Whole lotta love for Jennette who underwent successful emergency hernia repair in Colorado!
Pints for Polio: Fourth time was a charm! Thanks to Russ, Bob, Garey,John and David for coming to PJ's. We had two patrons contribute to Pints for Polio!
Members shared their happiness, contributing another 70 dollars to The Rotary Vocational Foundation of Arizona (TRVFA). This brings our total donation from Happy Bucks to $160 plus the $250 in honor of DG Larry Horton's visit for a grand total of $410!
Thank you to people of action: Robin, Mark, Russ, Heather, Holly, John, Ernie, Tracey, and Robert! They all participated in the 1st Annual District Environmental Challenge. Fortunately Red Rock Crossing only yielded 11 pounds of trash. However, Clark's parking lot gave 12 lbs, The Element donated 25 pounds, and the 179/I-17 interchange contributed 70!
Teresa Lamparter, SRRHS Interact Advisor, spoke to us about their phenomenal club with 70 members! The students are lending helping hands all over Sedona! Our members contributed to their operational fund by either buying tickets to the West Sedona's Wildcat Carnival or just donating. Members opened their wallets and generously gave about $200!

Our meeting featured Rotary Foundation: Did Ya Know? with Mark, prepping us with important facts about END Polio NOW. The Rotary Foundation committed to eradicating Polio in 1988. Since then the number of cases of infection have been reduced by 99.9% through the vaccination of over 2 billion children in 122 countries. Unfortunately the wild polio virus is still present, with cases this year in the United States, the UK, Malawi, and Mozambique. Bill Gates is still matching our donations $2 for every $1. It's up to us as Rotarians to finish what we started.
The videos at the following links were shared with the club. Carolyn had her usual technology fail with her attempt to connect a speaker so that all could easily hear the audio. However, the videos were so riveting, you could hear a pin drop in the room. Even Mark was quiet! If you were unable to attend, please check out the following:
