Mesa West Rotary proudly showed up in support of the AZ250 Traveling Museum at the Red Mountain Library, celebrating Arizona’s rich history and Rotary’s commitment to being a strong community partner in the AZ250 initiative.
President-Elect Connie Bunyard, along with Eric Silverberg, Machal Constadine, Colleen Coons, and Melody Jackson, staffed the Mesa West Rotary booth with energy, fellowship, and a welcoming Rotary spirit. Thanks to PE Connie’s creative vision, our booth featured a branded photo experience that quickly became a highlight of the event. Community members were excited to stop, take pictures, and learn more about who we are and how we serve.
The results speak for themselves:
29 guests received personal follow-up emails with their photos attached
10 people signed up to receive the Mesa West Rotary newsletter
A membership conversation is already scheduled over lunch
This is what meaningful engagement looks like—turning conversations into connections and connections into future Rotarians and friends of Rotary.
Our presence at the AZ250 Traveling Museum reflects how Mesa West Rotary is actively supporting the statewide celebration and partnering with the City of Mesa and Mesa Public Library to bring history, service, and community together. It was a perfect opportunity to share Rotary’s story, invite others into our impact, and demonstrate that Rotary is an essential part of Arizona’s future as well as its legacy.
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped make the day such a success. Because of your teamwork, creativity, and follow-through, Mesa West Rotary’s visibility and momentum in the community continue to grow.
People of Action—supporting AZ250, building connections, and creating the future together.
