Nelson Mandela: “Children are our greatest treasure. They are our future”.
Our Club’s Brand…really our Strategic Focus Areas are supporting children and veterans. We have and will be making great strides in both areas last week and this week
Special thanks to the 12 Sunupians able to help set up the Healing Fields this past Thursday. Was a great turnout and we were able to identify a need for some of our 3X5 flags in storage. Our club will be working to partner with the Healing Fields organizers in the coming months to donate several of our flags, they are currently short 26 flags for next year’s event—we can fix that!
This week’s meeting will focus on our club’s impact on the children within our community. Our guest speaker will be presenting information on two possible bond issuances up for consideration in November. Those bonds are centered on improving the Prescott School District’s infrastructure, increasing the number of educators in Prescott and better compensating those on the front lines, shaping our nation’s future.
Additionally, our club and foundation will be presenting a check for $3,000 to Mingus Springs Charter School to help them fight food insecurity. These funds will directly impact 1/3 of their students and their families. Half of these funds were secured via a nomination by our board, later approved by the club, at large, back in April. The other half were awarded to the club in the form of a District Grant.
HOT OFF THE PRESS—our Club Service Director, Sarah Van Bourgondien will be hosting a Sunup Rotary Halloween Party on 31 October! Be thinking about your costume now, there will be prizes for the best costume and a fine for those that arrive as a “Rotarian😊.”
See you Wednesday!
Warm Regards,
