LAST WEEK'S MEETING 

MR. JEAN GABRIEL CHELALA JOINED US
ON HIS QUEST TO SET WORLD RECORD

August 13, 2008 - Mr. Jean Gabriel Chelala is out to set a world record by circumnavigating the globe under human power. He will accomplish this by cycling the land portion and pedaling the ocean portion in a 27ft pedal powered craft.  He is trying to prove that an ordinary person, armed with the strength of his conviction can pedal around the globe, in much the same way as Rotary's ordinary people do extraordinary things.

Find out more about his travels at his website at www.expedition48north.com.
