came   to   Central   Texas   (the  killings  at  Fort  Hood).      Many   scholars   define     Jihad  as  a     violent  holy  war  against  non-­‐Moslems.   Many   in   the    Moslem  world   refer   to     these  people  as  infidels.                        Wayne   believes   that   the  way   to   stop   jihad   is   found   in  his  book,  Vienna’s  Last  Jihad    Happy  Bucks($60)        Many  members  were   happy    to   be   Rotarians.     Malcolm  Hensley   attended   his   60th  high   school   reunion       in  Iraan,TX.    Don  Mabray     gave  a   short   history   of   the  Southwest   Conference.     Don  Kelley   is   happy   to   be   a  Horned  Frog.  Gordon  Bishop  was  happy  for  his  USC  Trojans  and  San  Diego  Chargers.          Attendance  46  members  and  7  guests            Service  above  Self  Outreach  to  the  Community      On   Sat.   Sept.   27,   a   group   of  Rotarians   organized   by  Adaire   Wolf   met   in   the  cafeteria   of   East   View   High  School   to   assemble   Rotary’s  Eiffel   Tower   for   their  homecoming   dance.   The  Tower   was   used   as   a  backdrop   for   their   photos.
