Faith Williams and the Speaker's Committee continue to bring informative speakers each week.  Dublin A.M. Rotary has moved to a touch points attendance system, but, between good fellowship and enjoyable presentations, we still have great reasons to come to every Friday meeting.

ImageKristin Yorko, an engineer from the City of Dublin, discussed storm water management. Kristin proved that proper water management is not only essential for preventing floods and harmful pollutant run-off, but is also an interesting topic. Her department's efforts have helped to cleanup the Scioto and in its many tributaries in Dublin despite Dublin 's explosive growth in the past 30 years. The are an essential part of planning in all development. In this video clip, Kristin discusses outreach efforts to create awareness about Dublin's water barrel program and algae prevention efforts.



ImageElizabeth Harsh of the Ohio Beef Council and Ohio Cattleman's Association also visited to talk about the activities of her two organizations and to give us some interesting news about the nutritional value of beef. Her pesentation was a useful bookend to a talk we heard last year on the benefits of a vegetarian diet that encouraged us to "eat nothing coming from anything that has a face." It would seem that, whatever ethical advantages a vegetarian diet may have, noted author Michal Pollan's advice to "eat real food, not too much, and mostly vegetables" may be the best diet for most people. In this video, Elizabeth discusses beef's nutritional properties.
