Gina Updates Club on Mayer School Partnership
 
Gina Lloyd, the Coordinator of Voluntary Resources for Mayer High School, seen above with President Christy Manning and Community Service Director Marsha Teller, gratefully received our club's latest contributions to help provide for some of the needs of the homeless students enrolled at that school.  The update she brought to us, related to our club's partnership with the school, was a disheartening one. She told us that, due to budget constraints, her position will be eliminated at the end of this school year.  This is a serious concern, since Gina has been coordinating participation by eight organizations who, like our club, have been partnering with this school.  Some of our club's members will be looking into ways that Gina's valuable services might be continued.  We have appreciated so much being able to work with her to help these students. 
 
 
 
CLUB SERVICE
 
CLUB BOARD MEETING POSTPONED to April 3, due to Spring Break for the schools.
 
PV ROTARY CONTINUES TO GROW!
 
 
Bob Ticer, Co-President of our satellite Prescott Valley Rotary Club, inducted two more members last Tuesday into this rapidly-growing club.  Seen here, along with their sponsor, are Stephanie Robinson, Director of Neighborhood Services for the Town of Prescott Valley, and Rachel Heath Van Horn, an Estate Planner, Generation Living Trusts.  With these two additions, this new club is now up to 20 members.  Perhaps the most exciting asapect is that most of these new members are new to Rotary. 
 
 
ROTARY FOUNDATION
 
REMEMBER:  The deadline for getting your Let's Make A Deal club match for your contribution to The Rotary Foundation is March 31.  If you make your contribution online, via www.rotary.org, be sure to designate your donation for the Annual Fund SHARE, in order for us to be able to access and use those funds for our community and international service projects, utilizing TRF District Grants and Global Grants.  If you make your contribution online, be sure to send or give the receipt for your donation to Art Harrington, our Rotary Foundation Chair, so the required paperwork can be submitted for you to gain the club match for what you have given.

A diner in a restaurant started to choke on a bone.  Another diner rushed over and performed the Heimlich Maneuver. The bone popped out.

As the first man's breath and voice returned he said, "You saved my life! How can I ever repay you?"

The other man grinned and said, "I'll settle for one percent of what you were willing to pay while you were choking."

The Prez Says
Christy Manning
 
I hope this message finds you well.  I wanted to remind everyone that we will be dark this week due to our special St. Patrick’s Day event.  This gathering is a wonderful opportunity to come together with members from the other two Prescott clubs, as well as our friends from the Prescott Valley club, to celebrate, socialize, and strengthen the bonds that make Rotary so unique.
 
Rotary is built on the foundation of fellowship and service, and events like this allow us to deepen our connections with one another while supporting causes that make a lasting impact in our community.  Through collaboration and camaraderie, we not only build friendships but also foster a spirit of unity that strengthens our ability to serve others.
 
I want to express my gratitude to everyone who signed up to attend.  Your participation helps keep our club vibrant and engaged.  A special thank you to Whitney (James Marco Health), Sarah (Patine2), and Cassidy (Restivo’s Wrenches) for generously donating our raffle gifts.  I also put together a raffle basket to contribute.  Your contributions are vital to our fundraising efforts, which allow us to support important projects and initiatives that make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
 
I look forward to sharing an evening of fun, laughter, delicious food, and refreshing drinks all while supporting our mission of service above self.  Let’s make this event memorable and continue to embody the spirit of Rotary.
 
Thank you for all for your dedication and support.  See you there!
