ANNOUNCEMENTS AND CLUB BUSINESS

Posted by Robert Homann on Feb 14, 2018

1. The Gilbert Rotary Club is sponsoring a Trivia Night as a fund raiser for their club. It will be held on Friday, March 2nd from 6 pm to 9 pm. Location: Shakespeare Room of the SE Regional Library at 775 N. Greenfield Rd. in Gilbert. Harvey Clark is assembling a team from our club to compete in the event.

2. Mike Cowan still needs 3 volunteers for the Lost Dutchman Days beer sales and a person to supervise the Sunday effort.

3. Harvey told the club that the February 28 program concerning "The 13 Folds of the American Flag" will be held in the main dining room. Guests from outside the club need to register with Harvey at harvey.clarksuperrotary@gmail.com.

4. The drawing today was worth only $22 since Murray Hiatt found the joker last week. Ron Knies won $10 but drew the queen of hearts - appropriate for Valentine's Day.

5. Mike Dungan served as our Sargent-at-Arms today.

SPEAKERS

Posted by Robert Homann on Feb 14, 2018

Curt Ward, President of the Gilbert Rotary Club led off with a presentation about the Navajo Water Project. This project is working with the St. Bonaventure Nation. Currently most homes on the St. Bonaventure Reservation get their water via a monthly tanker truck delivery. This method has problems with storing adequate amounts for the month. This project pays for the construction of a communal cistern large enough to serve 17-18 families and costs $4,500. Their budget is met for one cistern but there are still 150 more families who could benefit from the communal cistern idea.

Curt is hoping that a $75,000 Rotary Global Grant they have applied for will be approved. He also is hoping Sun Lakes Rotary will take over the leadership role for this global grant. Our club could become a sustaining member for the Sun Lakes club.

Curt's presentation was followed by classification talks by three of our newest members - Warren Salinger, Lorraine ________ and Ray Trankle. Each person told an interesting story of their lives, their values and their previous experience with Rotary, if any.
