  • President Ed read a thank you letter from Russell St. John thanking us for our contribution to the Boys and Girls Club.
  • Matt read a thank you letter from the Semper Fi organization for our contribution. This was Matt's special project as President.
  • Liz Langenbach and Bryant Powell brought an update on the Splash Pad Park in AJ.  It is located across from Best Hardware.  Our club has pledged $10,000.  They hope to raise a total of $50,000 from local service clubs. If you know anyone in other clubs, encourage them to support the Splash Pad. Supporting contributions have been donated by AZ Water, SRP, Resolution Copper and others. They are hoping for a completion date in December.

WE NEED YOU HERE NEXT WEEK!!
Posted by Robert Homann on Jul 27, 2016
Next week's program is a Club Assembly which is when club members gather to help shape the directions the club will take for 2016-17.  President Ed will present his goals for the year and several other Rotarians will do the same. There will be ample opportunity for questions and comments.  Please clear your schedule and come to this important meeting.
 
Rotary's expectation for attendance used to be 100% - if you missed a meeting of your local club you made up at a nearby club.  A couple of years ago, that attendance expectation was dropped to 50%.  Unfortunately, some members of our club almost never show up for meetings, even at a 50% expectation.  You get out of an organization what you put into it.  Rotary is a wonderful organization and our club is one of the local models for good organization, good leadership, good programs and fun fellowship.  We want engagement from every person who decides to become a Rotarian. Do a little introspection on why you don't come to meetings regularly and if it is because the club is not doing what you would like to see done or is doing things you don't like, bring that to the Club Assembly next week.
SPEAKERS NEEDED
Posted by Robert Homann on Jul 27, 2016
Do you know someone who would make an interesting speaker for our club?  If so, pass the name and contact information along to Harvey Clark. Is there a topic you would like to learn more about?  Pass that along to him too.  Our August list of speakers is empty so we need some ideas RIGHT AWAY.
SPEAKER
Posted by Robert Homann on Jul 27, 2016
Dr. Alex Foote went to BYU and then to chiropractic school.  He practiced in California and Utah before moving to Arizona 10 years ago. His office is in Apache Junction near the hospital on Southern Ave.  He has a niche practice focusing on pain relief involving the first cervical vertebra and the brain stem.  His technique he says is effective in treating chronic pain, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, neuropathy and other chronic problems.
 
Dr. Foote offers a free consultation test that will tell him in 7-8 minutes whether the technique will be helpful to you as a potential patient.  This is followed by 4 visits to develop a care plan (not free).  The plan usually lasts 3-4 months and involves 24-48 visits.  He is a Medicare provider.
