Wine into Water Update

We briefly discussed alternative dates and locations, due to numerous members unavailability for our original date.  We will continue to discuss next week at Stephanie's.

Judy is looking for someone to chair the Silent Auction.  Also, everyone should start thinking about what item you can donate for the silent auction (we are going to keep it small at 20 quality items). 

Presentation by Francisco Soto – Hispano-Latino Rotary Club

Francisco gave a wonderful presentation on their ongoing project "Casa Hogar La Paz," a home for elderly residents of Guanajuato, Mexico.  Our club is interested in helping by collecting monetary or in-kind donations (bedding, canes, adult diapers, dishes, hygiene kits, etc).  A proposal to our club was made to join the Hispano-Latino Club in a trip to this area of Mexico to visit Casa Hogar La Paz!  Sounds like a great opportunity!

June service project: Purge the Spurge

Hi Millcreek Rotarians:

 

For those of you that expressed interest in some habitat restoration in the Dry Creek area this Sunday, June 8, here are the details:

We will meet between 8 and 8:30 am just above the JCC parking lot (N Medical Drive). Frank is bringing coffee to get us jump-started!

Please be sure to bring gloves and wear long sleeves to protect yourself. You should also bring a digging implement (successful plant removal requires getting 4 inches of root). I will bring bags for plant disposal. 

At 8:30, we will hike up Dry Creek (not to the top) and work our way back down. We plan to finish by 10:30 am. If you have questions or have trouble finding us, please give me a call at 801 573-5387. Look forward to seeing you!

Best,

Andrea White
