Even though our Wednesday morning meeting was cancelled, due to the ice and snow, our Satellite Prescott Valley Rotary Club did meet on Tuesday evening, inducting five new members to our club, who are committted to our PV Rotary Club. These new members include Gilbert Davidson, Prescott Valley Town Manager; Jennifer Hardison, Busiiness Banking with OneAZ Credit Union; Anne Keenan, self-employed Property Manager; Gary Murphy, retired business owner, and Kendall Day Schumacher, PV City Council Member, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway, and owner of Day 2 Day Bookkeeping Service. WELCOME, NEW MEMBERS! Together wth Co-Presidents Bob Ticer annd Joe Sweeney, that makes 7 new members for our satelllite club. As Christy notes in her article, 7 more member applications have been submitted. The goal is for this club to officially charter as its own, independent Prescott Valley Rotary Club when they reach 25 members, and they have their own leadership structure in place. Until then, our Prescott-Sunup Rotary Club will be providing the support structure for the new club, and we will be handling the necessary reporting to Rotary International and the Internal Revenue Service.

A guy spots a sign outside a house that reads “Talking Dog for Sale.” Intrigued, he walks in.
“So what have you done with your life?” he asks the dog.
“I’ve led a very full life,” says the dog. “I lived in the Alps rescuing avalanche victims. Then I served my country in Iraq. And now I spend my days reading to the residents of a retirement home.”
The guy is flabbergasted. He asks the dog’s owner,
“Why on earth would you want to get rid of an incredible dog like that?”
The owner replies, “Because he’s a liar! He never did any of that!
