Saturday, February 8, volunteers from Mesa West Rotary, Westwood HS Interact and Benedictine University Rotaract were joined by our recent speakers, Miss Arizona and Miss Ahwatukee at Sleep in Heavenly Peace to participate in the first "girl power," women-only, bed build project.  The motto of SIHP is "No kid sleeps on the floor in my town."  
 
Tuesday, February 11, Westwood High School Interact students were joined by Mesa West Rotarians to prepare for the Glamour Gala - Senior Prom - to be held the next day.
 
 
The fruits of their labor were enjoyed by the senior citizens who attended, and it looks like the volunteers who showed up to ensure the event went well had time to have some fun, as well.  Some mothers of Interact students showed up to help, and enthusiastically support making this an annual affair!
Opening and Welcome - President Jay Paulus
 
  • Marilyn Klingler led the Pledge of Allegiance
  • Dick Myren offered the Invocation
President Jay invited Shelly Romine to come forward to say a few words since this would be her last meeting before moving to the State of Washington.
 
Shelly said that she has loved being a member of Mesa West Rotary, saying our club is very special.  She anticipates coming back to visit, and will definitely stay in touch.  She plans to follow us in Facebook.  As our Community Service Chair, she worked right up to the last minute coordinating the Mesa West volunteer crew for  the Girl Power SIHP Bed Build February 8.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ed Koeneman encouraged members to help decorate on Feb 11 for the February 12 Senior Prom - Glamour Gala, and/or attend the event and help chaperone the prom and clean up afterward.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
John Pennypacker was very happy to present Joan Reimann with her Paul Harris Fellow Plus 7 Recognition Pin.  She said she didn't remember how much she'd given. 
 
John went on to say he had been on a zoom call regarding The Rotary Foundation.  They have a goal of having $2,025,000 in committed bequests by the year 2025.  Of the money that has been received in bequests, only the interest earned is used for RI projects.  He said there were simple instructions on the tables telling how to make a bequest, or regular donation.  On that same call, he also learned that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has renewed their commitment to match dollars donated to Polio Plus $2 for $1.  
 
 
 
Introduction of Guests
 
  • Visiting Rotarian Penny May was visiting from Anchorage, Alaska.
  • Melodie Jackson introduced her long-time friend Carrie Noonan.
  • Harry Grossman introduced his guest and potential member Donna Knopf.
  • Blaise Vitale, a visiting Rotarian from Grantsburg, Wisconsin introduced himself.
  • Alisha and Aaron Hammond were guests invited by Andy Bradford.  They are interested in learning more about Rotary and possibly being a part of the Satellite Club Andy is working on helping form in the Gateway Airport vicinity.  There is a lot of promise with all the businesses that are settling into that area as well as the residential communities surrounding it.
Ace of Clubs Raffle - Chuck Flint
 
 
After explaining how the raffle works, Chuck asked Exavier King to draw the winning ticket, which was held by John Benedict and his buds.  After the weekly winnings of $55 were delivered, John shuffled the cards, then tried to draw the Ace of Clubs hoping to win the large pot which was up to $700.  Sadly (for John) the card he drew was the 7 of Diamonds.
 
