Last week our speaker was FCRC member, David Ames, who delivered an informal and entertaining presentation entitled “A View from the Booth”. Professor Ames has been involved in Division 1 NCAA football for over 30 years; first as an on-field official and later (and currently) in the Instant Replay Booth. When instant replay was added to the college game in 2006, Dave was able to extend his career with a game he loves. Perhaps thinking out loud, he shared his thoughts - why he continues to love his “work”-access, levity (escape), ego, teamwork with his crew, and, of course, his love of sports. I think the audience understood when he repeated “it’s just a game” but, nonetheless, of great value to participants and fans. . |
On September 4th, there will be no noon meeting. Instead, RCFC will convene at THE FARM, at Lee Martinez Park, 600 N. Sherwood. When the old Waverly School bell rings, the feed is on! Dress will be casual, western if you like.
John Trone was recognized for his support of the Rotary International Foundation in a presentation by Melanie Chamberlain last Wednesday. John has recently added three Paul Harris Fellowship awards to his total. The Club salutes John for his financial support as well as his time, effort and vision in furthering the global outreach of RCFC.
