 June 20, 2016 - Lori Regnier of the Starbright Foundation gave us an intensive and disturbing view of the problem of child sex-trafficking in the Phoenix area. Most of the population seems to be in denial of this serious problem in our midst. The Starbright Foundation's mission is "to rescue children and young adults from human sex trafficking and modern day slavery, as well as other dangerous and abusive environments..." They provide many services associated with this mission. Check their web site. Lori gave us many graphic examples of the problem and the need to provide much more education to the community, especially to young girls who are the principal targets. Social Media is a tool being used by predators to lure these children away. We all need to pay attention to and be aware of this reprehensible activity in our midst.

June 4, 2016 - Thirty-five volunteers from several East Valley clubs participated in this quarterly multi-club project. Today we sorted and packed more than 12,000 pounds of food. This means that each volunteer helped provide over 250 meals for needy families in the Valley. Our Kyrene club had a good turnout of members and family. We look forward to the next project on September 24.
