President's TimeSince no one was really paying attention today we covered a lot of territory in the land of fruit and nuts. Thornton, Colorado is outlawing spinning barber poles because after 600 years they believe it's too distracting. New York is outlawing wiffle ball and horse shoes because they're "non-passive recreational activities with a significant risk of injury." A Portuguese international fugitive who skipped out on his 2008 prison sentence was caught while driving solo in the carpool lane on the New Jersey Turnpike! The Queensland Billabong Sanctuary has a depressed wombat because while the zoo was closed for repairs he missed the patting, photos, cuddles and posing for the papparazzi. And last but not least, Russian police are searching for a portly hypnotist who hypnotizes elderly women and has them withdraw their cash for him. Yes it's true, the world's gone mad! But there's sanity at Rotary!
COMMUNITY SERVICE UPDATE: School supplies for Copan, Honduras. Bill Quesenberry collected $186 today in lieu of asking people to go shopping. He will probably hit you up again next week.
VA Bingo is scheduled for Saturday, May 14th. Sign up to entertain the Vets for two hours on Saturday. You'll have as much fun as they do.

Today's Program
Daniel Armstrong, PhDHOLTZ CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Professor and Associate Chair
Dept. of Pediatrics, University of Miami
One of the largest children’s hospitals in the southeast United States, Holtz Children’s Hospital is located at the University of Miami / Jackson Memorial Medical Center campus, and is affiliated with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Holtz has more than 110 physicians and specialists, 254 beds, and is among the largest teaching hospitals and research centers in the country. Holtz provides everything from routine medical care to specialized programs including a dialysis center and treatment for HIV, sickle cell, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. A single dose of HIV treatment given to a pregnant mother can reduce the risk of infecting her unborn baby from 32% to 2%. The neonatal intensive care unit has years of success saving the lives of even the tiniest premature babies. Infants as small as three inches have a 20% survival rate. Holtz leads the nation in neonatal and pediatric care.
Holtz attributes its successes to its staff – nurses, specialists, therapists, physicians, administrative, and support. Regardless of a patient’s income or ethnicity, Holtz provides the best pediatric care available. “We are all about the adults these children will become.”
NEXT WEEK'S PROGRAM: Actors' Playhouse with selections from The 39 Steps.