Happy Bucks - Sgt At Arms - Andy Bradford
 
  • John Pennypacker contributed $10 saying he was wearing the theme tie from the 2006-07 Rotary Year when Bill Boyd from Australia was the Rotary International President.  John said Bill Boyd had passed away January 22 at the age of 91.  John had the pleasure of serving as his Aide at a Rotary event in Santa Barbara.
  • Allan Cady who was attending via Zoom asked to be billed for a $10 pledge.  He was proud of the wonderful RLI presence of Mesa West Rotary at the January 25 session of Rotary Leadership Institute.  Polly also pledged $5.  She was proud of our recent Mesa West RLI grads - Dick Myren and Melodie Jackson.
  • Don LaBarge was happy to report that he is still receiving donations to add to our Salvation Army kettle income for this year.  He received another $40 this week.
  • Dick Myren contributed his traditional $2 for having the privilege along with Honorary Member Rod Daniels of being associated with the Ace of Clubs.  He was glad he finally arrived at the Museum for the meeting the prior week. 
  • Jack Rosenberg contributed saying he would be rooting for the Eagles during the Superbowl on Sunday.
  • Ed Koeneman was thankful for the tech crew, and happy for Marilyn Klingler's help with Interact.  Ed was also happy to know his son was okay.  Two of the sergeants in his unit were involved in a rollover accident.
  • Penny May recently traveled to her "happy place," Rarotonga.  She went home to Alaska just long enough to wash her clothes and repack before traveling to Arizona.  While in Rarotonga, she attended a Rotary meeting and learned that suicide by hanging is a problem.  One of the problems is that the population is small - only about 8,000, so there is no anonymity.  Everyone is related - a common term is "cuzzybro".  They are looking for solutions to helping those who are troubled to have a safe place to turn.
  • Colleen had State 48 shirts which she promised Dan she would help him sell.  There are several different designs.  Members held them up for all to see.  There is a separate article in this newsletter telling how to buy them.
  • Erica Williams told about an idea she had that was implemented.  A 30' inflatable ear canal tunnel educates those who pass through it about the ear.
  • Harry Grossman donated $1 for complying with a request to be on good behavior.
  • Jim Schmidt pledged $10 for the Mesa West Rotary Foundation to thank Pam and Lucinda for helping him host a district event for his incoming Presidents.
  • Ted Williams said that the Museum we visited on January 30 was where he attended 1st through 5th grade.  When he was in 6th grade, he attended the Junior High.  Clarence Giles was the principal.  He wondered if anyone else's elementary school was now a museum.
  • Blaise Vitale said he would be rooting for the Chiefs.  One of their players was from his little town in Wisconsin.
  • Mike Lutcher thanked the club for the kettle workers.  He was one of the few units which met its kettle goal.  They also gathered $220,000 worth of toys.
  • Pam Cohen pledged $100 for Polio Plus to honor Shelly Romine's tenure with our club.
  • Andy Bradford contributed $21.  His daughter was going for her "five-month" appointment.  He is on his way to being a grandpa.
  • Jay Paulus was looking forward to a great game Sunday.
  • Warren Williamson told a story about his school days.  In his sophomore year of high school, he took his required one-year of Latin.  They leased their books from the school and returned them at the end of the year.  Sometimes previous students left notes in the books.  The book he had contained this lament:  Latin is a dead language. It's as dead as it can be. First it killed the Romans And now it's killing me.
Program - The Guaymas Hearing Project - Erica Williams and Lizzy Barron
 
 
Erica has been involved with the project for eleven years or so.  Bob Jensen, who started the project before becoming a Rotarian, is actually moving toward actually retiring from the project.
 
Lizzy Barron participated for the first time in the project this past fall.  She is already working with Erica to share ideas about how to modernize some of the processes and improve volunteer training and workflow.
 
Up to now all the charts are paper charts, and sometimes they are not readily available when needed.  Moving to electronic records would streamline some of the processes.  The time spent travelling by bus to the project could be utilized for learning about the tasks the volunteers will be responsible for. 
 
A third hearing booth has been donated.  It will be a logistical challenge to get it to the school and installed.
 
Erica's day job is Directing a hearing clinic at ASU and as a Doctor in the associated education program.  Looking at how to improve our program is her "jam" right now.  Ideally, there could be multiple triage stations.  There has always been a lot of waiting.  Finding ways to engage the children who are waiting productively is a challenge.  
 
Lizzy is in charge of business operations at Thunderbird School of International Management.  She is focused on how to make our project sustainable.  She observed a lot of eagerness from the Guaymas club which is rebuilding.  They used to be all men.  Now there are more women than men.  She observed a lot of potential synergy through partnering with them.  A pre-meeting would help.  Providing training ahead of the actual clinic.
 
She was touched by the emotional aspect.  She observed many with tears in their eyes when they would hear something for the first time or they would observe their child when they first heard sounds that are familiar to those of us who hear well.  She has an emotional tie - Guaymas is her mother's home town.
 
Old hearing aids can be donated.  If they are too old, they can be turned in for salvage credit.  The club might want to do a hearing aid drive.
 
In the triage process, patient history is a time consuming process for the doctors from Mexico.  They thought perhaps Frank Rosenberg could be moved to triage duties next year.
 
