MEETING HILIGHTS
February 23 Meeting
 
Our speaker was Myra Garcia, Executive Director of the Superstition Community Food Bank. Myra shared information about the Food Bank with the Club. She covered a lot of topics, including challenges, how the Covid pandemic, and now supply chain issues, have affected the food bank, as well as the changing/increasing cost of food. Also she touched on how, in some circumstances, the pandemic has changed the ability of populations being served to be able to come to the Food Bank to get needed food. To learn more about Superstition Community Food Bank and how you can help with their needs, visit https://superstitionfoodbank.org/ or https://www.facebook.com/foodbankaj/

February 9 Meeting
 
Jill Miller and Brenda Hunsaker represented Apache Junction Little League Programs, with Brenda sharing information about the programs. She spoke about the challenges and rewards of the program -- and how much the program helps young people in our community. Covid brought about additional challenges for the program -- but now the program is again growing as more students have joined. A goal of the program has been to keep the program as low cost as possible for young people to be able to participate and play the sport. Additional funding is needed to help support the program and various equipment needs.

February 2 Meeting
 
Our speaker was Kurt Cavano, owner of Four Peaks Amethyst Mine, located on private land in the Four Peaks Wilderness. Amethysts from the mine are known as 'Siberian Red Amethysts'. The stones have a red flash when viewed under natural light. The Ural Mountains in Russia is the only other place producing this color of amethyst. Kurt spoke about how the gems are formed in nature and he also brought amethysts which Club members were able to purchase. To read more about the Four Peaks Amethyst Mine visit, http://fourpeaksminingco.com/the-mine/
