| 2021 Completed Community Potable Water System for Communities in Ecuador |
With completion of the successful Global Grant # 1874107 from Rotary International,
the Rotary Club of Bahía de Caráquez has now completed seven of these water projects bringing safe water to the homes of about 1800 families so far...
a successful effort that would never have been possible if not for the goodwill and participation of Rotarians and their clubs.
RCWP continues to support the efforts of Rotarians in Bahia. Documentation of this project's conclusion and the
letter from R.I. can be found here

Our club has worked with the Bahia club over the past 2 decades, arranging to help Bahia directly by, for example,
donating an ambulance, providing fire-fighting gear, and helping build a school. A summary of prior projects can be found at

2013 - Harry Bright's Motivational Speech to Track Stars
Our club sponsors the annual Loucks Track Meet, and Harry gave a motivational
speech to the WPHS athletes on April 23, 2013. This is a 5 minute video; it's a really good speech.
2018 - Harry Bright's TV Interview "Gotta Run"
Harry O. Bright was a world class runner, and a pioneering member of the New York Pioneer Club.
In this interview, Harry discusses his running experiences throughout his life,
including track meets around the world, his US Army track events, and more.
Throughout his life, Harry confronted and (usually) overcame the societal institutionalized racism
that blocked his path as he continued to run and succeed in his career.
This is a 28 minute video made just one month before Harry's 89th birthday; it's so much fun listening to Harry recount many life experiences. |

During the 20th century, Rotarians were expected to carry membership cards and present them as proof of membership when visiting other clubs.
Old-timers may also recall how important it was to obtain "make-up" slips when visiting other clubs, because the attendance requirement
was real, and you could really lose your membership if you missed too many meetings. By the turn of the century, we purchased paper
member cards as shown, and used Word's mailmerge function to create a personalized membership card for each Rotarian in the club.
It was a giant step forward to use plastic cards in 2003-04.
