Dr. Nick McHargue presented the program at the Thursday, April 14 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank community room. Michael Ormsby presided at the meeting. Chris Hoffman gave the prayer and Joe MacDonald was the sergeant at arms.
Dr. McHargue and his wife, Cheri, recently returned from a trip to Israel, where they visited several sites. Dr. McHargue said Israel covers 8,000 square miles with four million persons. Shekel is the monetary imot of the country, with three shekels equaling $1 in U.S. currency. Israel has three branches of government and is second only to the U.S. in business start-ups. It is also the leading diamond cutter. Among the sites highlighted by Dr. McHargue were the Valley of Elah, where David slew Goliath; the Church of the Nativity; Mount Olive; the Dead Sea; and the tomb where Christ was laid after His crucifixion. He also talked about Petra, which is one of the seven wonders of the world and was established in the Third Century BC. He also shared pictures of his trip during the presentation.
During the business meeting, members were reminded that the deadline had been extended to May 1 to donate new shoes or make a monetary donation to the club’s Shoes for Orphan Souls project.
Justin Marshall from Quails Unlimited will present the program at the Thursday, April 21 meeting.
