A $1,000 contribution to The Rotary Foundation pays for the materials needed to build a deep bore well in India that will supply clean drinking water to more than 300 people. It provides materials to treat and prevent parasites and anemia in children in Brazil or pays for a tree nursery in Jamaica that will help 700 farmers increase their income. It can provide a cow and animal husbandry training to a woman in Uganda, where children often don't get enough protein and calcium. It can pay for the polio vaccine for 2,000 children in Nigeria or provide $50 microloans that allow 20 women in Nicaragua to start businesses.
Can you commit to donating $1,000 per year to The Rotary Foundation to change people's lives?
President-Elect Connie Bunyard opened the meeting, Warren Williamson led the Pledge of Allegiance, and Dick Myren gave an invocation. Dick then announced that the May Rotarian of the Month was John Pennypacker.
Guests today included potential new member Christian Wall, Jasmine xx, Susan Might, Amyla and Bridget Buckhannon, Anise, Maria and Patrick Carrol Covarrubias, Sariah Grovom, and Josh.
Today’s raffle was won by Lola McClaine. She did not draw the Ace of Clubs, so the large pot carries over.

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.
