Rotary Club Updated on Wright's Pioneer Desert Home
Lindsey Crosland, Estate Manager, David and Gladys Wright House Foundation, led a presentation to Rotary Club of Scottsdale members and guests about the landmark designation for the David & Gladys Wright House Property. World-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed this pioneering desert home on a 10-acre parcel for his son and daughter in 1950. Wright's son, David Samuel Wright, acting as general contractor, completed the house in 1952. David Samuel Wright and his wife Gladys lived in the home until their deaths in 1997 and 2008, respectively. The house, elevated above-ground, was described in a November 1955 edition of House Beautiful as "a castle in the air, curving above the hot, dusty floor of the desert at the base of Camelback Mountain, looking out in all directions above the tree tops of orange groves and surrounding mountains." The David Wright House is one of three spiral designs realized by Frank Lloyd Wright and the precursor to the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The house is regarded as Mr. Wright’s last residential masterpiece. Past Club President, John Thornton, introduced Ms Crosland at the luncheon meeting held at Scottsdale McCormick Lakeside Ballroom.
The mission of the David and Gladys Wright House Foundation is to restore and maintain the David Wright House and grounds, to celebrate the artistic legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright at the site of one of his most unique and architecturally significant houses through tours, educational programs, exhibitions, lectures, research facilities, events and performances, and to inspire creativity in future generations of artists and architects.

Rotary Club Celebrates Presidents
Rotarian Gary Dorris provided the Rotary Club of Scottsdale members and guests with an interesting view of the leadership styles of US Presidents Lincoln and Washington. Dorris has been a Rotarian for the past 44 years, 22 of which with the Rotary Club of Scottsdale. Growing up in Southern Illinois, in the land of Lincoln, Dorris's life-long interest and admiration of Lincoln has resulted in study of volumes of both favorable and critical perspectives of Lincoln's actions during the Civil War. Dorris has authored several books about Lincoln, including Abraham Lincoln - An Uncommon, Common Man, a narrative of Lincoln's life. As narrator/author, Dorris tells of Lincoln's magnanimity in both victory and defeat, his continual quest for self-improvement, his personal tragedies, and his compassion in the midst of war. Per Dorris, Lincoln was a complicated man; unassuming but ambitious, honest but wily, humorous but occasionally despondent, spiritual but not religious, and he thought slavery was evil but condoned its legality until late in his life.
