For those veterans who survived the December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, a very special interment is available. John Pennypacker thought this little-known way of honoring those special individuals might resonate with many Mesa West Members as we approach Memorial Day. Click on the image to watch the ETERNAL PEACE video which was produced by Aditi Desai, a student at American University.
Plan to attend the installation to be held at the home of Don LaBarge. Festivities will begin at 6:00. For details, click on the image to download the event flyer.
We have in inbound young man from Ecuador who will be arriving in August.
He will be attending Campo Verde High School in Gilbert on Germann Road near Lindsay Road. We currently have two home hosts, Frank Rosenberg and Dan Coons, for the student but three is the magic number for the best experience. So here is your opportunity:
You’re accepting a teenage boy into your home and treating him as your own child for 3 months.
You’re making sure he gets to and from school everyday as well as any after or before school activities.
You will have to complete some paperwork and be approved by the District Youth Committee and the U.S. State Department.
Yes, this takes some energy and effort...BUT the rewards are enormous!
You get to build a lifelong relationship with a student and maybe his family from a different part of the world.
You get to see first hand the activities all of the exchange students are doing and participate if you like.
You get the great feeling of being an ambassador for our club, our state and our country.
If you have a trip or event planned that wouldn’t be conducive to having an exchange student you have Frank and Dan to back you up.
If interested please call Dan Coons at 480-216-7836. You won’t want to miss out on the fun!

Business networking is something President Allan Cady is passionate about. He has asked Jeanie Morgan to work on putting together a business directory of our members. We will be able to have the directory available as a download on our website, but since we will be adding new members regularly, it will be maintained electronically so it will be current at all times. The photo shown is a reduced size sample of what each person's listing might look like. To do this so it is a quality product, Jeanie will need digital images of your business card as well as a close-up, current photo. CLICK HERE to send yours to her.
Many members have commented on how much they have enjoyed this series. We have now finished publishing profiles of all the leadership team. It is time to move on to the general membership. To keep the profiles somewhat consistent, we have had everyone respond to the same questions. If you would be willing to let your fellow members know a little more about you, please CLICK HERE to download the list of questions.
You can send your answers to JEANIE MORGAN along with a head and shoulders photo of yourself. Selfies from smart phones work and can be texted to 928 486 4328. Please provide your name when texting so she can add you to her contact list.
If she receives multiple profiles, she will publish them in the order received. If she receives these at the same meeting, she will publish them in the order of time in Rotary - longest to shortest.
This article will reappear in the Messenger anytime there is not a waiting list of profiles to be published.
