Our History from1875-1929, presented by

Dan Ruminski Storyteller

Great Estates of Wickliffe

Dan Ruminski will present a fascinating story making the Cleveland connection, Euclid Avenue’s “Millionaire Row,” to the great movie, “The King’s Speech.” Journey from “Millionaires’ Row” to “Millionaires Mile” in Wickliffe, to London, Paris, and ending in Hunting Valley. Hear how our main character, Laura Mae Corrigan, rose from poverty, entertaining royalty and fighting the Third Reich.

Enjoy a wonderful evening and support WRAP – Willoughby Rotary Autism Project.

The members of the Willoughby Rotary Club voted to make a difference in their community by helping families affected by Autism. The club was looking for a local need that they could support not only financially, but in other ways

as well. When Autism was suggested and mem-bers learned more about it, it became obvious that this was a project that every Rotarian could “wrap” their arms around.

The basic facts are staggering:

•Autism affects 1 in 110 children•Autism affects 1 in 70 boys, and boys are

four times more likely to have Autism•More children will be diagnosed with

Autism this year than with cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined

•Autism is the fastest growing serious de-velopmental disability in the U.S.
