This morning’s meeting of the Naples Gulf Shore Sunset Rotary Club focused on the mission of Saint Matthew’s House in East Naples. The discussion was led by Van Ellison, the CEO of the organization. Their services focus on providing temporary housing for the homeless, while addressing the causes of the condition such as poverty and substance abuse. Men, women, and children are served, and many of them go on to become contributing citizens. Some are even awarded college scholarships. The organization is funded largely by its catering company and its thrift stores.

July 6, 2016 Naples Gulf Shore Sunset Rotary Meeting

Dear Fellow Rotarians, We had a wonderful first breakfast meeting at Hyatt House Naples today. We had a surprise guest speaker, Francis Rooney, who told us about his time as U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican. He explained how the Holy See does much backroom negotiations in world affairs including being instrumental in assisting the end of the cold war starting about a year and a half before the fall of the Soviet Union. Much more is explained in his book “The Global Vatican: An Inside Look at the Catholic Church, World Politics, and the Extraordinary Relationship between the Unites States and the Holy See."

 Following Mr. Rooney, Amanda Theobold gave us a great presentation of her recent trip to the S4TL conference which the club sponsored and then Amanda led us all in the 4 Way Test. Please remember that all our meetings now (both Breakfast and Dinner) will be at the Hyatt House Naples. See you next week with your pins on.
