It's Not Too Late

Today was our annual club fundraiser at Top Golf.  Thanks to everyone who participated by attending, donating a gift basic or money or purchasing raffle tickets.  We had a great time and stay tuned to hear more from Doug about the results of the event.  In the meantime, there is still time for you to help.  The auction raffle ticket sales remain open until 3:00 pm, Sunday October 27.  If you haven't had a chance to participate I encourage you to check out the auction catalog.  The website can be seen here.  5th Annual Top Golf Drive Fore Charity, or take out your phone, open the camera and hover over this QR code.  See photos below.  Team Holly.  Team Taylor Martin (& Julie Strom) and Team Agua Fria.
 
         
                                

Friday Night Meal Pack for Feed My Starving Children

That's right, on Friday, a dozen of Verrado Rotary's finest and their friends and family helped other volunteers to pack a total of 27,000 meals especially designed for malnurished and starving children.  This effort was held at Summit Church and continues all weekend.  If you want to participate your are welcome to show up at Summit anytime tomorrow.  This was a great event. We had fun. We helped do good and we met a lot of great people. We were in and out in 2 hours. If you haven't participated in a community service project lately, I encourage you to consider it.  You will enjoy it more than you know.  Pictured below. Linda Adamski, Dr Dave, Pres. Holly and Julie Strom. In the back, in blue is Lloyd.  Also there, but not pictured were Robin and her granddaughter Gracelyn, Doug Bredow, Mike Nott.
 
   
 

Last Week

I almost forget.  We also had a meeting last week.  Ty Doolittle, Founder of Serving First Responders and pending new member told us about his organization and how they assist public safety retirees in making the transition to retirement.  
We also enjoyed looking at club committee opportunities and visiting, followed by an entertaining Happy Bucks time, brought to us by our own Sgt-at-Arms, Ed Williams.
