The 24th annual Arkansas Sportshow is just around the corner. The show will take place on February 1-3 at the Arkansas State University Convocation Center in Jonesboro. This year’s show has a brand new line up of attractions, sem-inars and vendors. New to this year’s show will be an autograph session with former NASCAR great, Geoff Bodine. Come meet Geoff and ask the former Daytona 500 champion what it feels like to be in the winners circle. The second an-nual regional turkey calling contest is back by popular demand. This is a National Wild Turkey Federation sanctioned qualifying contest for the 2009 Wild Turkey Grand National Calling Champi-onship. Troy Cox from Mizmo Bait Company will be demonstrating successful hard bait and soft bait presentation skills in the fish tank. Troy has extensive tournament experience on many local lakes so bring your questions with you to ask the experts how to catch “the big one”! In addition, we will conduct a 3D pop up Archery Tournament during the show. The tournament is open to the public and will be identical to the professional tournaments as seen on television. Phyllis Speer from the Arkansas Game and Fish will be on hand

24th ANNUAL ARKANSAS SPORTSHOWBy Kent Bridger, 2008 Arkansas Sportshow Chairman

to discuss her favorite outdoor recipes. Children of all ages will be entertained in the Kid’s Cor-ner. Happy Times Petting Zoo along with the Crowley’s Ridge Nature Center will provide fun activities for the children. We are also proud to have the 875th rock climbing wall in the Kid’s Corner. Kids will once again have the chance to win an iPod shuffle by participating in a coloring contest. We will also have the World’s Greatest Trout Tank stocked to the brim with Rainbow and Golden Trout. If that isn’t enough, we will have the Mid South Big Buck Extravaganza where the largest deer taken in the region are brought to the Convocation Center and judged by an offi-

cial Boone and Crockett scorer to see who will win the title. Vendors will have everything from campers and ATVs to the latest outdoor gizmo’s and paintball guns. We have something for ev-eryone in the family whether you are an outdoor enthusiast or not.

The Arkansas Sportshow is a service project and fundraiser of the Rotary Club of Jonesboro. For the past 23 years this show has been pro-duced, promoted, staffed and managed by mem-bers of the Jonesboro Rotary Club and the Inter-act Clubs from Jonesboro, Nettleton, Westside and Valley View. All proceeds from this event go back into Jonesboro and Rotary International projects. A few of these projects include Rotary Centennial Park at Craighead Forrest, Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts and Interact Scholarships on the local level and Polio Eradication on the international level. Please come out and enjoy the Arkansas Sportshow and know that you are helping to support many worthy causes in our community.

Sadler McGraw made the trek from Alabama to Jonesboro to win the first ever Arkansas Sportshow Regional Turkey Calling Championship in both Senior Open and Friction divisions. The Rotary Club of Jonesboro is spon-soring the second annual “Arkansas Sportshow Regional Turkey Calling Championship” on February 2nd at 12:30pm. The contest will be held in the auditorium of the Arkansas State University Convocation Center in con-junction with the Arkansas Sportshow. This is a NWTF sanctioned qualifying contest for the 2009 Wild Turkey Bour-bon/ NWTF Grand National Calling Championship.

We have had a great response from contestant inquiring about our con-test. This contest is the first qualify-ing contest in our area for the 2009 Wild Turkey Bourbon/ NWTF Grand National Calling Championship and it is just before the 2008 Wild Turkey Bourbon/ NWTF Grand National Call-

ing Championship. We are going to see a lot of high quality contestants in the Senior Open Division that will be here to sharpen their skills before the Grand National event to be held on February 21, 2009 in Atlanta, GA. We have had inquiries from contestants from all over Arkansas as well as Col-orado, Missouri, and Alabama. This contest is also a great opportunity for people that have never competed be-fore to test their skills in the Jakes or Amateur division and win some great prizes.

The contest will have five divisions: Jakes, Amateur, Owl Hooting, Fric-tion, and Senior Open. The Jakes divi-sion is open to all contestants that are 15 years old and under. Prizes and tro-phies will be awarded to the top three contestants. The Amateur division is open to anyone who has not previ-ously won or placed in turkey calling contest. Prizes and trophies will also be given to the top three finishers. The

bring a brighter future to children in all parts of the Rotary world.

Heifer InternationalA nonprofit group that provides farm ani-

mals to families in need to help them be-come self-sufficient. Support for this program has allowed hundreds of third world families to be able to have the resources to send their children to school.

