It is supposed to be Spring here now but waking up to minus 7, it just doesn't feel like it yet. I recall my visit to Hawaii a couple years ago and remember our visit to the Club and the meeting at Volcano House. It was much warmer there. In any case, I saw your events and it got me to thinking about Vocation and I thought you might find this interesting.
There is a very recent newspaper article but you can also go to the website www.whoisnobody.com
Very best,
Rotarian Dave Palmer
I wish I could send the article by email but hopefully this gets there.
Passing along some good news about ..........Nobody.

How to read it on the internet.............go to www.runge.net
It will open to the Ottawa Region Media page and you can set yourself up for a free account where is says Click here for a free account
It is easy, just give it a name your own or whatever is easy to remember and a simple password and you are set up and ready to go.

It takes a couple minutes to get all the information and the Who is Nobody Article is on Pages 12 & 13.
Well done to Mr. Cruise's Grade 6 Class at Parkwood Hills School and well done Nobody, you are definitely becoming quite a somebody and also a warm and hearty thanks to the excellent reporting by Margaret Sambol from Nepean This Week.
I believe that there will be quite a few Nobody's becoming Somebody because of the efforts of many students and their teachers in many area schools.
Students, well done to all for your great efforts and participation and the fantastic things You and Nobody have done to help others in so many ways.
Cheers,
Rotarian Dave Palmer
