The United States and China are two of the world’s superpowers as well as major economic players in the global market. Their histories and philosophies of governance, however, could not be more different. Exploring these differences is the topic on Saturday, June 4, in an educational program at the Global Village Museum of Arts & Cultures. Dr. Charles Greer, who has lived in both China and Taiwan, will speak at 2 pm on “Being Chinese:  Citizen, Nation, and the People’s Republic.”
Greer’s presentation is part of a lecture series with “China’s Imperial Treasures:  Art and Artifacts,” the Museum’s main exhibit through June 18.  Admission to the program and the Museum’s four galleries is 
$5 for adults and free for Museum members.  Located at 200 W. Mountain Avenue, the Museum is open 
Tuesday-Saturday, 11-5 pm.  For more information, please visit globalvillagemuseum.org or call

Our Stories
This Week's Program - The Amazing Beef Industry
According to a PBS Frontline report, “In recent decades, the beef industry has undergone a radical transformation -- the small cattle farmer has been all but replaced by beef processing companies that own huge feedlots and industrial meat-packing plants. One result of this concentration has been inexpensive and readily available meat; beef now costs half of what it did in 1970.”  This week, our own beef industry expert, Dr. Johnny Matsushima will review the changes and help us understand the impact.  Matsushima will be introduced by Past President Bill West.

Last Week's Program - Dream Big

Introduced by Rotarian Lee Jeffery, Dr. Noah Kaufman began by naming his two associates, Ian and Brian, who were members of his organization The Wolfpack Ninjas whose goal was similar to that of Rotary: service in action to help make the world a better place. Brian and Ian would talk, he said, about their experiences working with youth about health and fitness and their efforts to make a dent in childhood obesity.