Custom ear molds are made on site.  That was a surprise for President Jay when he was there.  Some of the Guaymas Rotarians may be at our February 20 meeting.
 
We have developed a relationship with Mesa Sister Cities.  Some of their members went down.  Lizzy's language skills were very helpful.  There are possibilities of other joint projects.
 
Establishing a consistent presence and common practices will help non-medical volunteers serve as runners.  
 
Sustainability involves trying to have continued care for patients who need it.  There is a non-surgical alternative to Cochlear implants where the device can be installed in a headband to be worn by the young patients. 
 
Lizzy said she gives a lot of credit to Erica.  She observed her pass on information in Spanish to local volunteers and was able to do so very effectively.  She does a fantastic job.  
 
Pam noticed when she participated in the past that sign language is not universal.
 
Jay had a gift for each of our speakers.  He said Dale Gray is working on a global grant to help get the newly donated hearing booth installed.   He also praised Lizzy for stepping up in a big way.  She has also agreed to be a club representative on the Microcredit project.
 
Jay reminded members that the Club Leadership Academy is coming up March 8.  Members who register and attend can have a credit for their registration fee on their April 1 dues invoice.
 
 
Our Mesa West Rotary 5th Thursday excursion took participating members and a couple of visiting Rotarians to the Misa Historical Museum on January 30.
 
President Jay spoke briefly about what a good time everyone had at the Post Holiday Celebration held January 25.  More than one person said they'd never seen so much food!  He also announced that the Savannah Bananas (the baseball equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters) would be visiting Sloan Park in Mesa, soon.
 
Members were urged to sign up for the Rotary Day at the Park March 21.
 
March 27, Mesa West is partnering with ASU to host Ignite Innovation - a competition where young entrepreneurs will compete to be awarded some grant funding for their business venture.  Toni Thompson has agreed to be one of the judges.  See more information in a separate article in this newsletter.
 
Ed Koeneman said volunteers are still needed to help with chaperoning and clean-up for the Senior Prom - Glamour Gala to take place February 12.  More information is available in a separate article in this newsletter.
 
Connie Bunyard announced that Mesa Leadership will be hosting a Casino Night and urged members to watch for news about this opportunity.
 
Gaby Cutlip said she had not fully understood the opportunity to make friends from all over the world which being a Rotarian provides.  She said she had been at an auto auction recently where she met a Rotarian from Canada who embraced her.  They exchanged numbers, and will stay connected.  She was surprised at how easy it was to connect just because they were both Rotarians!
 
It was a good thing that our President answered his phone during the meeting.  The caller was Dick Myren who was not having any luck finding the museum.  He arrived shortly thereafter.
 
President Jay introduced the Executive Director of the Museum, Susan Ricci.  She apologized for her appearance, she was dressed casually because they were having a used book sale outside.  They are in the middle of a capital campaign.  They want to renovate the auditorium of the old Lehi school building, so it can be used affordably by groups needing a large venue for some of their events.  When the initial phase of the renovation took place, which involved removal of asbestos, it was discovered that the main truss was fractured.  The cost to remedy that problem was $64,000. 
 
Because of the impact that baseball has had for many years on the Mesa economy, they are adding a baseball presence to the museum.  Memorial bricks are being sold to help fund that project.  President Jay was able to present a Mesa West Rotary Foundation contribution of $500 so we can have our club name and logo on a brick in the courtyard.  Individual donors can also have their names or the names of a loved on placed on a brick.
 
 
 
Dil Brinton Jr, from Mesa Rotary Club provided some interesting historical information, and was kind enough to share his notes:
 
Welcome to the Mesa Historical Society and Museum.  I am Dilworth Brinton Jr, Mesa’s second best historian.  Gerry Paulus has ask me to fill a few minutes while you finish eating.  
The Mesa Historical Society was founded in the mid 1960’s by Dilworth C. Brinton and Mitz Zipf.  Dilworth was the Citizen of the year in 1954 and he was President of the Mesa Rotary Club in 1956-1957.  Mitz and her husband Walter owned the Sun Valley Spur, a weekly newspaper and advertising paper.  It was mostly full of local Mesa articles and advertising until it was purchased by the Mesa Tribune.  
 
