On October 16, 1923,
the Walt Disney Company
was founded by brothers
Walt and Roy and is now
one of the largest media
companies in the world. As
a tribute to the company,
this week, Christine Cope
treated us to some of her
favorite Disney movie
quotes:
1. “If you can’t say
something nice, don’t
say nothin’ at all.”
Thumper in Bambi -
The animation from
this movie has been
used more often than
animation from any other Disney film. Usually, the animation is of
birds and nature, and the main characters are very rarely re-used.
However, Bambi’s mother appears in the very first shot of Beauty
and the Beast. She is also featured in The Sword in the Stone,
The Rescuers, and The Jungle Book.
2.”Always let your conscience be your guide.” Jiminy Cricket in
Pinocchio – The iconic song, “When You Wish Upon a Star” from the
1940 film won an Oscar for Best Original Song. The film marked the
first time that famous voices were used for character voices. Jiminy
Cricket was voiced by Clifton Edwards, who was a popular singer and
actor in the 1920’s and 1930’s. He is most remembered for his
number one hit song, “Singin’ in the Rain”, from 1929.
3.”Sometimes we only see how people are different from us. But if
you look hard enough, you can see how much we’re all alike.” Jasmine
Rotary

Of the things we think, say
or do:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and

Will it be

FELLOWSHIP
in Aladdin – This 1992 film starring the legendary Robin Williams as the
Genie was the first animated film to gross more than 200 million dollars.
Because Robin Williams adlibbed so many of his lines, the script was
turned down for an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted
Screenplay.
the ce 3.”It’s up to you how far you’ll go. If you don’t try, you’ll never know.”
Merlin in the Sword in the Stone – The 1963 film was the last film that
Walt Disney produced, since he died during the production of The Jungle
Book. Character designer Bill Peet used Walt Disney as the model for
Merlin. Peet thought that they had similar personality traits and gave
Merlin Walt’s nose.
4.”Venture outside your comfort zone. The rewards are worth it.”
Rapunzel in Tangled – This is Disney’s 50th animated film. It is also
the most expensive Disney film to date. It was in production for six
years and cost an estimated $260 million dollars. Rapunzel is the only
Disney princess with green eyes.
There is nothing quite as inspiring and magical as a Disney quote!

ROTARY CONNECTS THE WORLD For the past few weeks, President Teri Surin has talked about our fellow Rotarians from Guatemala who bid on a fire engine that the Warren
Township Fire Department was auctioning off. They raised $18,000 over
the past two years to purchase the fire engine by holding and participating
in a 5k and 10k event which was attended by 1,000 individuals last year
alone. They won that bid, and we were honored to have them join us for
our most recent meeting.
Marco Herrera, two other Rotarians (Carlos and Labrenti), and Fire
Chief Jose all traveled from Guatemala to Warren, Ohio to take possession
of the fire engine and sample some local culture while here. They were
slated to attend a Deep Purple concert in Cleveland at the Northfield Race
Track on Wednesday night! Teri Surin and Tony Iannucci were instrumental
in helping to coordinate their contact with the Fire Department and
accommodations here in the City of Warren. The gentlemen found our Club
on the Rotary Locator app.
Marco indicated that they were nervous about this whole venture, but
he thanked Teri and Tony for giving him the confidence to reach out to the
necessary people. He had a very warm welcome from Fire Chief Daniels,
who who has offered training on use of the engine and possibly additional equipment for the volunteer fire department in Quetzaltenango.
As a gesture of appreciation for our help and hospitality, the members
of Club Rotario Quetzaltenango exchanged Club banners with us and also
presented our Club with a pin, which was designed in their city and depicts
the area’s mountain peaks and five moons representing five soccer
championships.

We were given an additional gift -
a beautiful, hand-painted doll
wearing the traditional garb of the
women in their city.
Finally, Fire Chief Jose offered
patches displaying the emblem of
the Fireman Corps, the flag of
Guatemala, and their own fire
company’s badge.
It was wonderful to join in
fellowship with Rotarians from
across the globe and to learn
about their culture. We wish
them safe travels as they return
to Guatemala this weekend and
hope to visit with them again.

A VISIT WITH DISTRICT GOVERNOR DAN MORGAN
Dan Morgan has served as a State Farm Agent in Canton for 33
years. In October of 1986, Dan opened his agency with no clients.
That agency has grown to be a large multi-line agency offering over
120 products. His mission, from the beginning, has been to help
people manage risk, achieve their dreams and plan for their future.
Dan’s wife, Vicky, joined the agency in January of 1990. Together,
they have focused on serving the needs of their family, team, friends
and clients.
In January of 1990, Dan joined the Rotary Club of Jackson
Township. He was delighted to learn how closely aligned the core values
of his professional career with State Farm Insurance were to the core
values of Rotary International. He immediately implemented Rotary’s 4-
Way Test and Code of Ethics in his business.
Dan has served his Club as Vice-President, President-Elect, and
President from 1994 to 1995. He served as Chairman of the Board,
Treasurer, Director of Club Service, Foundation Chair, and on numerous
other committees. Dan served the District for six years as Assistant
District Governor. He has served on, chaired or co-chaired many
different District committees in the past three years. So far, his
favorite Rotary theme has been “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity”.
Dan was born in Canton, Ohio and attended Perry High School. He
W

is a graduate of Muskingum College, majoring in Business, Economics and
Psychology. Dan then served the Timkin Company for almost 10 years as
an Industrial Engineer and also in Management. Dan is a member of the
Canton Chamber of Commerce, Jackson Friends Church, and a Masonic
Organization, Clinton Lodge #47 in Massillon.
Dan and his wife, Vicky, have been married since July 31, 1976.
They have one daughter, Dr. Stephanie Morgan Harding, who is an
Orthodontist in North Canton, Ohio. She is married to Aaron Harding.
Dan is passionate about our membership and Rotary Foundation. He
is looking forward to serving the members of Rotary for many more
years.
DG Dan spoke with us about many issues, including the success of the
Foundation, Rotary’s initiative to eradicate Polio, and Rotary’s areas of
focus. However, he stated that one of Rotary’s main areas of concern,
especially especially in District 6650, is Membership. Currently, 31% of Rotary’s
members reside in Asia; 29% live in the United States. In England, the
average age of Rotarians is 74 years. Projections point to a 10 – 15%
reduction in membership over the next 10 years. To combat this decline,
the District is looking at every aspect of Rotary and asking, “Are we
willing to change?” Since time and money seem to be the two biggest
factors affecting membership, many Clubs are easing up on attendance at
formal meetings and adding in service projects. He advises Clubs to cut
expenses and focus on the needs of individuals and networking. He
stated that when Rotary decreased the emphasis on networking, it
became stagnant.
Dan also stated that branding, or our ability and willingness to tell
others what Rotary is all about, is very important. We need to be able
to share Rotary’s vision statement: Together, we see a world where
people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe,
in our communities, and in ourselves. Dan indicated that he has
reflected on his life over the past few years and come to the conclusion
that what you give away – time, talents, and treasures – is what’s
important. He said, “Sometimes the greatest and most beautiful things
in the world can’t be seen or touched; they’re only felt by the heart.”
That message seems to lead back to his favorite theme: Reach Within
to Embrace Humanity – a message we all need to hear and aspire to.
Many thanks to DG Dan for spending time with us and for his
committment to Rotary.
