This is what we Gen Xers used to jokingly call “A Very Special Episode...” Like when the Network would use a popular 80s sitcom like Punky Brewster to pursue a depressing storyline like the broken foster care system. Walp - here’s Spoken Wheel’s Very Special Episode. (Because of a little thing called Corona) Same format as always - Segment 1, I interview Tammy Palmgren, the Wizard behind our ECR’s 2019 Dog Days Race and the Chair of the Most Inspiring Dog Days Giveback Ceremony in the Entire History of the Club - and yes, all that needed capitalization because it WAS that awesome. Part 2 - like always, I interview a Rotarian outside of the Club and here’s where Kleenex might come in handy - I interview my Stepfather, Hilliard Caldwell, former Carrboro NC Alderman, noted Civil Rights Activist, Rotarian of the Rotary Club of Pointe Coupee, Louisiana, husband to my fiery Mom, father to myself and 3 siblings, and “Poppy” to various grandkids. We talk about some of these things, but the interview has another level of meaning to it as he was diagnosed a year ago this month with rapid advancing dementia. Again - I warned you guys this was going to be a Very Special Episode. Segment 3 - we end with a collage of interviews of various grant recipients of the Dog Days monies raised. They left the ceremony almost 4 weeks ago with smiles and checks for their various non profit and charitable organizations , but Corona is already putting a strain on resources as many of them deal with homelessness, job security, substance abuse, medical needs. How are they weathering this storm? How are they planning on keeping the wheel turning in this crazy time of uncertainty? Just like you, I’m eager to hear what they have to say and what - if anything - we can all do to help. Stay tuned. Episode will air on or before March 27th 2020.
