Norman Rotary Club gives thanks to Norman

The Norman Transcript

NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:

Thank you Norman. 

The Norman Rotary Club Bueno Brunch was a success due to  the hard work of the club members  who sold tickets and waited on tables during the brunch.

However the success was also due to the support of the Norman Community and El Chico Restaurant.

  The money raised will go to support such activities as Meals on Wheels, Big Brothers and Sisters, Center for Children and Families, and Health for Friends among others.

Proceeds are also used to help fund the Rotary International Polio Plus project to eradicate Polio throughout the world. Special thanks to the folk at El Chico and General Manager Saied Hashemi for donating their time and effort to make this a success.

  • Misinformation clouds global warming

    Next spring I will again have to update my lecture on global warming. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is now rising above the 400 ppm level for the first time in perhaps 5 million years — a scenario humans have never experienced. In my Geology ...

    The sight of hundreds of young student volunteers walking across Moore’s Fourth Street interstate overpass had to be uplifting to the city’s tornado victims. They carried rakes, brooms and trash bags. A few had children’s red wagons. There ...

  • Roman Catholic Church too busy to respond with hate

    Editor, The Transcript: Diana Frost’s letter of May 19 concerning the Roman Catholic Church was so unreasonable that it almost defies response. Still, one of her many accusations must be addressed....

  • There’s no answer for ‘Why?’

    Just hours before, there was breakfast and laughter. Pictures were on the walls and memories were in every room. But in seconds, those joys of life were reduced to a concrete slab by a rage of nature that man will never fully understand....
