Wine Tasting has "Grape"
Expectations
(Posted: 10.30.07)
By Nancy Young, Club International
Service Director!
George Washington may have slept at Slade's
Inn, but it is doubtful that he had as much fun
as the Hunt Valley Rotarians and their guests did
on October 27. Stuart and Allison Doriss,
proprietors of Four Corners Wine and Spirits, and
their knowledgeable staff delighted the palates
of wine enthusiasts with a broad array of "cabs"
from California, France, Australia and Chile.
Everything
came together for a fantastic evening; the weather
cleared, the sun came out and the people came.
They munched on great food, they sampled really
fine wines, they talked, they networked, they ordered
wine, and everyone left with a smile on their face.
The event would not have been as successful as it
was without many hours of behind-the-scenes work.
Thanks to Bonnie McPhail for graphics, Jeanne Brandenburg
for crafting the wooden cabs, Suzanne Amos for timely
suggestions and ideas, Maria Santana and Karen Rucker
for support, food ideas and catering service, the
beautiful venue, Slade's Inn, and finally, the warm
greeting of all the guests by the incomparable Irving
and his beautiful wife Virginia.
Seventy-five
people attended and over $3,500 was raised. A portion
of the proceeds will be contributed to the Malawi
Water Project. A perfect evening for the very first
Hunt Valley Wine Tasting fun, fund-raising event!

Stephen's Chariot: Next Stop,
"The Big Apple"
(Posted: 10.30.07)
“The Hunt Valley Rotary hereby proclaims
its respect and affection for Stephen Mathai, and
its recognition of his many accomplishments as a
corporate executive, world church leader, poet,
public servant, distinguished Rotarian, and tenor,
baritone and bass. Since we have enjoyed his songs,
his heart, and his eloquence for many years, we
are now ready to share him with the rest of the
world. But in doing so we advise the world as follows:
provide Stephen with a ride, and he will keep you
entertained and enlightened. But be sure to have
timer with a stop watch at hand prepared to make
sure he sits down.”
Good luck on your move to New York, Stephen.
We will miss you!

HV Rotary supports Baltimore's
Play It Smart Program
(Archive)
This year's Golf Tournament will provide
funding for HV Rotary's newest charity partner,
the Play It Smart Program of the National Football
Foundation.In 2000, Play It Smart was initiated
in Baltimore at Patterson High School. Due to the
tremendous success and impact, Play It Smart expanded
to Forest Park in 2002 and Edmondon was added in
2004. Prior to Play It Smart, less than 25% of football
players took the SAT. Since its inception
at Patterson, 79 seniors have participated
in the Play It Smart program and 100% graduated
on time. In addition, 87% have been accepted
in an institution of higher education.
We are pleased to join the
Jonathan Ogden Foundation in supporting this
worthwhile project here in Baltimore!

Group Study Exchange
(Archive)
A number of Hunt Valley Rotarians and their
families are participating in this year's Group
Stude Exchange (GSE). Nancy Young is serving
on this year's committee, and Eric Miller and Maria
Santana are hosting two of the representatives.
Since its inception in 1065, the GSE program has
provided grants for countless teams of men and women,
in the early stages of their business and professional
careers, to travel abroad and share vocational information
with representatives of their respective professions
in another country. Team members spend four to six
weeks studying the host country's institutions,
economy, and culture, while observing how their
own professions are practiced abroad. More
than 500 exchanges between paired Rotary districts
occur each year, advancing the program's ultimate
goal of promoting international understanding and
goodwill.This year's exchange welcomed six medical
professionals visiting from Rotary District 2220
from Western Russia. The 2007 exchange will
be with District 1600 in the Netherlands.
