2. Business Items:
a) Report by RYLA students Annelise and Jonathan – Margareta - Thanked members for sponsoring. It was a very eye-opening experience. Jonathan -his RYLA experience had a bigger impact than his humanitarian trips. They enjoyed meeting kids from different walks of life and means and was great to meet a lot of new kids and make new friends. Culture walk showed the different kind of situations and problems people were dealing with. Enjoyed the speakers. Held in Heber at an LDS camp. About 200 kids plus about 20 adults. Referral came through the district. Both are interested in continuing on the rotary track. Annelise hopes to get a club at Olympus next year.
b) Budget Update and Report from W2W – Frank – he will email his update to the club members. He was not able to make the meeting.
c) Service Project Update and Impact – Margareta - Gave a review of the project we have done so far. August, Ronald McDonald House, Dash for Donation, September, Wine Into Water, October, The Inn Between Fundraiser– (they raised over $20,000) thank you to service committee!
d) Report District Luncheon – Jayne, Laurie – Very well attended. Over 250 members attended, good mix of men and women, younger and older members from all over the state. Jennifer Jones was great! Panel was great! Awards and program ran a little too long.
e) Operation Santa, Dec 2nd – Jose Velasco, Midvale Rotary Club (Chris) - This project attracts people! Other clubs are trying to model a project of their own. Bridges the community, families are brought into the store just for them, approximately 110 kids from all over the valley, choose low income families who are in need and would otherwise go without. It is a time that the kids come into the Good Will Thrift Store and do the shopping for themselves and their family. Interaction with the police or firefighters is very special. Police officers are very sensitive to what is going on within the family and their situation. The budget of $5,000.00 goes a long way! Very humbling experience! Can donate cash plus whatever the club wants to donate. Jose also mentioned a Rotaract Club trip for next June to Mexico – email Jose for more details.
