Polly Cady - I have a renewed relationship with my vacuum cleaner. It’s not intimate but there is a lot of contact. I’ve been very spoiled. I couldn’t remember which was supposed to be first: dusting or vacuuming. I had to Google it!Warren Williamson - I overheard two thoughts on our isolation routine:
1. It's better to be 6 feet apart than 6 feet under.
2. It's just like it was in high school -- gas is cheap and I'm grounded.

Chris Krueger - A co-worker of mine has a son in Denver. There was a fire in his condo, and he didn’t make it. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
Lola McClane - On Thursday the 9th, my daughter who lives here defended her thesis and has now officially earned her doctorate. Sadly, there will be no ceremony, but we’re still gratefully happy!
John Pennypacker - I was just thinking how happy we would all be if our club giving to The Rotary Foundation (TRF) was just a bit more. Right now, with only 50% of our members having made a donation to TRF, Mesa West is the 4th highest giving club per capita in our District 5495. It is not a contest, but I wonder where we would rank if ALL our members gave some.
There are 16 clubs wherein all members have made a donation. There are 16 more clubs with greater than 50% of members having given.
As the "Ace of Clubs” I cannot envision us being in the bottom half of clubs in our district in giving to TRF.
Ed Koeneman - Only one more week of classes! My first graduating class is doing fine, as are all the rest of my students.
Jeanie Morgan – I am very thankful for all the Mesa West members and bulletin subscribers who have responded to my requests to submit information to be published in the Messenger. It has helped me feel connected while in isolation!
Jim Schmidt – It is April 15, and tax-day is still three months away.
Daryl Pai Bethea -
Last evening sat out front of the house and enjoyed, at a safe distance, neighbors passing by with warm hellos and "How ya doin".What a blessing to live here and feel loved!
Alan Cady - Why am I so happy? Let me explain. First of all, I have a wonderful wife of 23 years. She is my love, my companion, my friend and sometimes my critic. She is my everything! The life we enjoy together is simply put, the BEST, particularly since we both retired. I have three grown sons, three special daughters-in-law, eight grandchildren and three step grandchildren. How can it get better than that? Then we come to ROTARY. It’s a special club that we have at Mesa West Rotary. Friends one and friends all! Our members are fun, engaged, enthusiastic and very giving. I enjoy our time together and look forward to every occasion. So to repeat, I’m happy! Allan
