Our official meeting start time has changed! Instead of 12:10 p.m., we will start as 12:00 p.m. 
Members collected suitcases and backpacks to assist Camelback Crossroads Rotary Club in the 'Cases for a Cause' service project. Arizona has about 16,000 children in its foster care system. Approximately 800 foster kids age out of the system each year when they turn 18. More kids also enter the foster system annually. Typically what has been occurring with these young people is they have to move their worldly possessions around in plastic garbage bags. Rotary Clubs across Arizona have taken up the cause to help provide foster kids with suitcases and backpacks to replace the garbage bags. Rotary Club of Camelback Crossroads President-Elect, Mariel Olsen stopped by the homes of Club members Jeff and Sabrina Mitchell, and Ed Shockley, where she picked up a mound of collected suitcases and backpacks from them. All the suitcases had additional suitcases and backpacks stuffed inside.
Club members participated in the October 9th 'Make a Difference' event in Apache Junction, along with other service clubs and businesses in the Apache Junction/Gold Canyon area. There were a variety of community projects which small groups of volunteers participated in.
