It was a pleasure to have Steve Bracety, the new President and CEO of the Prescot Valley Chamber of Commerce, as our speaker last week. Having been a longtime member of the Prescott-Frontier Rotary Club, now that he is directing the PV Chamber, Steve recently elected to move his membership over to our new satellite Prescott Valley Rotary Club, making him officially now "one of us." For many years, Steve headed up the Prescott Resort & Conference Center, where some of our most successful Rotary District Conferences have been held. He is excited about the challenges and opportunities he sees in the future for the PV Chamber. The Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce is the “go-to” organization for businesses and business information. They have a business support strategy that offers programs, products and services for a variety of business needs. Their mission is to develop, promote and preserve the general business and community interests served by the organization. Prescott-Sunup is a great Rotary club. respected for our strong traditions of Youth Service and International Service, However, we are also very actively involved with many Community Service projects every year. We believe we have something for everyone. However, not all club members are equally connected and involved. If you have questions about how our club functions, where you might more actively serve, or if have suggestions on how we can do anything better, please talk with our club officers and directors. They are eager to work with you to make your Sunup Rotary experience the very best it can be. CLUB SERVICE Yes, it was time to celebrate, in Pres. Christy style, the birthdays of Tim Wiederaenders and Stave Bracety. Happy Birthday, guys! We hope you have many more. Our satellite Prescott Valley Rotary Club meets again this Tuesday at 4:30 at the PV Elks Club. Our Steve Sample will be speaking about the the Veretans Administration Hospital here in Prescott at Fort Whipple.

Our PHS Interact is inviting our club members, on Friday, April 25, at 2:30 pm. to help dedicate the new Peace Pole they have erected in the Food Forest on their campus, with the financial help of the Prescott-Frontier Rotary Club. The Food Forest is located in the alley on the west side of the school. Please park in the student parking lot on the northwest side, near the portable buildings, and enter through the alley gate. Cathleen Cherry, the PHS Interact Faculty Advisor says, "We'll have some picnic snacks and dedicate the beautiful Peace Pole. Can't wait to see you there!" INTERNATIONAL SERVICE WE NEED to have at least two of our members each year attend one of the Grants Management Seminars, in order for us to continue to sponsor Rotary Foundation District and Global Grants Projects. The last one this year is being offered online this Thursday, April 10, at 5:30 pm. Here is the Zoom link you can use to attend this seminar: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87388458027?pwd=A92rcC2Pg8AJcYm8Oyk5C0oFrEC21p.1  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."
