February 11, 2019 - Today Juliette Starkey, Director of Operations and Luke Emerson, Grants Program Manager from the Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA) visited our club to give us an overview of their programs. Juliette gave us a description of the many programs offered by the Agency. They are reaching out into the community to assist with housing, meals, education, and homelessness. Our club has decided to support this organization financially and with sweat equity on various projects. The presentation was well received by the club and generated much discussion.
If you are a busy person who wants to have fun while making a difference, then be our guest for lunch on Monday (not holidays) from 12:10 to 1:15 pm at the Kobe Japanese Steakhouse. We are men and women in ages from 30's to retired. Check our Facebook page - Kyrene RC as well. The URL for this page is KyreneRotary.org
Feb 5, 2019 - After our 4th AWIM meeting of this session, the 9 volunteers and friends of Kyrene Rotary met for lunch and fellowship. The photo shows (clockwise from lower left) Doug, Pat, Bill, Andy, Jim, David, Ken, Skip, and Dave. We are half way through the project and the students are doing very well - many of them truly understand compound gear ratios. Now it's time to put the cars together. Lots of fun.
Feb 1, 2019 - Today, many of our club members met at Save the Family in Mesa to tour their largest residential complex for homeless families and learn more about the role they play in helping homeless families move forward in gaining employment, establish residence in temporary housing, and create a meaningful life for their children. In addition to Jamie Podratz, we met Greg Boone, Chief Development Officer, an individual we will work closely with as our 2019 Classic Golf Tournament evolves. We presented Jamie with a $2,500 check which represents our initial investment in the organization and look forward to a meaningful relationship that will benefit individuals as they work to build a better life and create a loving and secure home environment for their families.
January 28, 2019 - Today was our Exchange Student, Flor's Birthday. The club presented her with a candle-adorned cake and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday. Flor gave us an update on her activities and experiences so far and described her participation in RYLA in some detail. Several members of the club have had the opportunity to visit with Flor for a few days. We continue to be impressed and are very proud of her. She is a great ambassador for her country, Argentina.
