The Sunupian January 10, 2022 (Jan 09, 2022)

Thank you to Speaker Art Harrington

Written by Jane Anne Shimizu. Edited by Lisa DeLeo. Biography excerpt taken from www.rotary5495.org

Sunupian Art Harrington has been a Rotarian since 1963, and his wife Sharon since 1988, with both functioning in many different leadership capacities. Art has served as a District Governor, GSE Team Leader to India, International Training Leader and Regional Rotary Foundation Coordinator. He currently is the District Rotary Youth Services Chair, and he continues to be an instructor for the Arizona Rotary Leadership Academy and the Rotary Leadership Institute. He is a Rotarian Advisor to several Interact clubs, and to the Interact District Council. Art has received the Rotary Foundation’s Citation for Meritorious Service and Rotary International’s highest honor, the Service Above Self Award. Art and Sharon are members of the Prescott Sunup Rotary Club. (quoted from https://rotary5495.org/)

His presentation encouraged all Rotarians to support the The Rotary Foundation with the ultimate goal of making Prescott Sunup Rotary to become a 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club in 2022.

The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.

The Every Rotarian Every Year (EREY) initiative asks every Rotarian to support The Rotary Foundation every year. In addition to contributing to the Annual Fund on a regular basis, members are encouraged to get involved in a Foundation project or program.

Every Rotarian Every Year means that each Rotarian contributes at least $25 to TRF’s annual fund. When every member of a club makes a donation, the club earns a banner celebrating 100% participation. Going up the ladder, when every member of every club contributes, District 5150 gets special recognition too.

Great News! For donations between $100 and $260, the district will match every dollar you give with recognition points that help you earn a Paul Harris Fellowship, one of Rotary’s most important honors.

Art's presentation reminds us that: "Your Rotary Foundation contributions are meeting needs and changing lives our contributions, together with the collective leadership and expertise of our 1.2 million members, are helping us tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges — locally and globally — reaching out to communities who are most in need."

RYLA

It's that time of year again when Rotarians from the three Prescott Area Rotary clubs are asked to assist with the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards program.

Please volunteer your pickup or large SUV at RYLA (or as a driver of someone else's pickup/SUV) on the morning of January 15 or 16, 2022 (Sat or Sun) to transport delegates from the main camp area through the woods to the high Ropes course (about a half mile). 2.5-hour shifts are available: 7:00-9:30 and/or 9:30-noon.

Camp Pine Rock - right here in Prescott, will again be the site for RYLA, which will again be held over the Martin Luther King weekend, Friday to Monday, January 14-17, 2022. Individual members from the clubs in our Area have traditionally provided this simple, yet integral service for the RYLA delegates.

Here's how to get involved:

1. Contact noel.j.desousa.gmail.com@clubrunner.email indicating that you would like to serve and your day and time preference. Having your own pickup or LARGE SUV is recommended, but we have a couple available for you to drive if needed.

2. Register as a volunteer at RYLA 5495pinerock.org You will be required to upload a picture of yourself in the registration form and a copy of your Covid vaccination card within the Health form. An email acknowledging your successful registration will immediately be sent to you.

3. Within a few days you will receive an additional email asking that you fill out a background check form. This is required for all RYLA volunteers every year. Among other information, you will need to fill in your Social Security number on the form.

Thank you for providing this service to our Rotary community and our RYLA delegates.
