You may remember a month or so ago we had a Thursday morning program about Rotary sponsored micro lending in Mexico. Last Wednesday your board of directors recommended to the board of our club's foundation that $500.00 be donated to the microcredit program in Nogales. I am pleased to report that this recommendation was approved by the foundation's board. Micro lending in Nogales has a proven record of improving the lives of many individuals and families and has an excellent repayment rate. Information about tours to Mexico to see first hand our dollars at work can be found at rotarymicrocreditmexico.org.
Please place on your calendar our club's installation banquet scheduled for Thursday evening June 23 at 6:30pm at Pasta Brioni restaurant located near the corner of Miller and Camelback roads. We won't meet that morning and spouses/significant others are especially encouraged to attend. The cost is $50.00 per person and all members will be billed automatically. The menu choices will be distributed via email but your choice will not have to be made in advance.
Our club now has 41 members with the recent additions of Bill Bergdoll, Dave Smith, Erica Hickey, and James VanHeel. Welcome to Sunrise Rotary!
Our program this week is brought to us by Mik Milem, Advancement Director at the Arizona Burn Foundation.
See you Thursday morning and Let's Share Rotary!
