Brooke Slanina the Arts Innovator for The Oakland Center for the Arts visited Austintown Rotary. The Oakland Center is located at 220 W. Boardman Street. Brooke said that the Oakland Center was started in 1986 and is 22 years old this year. This is a nonprofit community theater and is presently not funded. They have a children's touring group called Magic Carpet Theater that performs in Ohio, Pennsylvania and even Michigan. Brooke reminded us that it costs thousands of dollars to produce a play with royalties, electric, PR, etc., and can run as high as $3,000 to underwrite. She encouraged all of us to frequent the Center for a very enjoyable experience. Thanks Brooke and Brian for a great presentation.
President Karl opened today's meeting and called on Gary Reel to give the Invocation, Pledge and he also led us in singing, "God Bless America".
Guests were: Bill Henricks, Brianna Komara, Ron Fasano, and Brooke Slanina. Welcome to all guests!
Hillary led us in singing "Dixie". We're still not winning any awards.

IVAN MUSGROVE gave us an update on little 6 year old Sam who experienced a 25 ft. fall from a balcony. He still has a way to go. He had a compound fracture and bruised 70% of his brain.
