Nick's Notes:
I missed last week. It was a holiday week anyway.
Girl friend no. 4 needed to be driven to Newark Airport last Sunday. Newark Airport. Who on earth would take a plane out of Newark? I'd rather pay through the nose and leave from Westchester.
There used to be the advantage of cheaper gasoline in NJ but since they put a tax on it it's now the same price as in CT. So I didn't bother filling up. Their loss. The traffic wasn't too bad on the the way back, although it now costs $15.00 to cross the GW bridge. So I thought I'd drown my sorrows with a cup of coffee in the LAST REST STOP IN NJ (their sign), the Vince Lombardi rest stop. I'm not sure who Mr. Lombardi is, or was, but if he's dead he would be turning in his grave. Half the fast food places were closed and the lines for Starbucks, manned by one poor server, went round the block. In the store the prices for candy are simply a joke. Imagine coming to America for the first time, arriving at Newark Airpot and stopping off for a coffee en route to your destination. Wake up NJ. Get your act together.
You will notice that when I lack inspiration in this column I end up bitching about life in general. At least WSRC remains a positive force in my life and that of its members.
My friend Janet Evelyn certainly had her act together for presenting last Saturday's 5th NICE (Norwalk International Cultural Experience) festival in Norwalk. It gets better every year. Music, Dancers, multiple food vendors and exotic clothes were in evidence and despite the rain, everybody had a good time.

Rotary's commitment to Service Above Self has been channeled through the Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of club activity. Club Service (Fun, Fellowship and Fundraising)
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.
Vocational Service (Four-WayTest)
Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.
Community Service (Charitable Giving and Hands-On)
Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.
International Service (International Projects and PolioEradication)
International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary's humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to Polio Plus to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
New Generations Service ( Rising Young Voices)
New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities such as RYLA Rotaract and Interact club service projects, and creating international understanding with Rotary Youth Exchange.
