I have more great news about our increasing membership! James VanHeel and Erica Hickey are our two newest members. They join Bill Bergdoll and Dave Smith who were inducted into our club last week.
A Minnesota native, James was born on June 2, 1971 and resides at 8610 W Malapai Dr. in Peoria. He is the manager at Messinger Mortuary on Pinnacle Peak Road and he is single. His interests are dining, weight lifting, travel, and hockey.
Erica was born on 8/31/1983 and resides at 8444 E San Miguel Ave. in Scottsdale with her husband Ryan and their two children. She is a funeral director at Messinger Mortuary Pinnacle Peak. Her hobbies and interests include scuba diving, travel, family, and crafts.
I know you join me in extending a hearty welcome to Sunrise Rotary to James and Erica. We'll formally induct them into club membership soon.
Please consider volunteering to help revise our golf fund raiser tournament brochure and to begin planning for next year's event. If you can help and/or have new and exciting ideas about improving this our club's fund raising activity please stay after this Thursday's meeting to meet with Neil Sutton.
This week's program is brought to us by our friend Jim Bissonett and he'll talk about the Rotary International Foundation.
