I'm hosting at my house (7721 E Vista Dr) on Monday October 5, 12, and 19 a member small group happy hour. Each "session" will be at 5:30pm and we'll talk about what's going on with our club and district while we enjoy beer, wine, munchies, and each other's company. If you haven't had the opportunity to sign up for one of these events it's not too late. Call or text me and come on over!
Its not too early to be thinking about your 2015 taxes as Steve Clasen reminded us a few weeks ago. You can support The Rotary Vocational Fund of Arizona in its effort to provide vocational education grants to deserving students AND GET A CREDIT TOWARD YOUR 2015 ARIZONA TAX LIABILITY. Your $200 individual or $400 per couple donation isn't a tax deduction - it will take either $200 or $400 directly off what you owe the state. It's a win - win situation! Please use this address (TRVFA, P.O.Box 14412, Scottsdale, AZ 85267) to contribute to this great cause that so many in our club support. You can also contribute via the website trvfa.org.
Lee, Jill, and Helene Dueringer are hosting this school year Rotary exchange student Maria Tagliaferro from Brazil. She is an accomplished dancer and is in the top group of four at Desert Mountain High School. She would like to go to the Arizona Ballet's presentation of “Coppelia” on Oct. 29, 30 or Nov. 1. If you would be willing to take her to one of these performances please contact Lee or me. She really wants to go!
Our speaker this week is Larry Gentry. His topic is "Alzheimer's Disease Update."
