       Last Week at Rotary

Owners of Downtown Buckeye Business

Screws and Sparkles

Speak at Rotary

 
 
Sophia and J R Martinez, owners of Screws and Sparkles were introduced by Todd Halberg.  J R recently joined Sophia in the business, a venture she started in her home a number of years ago.  The concept came to Sophia when she was trying to run a business while taking care of children while J R was busy working construction.  The primary hurdle to success was having a place to sell the merchandise, where she didn't have to be there full time or share a large share of the fruits of her labors.  After experiencing some of the typical fits and starts of being an entrepreneur, Sophia realized her dream of having a place of her own.  From that modest beginning Screws and Sprinkles has grown to the point it now occupies 9,000 square feet in a downtown Buckeye building and has a waiting list of vendors.  J R and Sophia represent the greatness of the American spirit of individual and economic freedom.  They saw something others hadn't seen and never lost sight of that vision.

Past Presidents' Advisory Council Meets

The Past Presidents' Advisory Council includes the President, President Elect and all past Presidents of the Club.  The PPAC's purpose is to insure continuity of leadership, maintenance of club history and to offer current and future presidents the benefit of the knowledge and experience of past leaders.  The PPAC met on July 20.  We discussed the planning for a future club visit to the Hickman Farms operation, the process of nominating and electing club officers for the 2023/2024 Rotary year and planning for a November 8 program to commemorate Veterans' Day 2022.   The next meeting will be August 17.  Anyone is welcome to attend.  Contact President Mike for details.
