Many club
members brought donations, including several boxes of books donated by our club
members at our holiday social.
On the night
we met in a spare room, the noise level from these enthusiastic youngsters was
quite as they participated in fun activities and homework help in these tight
quarters.
Meeting minutes:
1.
Father Frankline, a member of the Rotary
Community Corps of Kajuki, Kenya, was visiting our club. Father spoke a little
bit about the extreme poverty in this area of Kenya, and Judy Zone whose
nonprofit works with Father Frankline mentioned that a Rotary Grant supported
by five Utah clubs provided solar power, clean water, and science lab equipment
for a secondary school there.
2.
One of the teachers at the Sunnyvale Center
discussed needs, mentioning that perhaps some of the students might need winter
coats. Miriam Kramer will look into this, but in the meantime, the ‘needs list’
to get the Center up and running is a high priority.

5. President Laurie discussed member Gina Coleman's visit to Russia to meet her adopted daughter, 2 1/2 year old Evie. Gina may be able to bring Evie to Utah as soon as April. Keep Gina in your thoughts, and let's anticipate a club service project in helping Gina provide for Evie - a toddler shower may be in order as Gina is a single mom.
