The club donated $500 to the 2019 Apache Junction Tree Planting project that was conducted, in partnership with the Arizona Sustainability Alliance, on October 26. About 100 volunteers planted trees and plants along Apache Trail and at Flatiron Park.
The club participated in Apache Junction Parks & Recreation Halloween Event. Children played games to get their Halloween treats. Thanks to Sharon Boyd for all her hard work in building the games, and to all who helped with setup, running the games and cleaning up afterward. The city shared a portion of the income with the club, which will be put to good use!

To a child who is now a member of the 'Bikers Against Child Abuse' family, the rumbling sound of a dozen motorcycles and the ground trembling beneath their feet is the sound of safety.
Pam Musler, AKA “Nytro” to her BACA family, spoke at our Superstition Mountain Rotary Club meeting on October 23rd about how BACA helps an abused child.
Two BACA members are assigned as the child’s primary contacts.They are committed to supporting the child in a variety of ways; accompanying a child to a court hearing, being there when in the presence of the abuser, hospital visits if there is physical harm to the child, supporting a child undergoing therapy, and more.
Go to their website to learn more about BACA or donate - https://bacaworld.org/

Despite our probing questions, magician and motivational speaker Jeff Scanlan did not reveal the magic of putting a deck of cards in a bottle.
To accomplish this feat, Jeff gave us his not so secret advice. Don't quit too soon, and never give up trying. And Jeff’s real message is to follow that advice in everything we do in our lives to achieve success beyond our dreams. The only reason to quit is when it begins to affect our time or our finances.

Our speaker was Karen Perry, founder of '3 Wing of Life', with an update of her work with equine assisted therapy. In the memory of her three children, who were lost in a tragic plane crash in 2011, Karen has dedicated her work to helping children from age 5 to 17 with emotional and behavioral issues, as well as to veterans. Her organization offers cognitive equine assisted therapy, which is a non riding program conducted with a mental health care professional and an equine specialist. '3 Wings of Life' is a 501 (c) (3) organization, relying solely on donations, and is an eagala certified facility ( www.eagala.org ). They have a desperate need for mental health professionals to help with therapy.
