The December Rotary Theme 
 is Disease Prevention & Treatment month.
Good health care should be everyone’s right, yet some 400 million people in the world cannot afford or don’t have access to basic health care.  Disease results in misery, pain and poverty for millions of people worldwide.  That’s why treating and preventing disease is so important.
 
Rotary's top priority in fighting disease is the eradication of polio, but Rotary also supports many activities that reduce the causes and effects of other diseases through education and equipping communities to help stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria, strengthening health care systems, expanding medical services, provision of medical equipment, and improving access to health services.

Cowboy Hats
by 
Jeff Ceserotti
Old Member
Texas became the first state to adopt an official state hat, and naturally, it was the cowboy hat. Worn by presidents, lesser politicians, Texas state highway troopers, country and rock stars, barrel-racing cowgirls, villain J.R. Ewing of the television show Dallas, and even real-life ranching icons, like Big Bend’s Hallie Stillwell and Albany’s Watt Matthews.
The son of a New Jersey hatmaker, John B. Stetson was inspired during an 1860s trip to Colorado’s Pikes Peak to design a hat to protect him from the weather, which he began to manufacture in his Philadelphia headquarters. Production moved to Missouri and finally to Texas, where Stetsons are fabricated at Hatco Inc. in Garland. Hatco also mass-produces another huge U.S. brand of cowboy hats, Resistol, worn by Texas Highway Patrol officers. Resistol moved from Dallas to Garland in 1938.
Don't forget to hear your cowboy hat to our club meeting Wednesday
Our Club Assembly will feature a presentation by Director of Club Service, Larry Offerdahl on a Review of the Club's Five Year Strategic Plan. 
Happy New Year may you be blessed with good health, prosperity, and happiness in the coming year.