In the mid 1960’s several people felt that Mesa should have a group (historical society) to start recording, both in writing and with photographs and film for the important events in Mesa.  In 1976 after the city constructed a new city hall, the old city hall was turned into a museum.  Trey Mead was the city employee hired as historian and keeper of records.  He was helped for some years by volunteers from the Mesa Historical Society.  He was also helped with the Mesa Archological Society.  There were mostly in the materials found in Mesa from the Ho Ho Kam Indians that lived here from about 50 b.c. to about 1200 to 1400 a.d.  It was headed by an archologist who was a city employee.  Eventually the city pushed the Historical Society out and turned the old city hall over to the archologist who expanded the space to include Indian things other than Mesa history.  With no home and only a promise from the city the Historical society struggled on.  The Crismon family took the museum under their support.  Virgil and his son Charlie were mostly responsible for the museum and society to continue.  (Virgil and Charlie were both Rotarians.) 

Lehi was founded the year before Mesa in 1876 by a group of LDS pioneers headed by Daniel W. Jones and Henry C. Rogers.  This corner was donated to the community by Henry C. Rogers for the ‘educational purposes of a school.’  There was an adobe and brush bower for the first school.  This was twice washed away by the Salt River in floods.  In 1913 a brick building was constructed (at the north of the complex) and the building, constructed in 1917, is now the museum entrance.  In 1932 the auditorium and additional class rooms were constructed.  In 1976, as a Bicentennial project a replica of the first adobe school, built in Mesa, was constructed in front of the old city hall (now a museum).  When the Natural History was expanded in 1991 (and the Historical Society pushed out) the adobe building was torn down by the city.  
 
The museum was homeless several years until they were allowed to move into the Lehi school building by the city.  The public school had a school on this site.  They wanted to expand and modernize the school.  Since some of the building was ‘historic’ they could not tear it down.  They also discovered that they did not own the land under their buildings.  They managed to get the city of Mesa to trade the school (and land they didn’t own) for some empty land.  The school district built a new school on the land.  They city decided that they would sell the land, but discovered the problem with the title.  They came to me to help them trace and track ‘down the decedents of Henry C. Rogers to get permission to change the title so it could be sold.
The end of the story is that they couldn’t.  So they owned a building and permission to have a school but not the land.  They rented out the ‘back lot’ to a charter school and moved the museum into the old buildings.  But the Museum had to keep the buildings up.  (This has turned out to be a bit of a white elephant.)
 
In 2001 the adobe schoolhouse was reconstructed in front of the current museum building in Lehi.  They got enough money to hire an permanent staff and expand the museum.  Recently they decided to start a spring training baseball museum.  Unfortunately when they started (re)construction they found that one of the main beams in the auditorium had to be replaced.
This raised the cost of the repair and reconstruction.  (see white elephant)

Currently the museum is trying to raise the balance of the money then need (about $150,000).  They are willing to accept donations.  They also are selling bricks for the front area at the museum.  On your table is the handout for purchasing bricks.  You can be remembered (or your family remembered) or have the name of your business by purchasing a brick. 
 
Mesa West Rotary Club's volunteer service vests were very visible the evening of November 8 after the Gift of Hearing 2023 volunteers arrived at their destination and were enjoying an evening meal.
 
After returning to Arizona Sunday, Erica Williams expressed appreciation for all the volunteer hours invested in this year's mission.  She reported 232 patients were served, again making an impact for the hearing health of the Guaymas community.  True to the Rotary Service above Self motto, Rodolfo will continue to travel back a few times during the year for mini clinics to help meet needs until next November.  She said they have been training the Mexican doctors on some of the more advanced testing needs as well to bring back to their community.  
 
Erica said they are targeting the same week/weekend for 2024, with more information to follow in the future.  CLICK HERE for a link to an article Bob Jensen came across to reflect about why the team does what they do.
 
If you haven't already seen the reel about the project that was posted on our club's Facebook page, CLICK HERE or on the image  to view it.  
 
