Sept 28, 2015 - We were honored by the visit of our District Governor, Sherry Maschel, who knighted our President, Dave Kline, and then the entire club. After reviewing our last year's performance, Sherry talked about the "Power of Rotary" and what it takes to bring young people into the organization. She suggested that we need to focus on young people by increasing our emphasis on programs such as "Early Rotarians", Interact, Rotaract, RYLA, and Rotary Youth Exchange. Sherry wants us to adopt the acronym RERF - which means Recruit - Engage - Retain - Fun. Paying attention to REFR should help us "Growing our Club".
We all enjoyed Sherry's visit and had a great time together.
Sept 30, 2015 - Today, club members Harry, Ken, Machel, Doug, and Dave spent a few hours transferring food from boxes to shelves and then packing food bags at the Kyrene Resource Center. These food bags will be available to needy families in the area beginning on Thursday morning. Our club is hoping to increase our participation with this very worthwhile charitable organization. After words we all enjoyed fellowship at lunch.
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 Corridor RC as well. The URL for this page is KyreneRotary.org
Sept 21, 2015 - Denise Rentschler, a Public Information Officer (PIO) with the city of Tempe gave us an enthusiastic description of the many events and programs supported by the city. Denise has been in this position for 8 years and feels that Tempe has weathered the worst of the economic slump and is now moving forward on many fronts. She said that the city is now averaging about 2 events per week end, and conducts around 900 programs every quarter that cover a wide range of interests, geared mainly towards families. For example, there is the Halloween Carnival, Movies in the Park, Playday, Kids Swim Free, Arts in Kiwanis park every Friday, events on Town Lake, and a host of others. Denise believes that Tempe is now entering a very creative, forward looking phase in their parks that will benefit the entire community. Check out their new brochure.
Sept 14, 2015 - "Steps of Love" runs an orphanage near Rocky Point, Mexico. Larry Horton (past president of Rio Salado and Camelback Crossroads Rotary Clubs) described how his club is partnering with Steps of Love. Larry's club is looking for other clubs to work with them to: (1) travel to Rocky Point to "put hands on the project"; (2) provide needed items for the orphanage; and (3) donate funds to help the orphanage. Larry's club plans to travel to Rocky Point in October and again in November. Larry and his club are very excited about the project and hope that other clubs will join them in this endeavor.
