There is no lunch meeting this week since it is a 5th Thursday. Instead, you can socialize at the Valley Remodeling Harvest Social. Contact President Connie for details.
Several MRWC members attended Aster Aging's annual fundraiser breakfast last Thursday. Additionally, MRWC members met up at the First United Methodist Church of Mesa to make bed rolls for people experiencing homelessness.
President Elect Andy Bradford, John Pennypacker led the pledge, and John Bunyard led the club in reciting the Four-Way Test. Pam Cohen won today’s raffle. However, she did not draw the Ace of Clubs, so the large pot carries over. Then, Happy Bucks were collected.
Today’s speaker was Jacob Newman, from Aster Aging in Mesa. To continue, click the blue "Read More" to the right below!!
On Thursday Sept 24, Mesa West and Westwood Interact club members met up at the Mesa Salvation Army location to pack 200 Jarod's Boxes for hospitalized children. The Jared Box Project is an organization that hands out plastic shoe-sized storage boxes filled with small gifts, toys, games, and fun activities for children in the hospital.
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.

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.

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 Mesa West 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.