 
As most of you know, Arizona has a very unique state tax credit program.  If you pay taxes to the state of Arizona, you can specify where your tax dollars go (state taxes only).  These instructions are for your reference only.  Please consult a tax prep professional with any specific questions about state tax credits.

There are many different nonprofit organizations that AZ recognizes as authorized recipients of these tax funds.  Mesa West sponsors the Interact Club at Westwood High School, and they are a qualified recipient of these tax credit funds in the Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) category.  Here's how you can donate up to $200 as an individual or $400 as a couple filing jointly and deduct that amount from your state tax burden.

Go to https://westwood.mpsaz.org/page/eca/ and click on the link to pay on the district's website. 
Or go straight to https://mpsaz.sites.thrillshare.com/o/mpsaz/page/pay-donate  in lower right, click on Pay Online


If you have children currently enrolled in Mesa Public Schools, you can use your existing login information.  Otherwise, it's easy to setup a guest account.

Once you are logged in, select 'Items At All Schools' under the 'Shop/Donate' list on the Home page.

On the next page select 'High Schools', then select 'Westwood High'

Select the link for 'ECA Tax Credit', and then 'Programs G-K' on the following page.

Interact - ECA is under code 8646.  Enter a dollar amount in the box, and click the Add button.  That dollar amount should then appear in your cart (highlighted in green at the top of the page).

You can then proceed to the Checkout process and pay with a credit card.  You will receive a receipt that you can print out and save for when you do your taxes.

Thank you for supporting Westwood Interact and all of our youth programs.
As Rotarians, we are regularly exposed to opportunities to support various causes with our time, talent and treasure.  Sometimes it is hard to sift through all the information and decide where we are going to use our available financial resources. 
 
It would be wonderful if every Arizona Rotarian would make the following BIG FOUR their Rotary charities of choice and support every one of them every year, we could make a bigger difference than we are making today.
  1. The Rotary Foundation (TRF) Annual Fund - The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world."  Giving a small amount each month adds up.  CLICK HERE to download a form you can use to sign up for Rotary Direct, electing "Annual Fund - Share" for your recurring donation.  
  2. The Rotary Foundation (TRF) Polio Plus - Rotary's commitment to eradicate polio is so well known and respected that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation matches donations $2 for $1.  To take advantage of this opportunity to multiply the effect of your giving, CLICK HERE and download a second Rotary Direct form, this time electing electing "Polio Eradication" for your recurring donations.  Those who donate $100 or more annually to Polio Plus qualify in District 5495 as Polio Plus Society Members.  If you would like to make that commitment, CLICK HERE to download the commitment form.
  3. The Rotary Vocational Fund of Arizona (TRVFA) provides vocational education grants to Arizona Residents who meet specific low-income guidelines.   The grants enable the recipients to lift themselves out of poverty, benefitting themselves, their families and the economy of our state.  TRVFA is a 501(c)(3) charity.  They also are a Qualifying Charitable Organization for Arizona Tax Credit Donations.  Their QCO Code is 20698.  Many Arizona Rotarians say giving to TRVFA is a "no brainer."  If you can help someone lift themselves out of poverty and it won't end up costing you anything why would you not do it?  Mesa West Rotary has the highest number of members who have signed up for automated monthly recurring donations by electing that option on the "Donate Now" button on the TRVFA website.  Click the image to learn more or CLICK HERE to DONATE NOW.  
  4. Mesa West Rotary Foundation, Inc. is the funding and fundraising arm of our own Mesa West Rotary Club.  It is a 501(c)(3) charity.  We have had successful sponsorship campaigns the last few years enabling us to spend our energy on service rather than on holding fundraising events.  Charitable grants that we get involved with are funded through our charitable foundation, Our signature Gift of Hearing Project in Guaymas Mexico is funded through this foundation.  Scholarships are awarded annually to Westwood High School Students (the high school where Mesa West Rotary sponsors an Interact Club).  Funds are used to support a variety of activities in four of the Rotary Avenues of Service:
    1. Community Service
    2. International Service 
    3. Vocational Service
    4. Youth Service
The process isn't quite automated at this point in time, but we hope it soon will be.  For now, you can email our executive secretary who can help you work out a recurring donation plan should you wish to make that arrangement to support our own club's charitable activity.