Literacy in the WorldRotarians are providing support reading

lessons and activities for more than one mil-lion children in the world.

Hundreds of clean water projects and thousands of shelters have been provided for those in need.

More than One Billion Dollars has been re-ceived by the Rotary Foundation to provide for those in need.

It’s About the Centennial ParkRotary Centennial Park is a playground

designed to enable children of all abilities to learn, explore and play together. The park will be 70% universally accessible and will be challenging for all children. The park will include a wheelchair track, basketball facilities, picnic areas and fishing piers. The playground will be a first for Northeast Arkansas and will offer children of all ages and all abilities an opportunity to participate in activities geared to their special needs. Rotary Centennial Park will be located in Craighead Forest Park in Jonesboro. Rotary Way is the new name of the road previously named Access Road 5. This location places Rotary Centennial Park close to the new Ar-kansas Game and Fish Commission’s Crow-ley Ridge Nature Center.

It’s About Your Local CommunityThe Jonesboro Rotary Club has supported

and worked with many service organizations

It’s about lending a hand to those who need it!

It’s about Rotarians providing water and shelter for hundreds of Afghan refugees who fled from the conflict and instability in their country to neighboring Pakistan.

It’s about Rotarians giving assistance to the many families who lost their homes in the recent California fires.

It’s about Rotarians helping hundreds of families after Hurricane Mitch hit Central America.

It’s about Rotarians helping when a mag-nitude 7.2 earthquake struck Kobe, Japan, killing 6,279 and destroying 192,706 homes.

It’s about Rotarians who have provided relief in dozens of countries throughout the world for the people who have fallen victim to nature’s wrath or man made disasters.

It’s about Rotarians who clothe the naked, feed the poor, provide shelter to the home-less, and bring relief to the sick, regardless of their nationality, political boundary, religion or culture.

It’s about Rotarians who believe and prac-tice in “Service Above Self”.

It’s About World Peace Ambassadorial Scholarships

These scholarships foster world under-standing and good will by giving people opportunities to study in another country. More than 30,000 young men and women from 69 nations have studied abroad in 64 countries through the efforts of Rotary.

Group Study Exchanges These provide unique cultural and vo-

cational exchange opportunities for young business and professional men and women between the ages of 25 and 40 and in the early years of their professional lives. The program has provided thousands of people with travel grants for exchange visits between paired areas in different countries.

The first class of 70 Rotary Peace Schol-ars began their studies at the seven Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution. These seven centers, located at prestigious universities throughout the world, will support a new generation of peacemakers. This program is indeed a bold and ambitious commitment to the cause of world peace. By educating 70 individu-als each year in peace negotiation, conflict resolution, and diplomacy, Rotary will ad-dress in a very real way the importance for individuals and groups to better understand one another, find common ground, forego violence, and focus on the pressing needs of the world.

University Teacher GrantsRotary grants for University Teachers pro-

vide funds to higher education faculty to trav-el abroad to teach at colleges and universi-ties in developing countries. The program is intended to build international understanding and foster development while strengthening higher education in low-income countries. The program also aims to establish ties be-tween higher education institutions, leading to the exchange of ideas and information across the globe.

It’s About Humanitarian Needs of the Children of the World

Every minute 23 more children die from hunger and preventable disease. Every hour, scores of children are orphaned by the scourge of HIV/AIDS. Every day, millions of children do not go to school because they lack access to education. Every month chil-dren’s lives are disrupted by war and civil conflict. Every year that the problems faced by our most vulnerable population - our chil-dren - are not solved, represents another generation that will be all too familiar with war, poverty and despair. In 2002, Rotar-ians implemented nearly 1,600 local proj-ects with a combined $20 million budget to

It’s About Eradication of PolioRotary has a goal of eradicating polio

worldwide by 2005. Last year’s Rotary Campaign raised $80,000,000 for to-tal eradication of polio. In 2002, over 500,000,000 children were immunized for polio. The number of polio cases has been reduced by 99 percent since Rotary and partner agencies formed the global po-lio eradication initiative — from 350,000 in 1988 to 491 in November of 2003. Ninety-five percent of all new cases have been found in narrowly defined provinces of Nigeria, Pakistan and India.

Only ten countries have any cases of the wild poliovirus. It has been eliminated from most of the continents.
