What's New at VOSP
At the meeting, Tom H., Ken, and Marco shared their experience at the Bi-District Conference in Rocky Point last weekend.
Tom and Rebecca have picked the winners in the Peace Essay Contest for eighth grade students at Desert Spirit School. Marco and Rebecca will present certificates and prizes (gift cards) for the first three at the school's Commencement May 22 at 9:30AM. All members are welcome!
John has agreed to write the club's District Grant application for our dictionary project. There's still time before the May 31 deadline to submit a second application. Your ideas are welcome!
Paperwork has been completed (whew! that took more than a year) to donate our funds ($475) in the District 5495 Charitable Fund to The Rotary Vocational Fund of Arizona.
Rebecca has reached out to all of the clubs in the district about their service projects. Responses are coming in , and projects are listed in the calendar section of our website, and at the bottom of this newsletter. She'd still like someone to be the Service Project Chair and take this job over. Please.
Tom H is now a board member of the District 5495 Charitable Fund. Congratulations, Tom. Perhaps we'll have a program about the fund soon, but the bottom line is that it serves clubs like ours without a foundation which would like to offer donors a way to get tax deductions for their donations.
We'll have a speaker from outside our club at our June Meeting, Thanks to Tom H, our Speaker Chair. Please be sure to log on to hear Teresa Haire share her experience training to do mental health first aid.
