This week’s speaker:
Perry Springman
Perry is the lead singer/songwriter of the Canadian band, Perry And The
Poorboys. Perry's band plays primarily in schools, clubs, festivals and
churches in Canada, The U.S., Europe, Australia, and South America. They
have shared stages with such artists as Bob Geldoff, Bonnie Tyler,
Thomas McClary (guitarist/songwriter from The Commodores), DC
Talk, Michael W. Smith, Six Pence, and Steve Taylor. Perry has
recorded 10 albums. The latest CD entitled Halfway Around, features the
song 'Where Will You Sleep Tonight,' a beautiful song about two little
girls; One of them lives in a very poor village in Africa, the other is Perry's
daughter, Emma.
Perry plays acoustic guitar, ukulele, and performs songs from his large
repertoire of original music, and is often accompanied by one or more of his
musician friends. Perry has a great passion for his work with World Vision
and their Child Sponsorship program. He says, "it gives me an opportunity
to give back a small amount of what I have received as a result in living in a
prosperous country." He is very thankful to able to help connect people in
the West with an impoverished child in need from the Third World!
No stranger to Rotary Clubs, Perry has presented at more than
25 Rotary Clubs just in the state of Hawaii alone!
