Todd Clancy announced that on Monday 3 cars, 10 people went to the Navajo Nation with $20,000 worth of stuff and money.  On the way 2 trucks got flat tires.  They unloaded about 3:00 pm.  Everyone was wearing masks.  The stuff was unloaded at a warehouse that housed the Airforce, Army National Guard and FEMA.

 

Amy Robel volunteered to set up a screen when we go back to meeting in person.  We are looking at El Gato as they are ready for meetings.  The board will make a decision tomorrow.

 

The speaker on the 24th of June only wants to do the presentation in person.  Amy Robel suggested a speaker in veterinary care.

 

Everyone was fined $3.00 and many gave an extra $5 for going on vacation.

 

Our speaker was Sarah Tuberty, Katheryn’s daughter.  She has been in Rotary since she was 8 years old.  She is now in the E Club in Silicone Valley.  Sarah spoke on Aerial Arts and Disabilities.  She is a flight attendant, graduated from Boston University in occupational therapy. 

 

She is the co-creator of a podcast on Disability of the congenital hand because Sarah has a congenital hand disability.  It was caused by a blood clot at 8 weeks gestation.  She talked about the difficulties of having this disability especially at the age of 8 when kids start their social peer groups. She was made to feel subhuman which shows in a pencil drawing of her sad tree journey. Sarah gained her confidence when she became a flight attendant but especially when she got involved in Aerial Artists which gave her a super human perception instead of having a disability.
