we are connected to as a spiritual head, she wants us all to come together from that spot. She went to Nigeria and meet with top government officials. After the "grand tour" she asked to go out into the villages. In the village of Keyla she found very poor people who had the spirit of community. This has become their project. First they put in two water wells to stop all the diseases that are spread by dirty water. Next they started free schools. At their Austin summer camp, six children from Nigeria came. She invited us to step out of our comfort zone and help out at the camp. The foundation has started camps in Hawaii. Next year she is planning on a world conference of children. She believes that the children are our future leaders. For more information www.divineconsciousness.org or 800-476-1148.
