This is old news but we had a tremendously successful Heritage Dinner.Image

Reminders December 5 board meeting, December 6 boxing for troops, December 10 Christmas party at John Zwick’s place of business.

 

Last week speaker was Clint Kuntz, chief executive officer, of MHC Healthcare of Marana.

They offer continuous health care to everyone regardless of economic status.  They receive a federal grant to serve the underserved.  They take care of all.  They have a wide range of services for the Marana area. 

 

ImageOur speaker was the Rotarian 2013 Student of the Year Elijah Barnett.  If he is an example of our future kids going into the real world we have nothing to worry about.

 

He is President of Key Club and has achieved numerous community projects.  He is a National Honor Society student.  He plans on attending Stanford and becoming a pediatric doctor.

We wish him well in all of his endeavors.

 

 

 

After the meeting Jo Holt, Kathleen Debiak, and myself joined Dan Contorno in passing out dictionaries to Estes Elementary School and Roadrunner Elementary School.  It is always fun to participate in this program.

 

The Rotary Club of Marana and the Interact Club of Tortolita worked the El Tour de Tucson Tangerine aide station on Saturday, November 23, 2013.  Kathrine Neighbors Tortolita Middle School Teacher brought the Interact students: Nico Ketcham, Chance Patterson, Tony Breuer, James Cash and Cole Miller.  The Rotarians and family at the event were:  Debbie and Geary Conover and their son Jay Graham, John Zwick, Harold Burtzloff, Jane Howell, Alice Rigney and her friend Teri, Dan and Heather Contorno, and Deb Hume and our Youth Exchange student Pedro Acosta from Peru.
The Rotary Club of Marana since 1991 has been passionate about helping the riders with food, water, and being safe on the road. 

A special thanks to Debbie Conover for heading this tremendous program. 

Rotary raised over $780,000 to eradicate Polio worldwide.  Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, will have his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation match it times 2 bringing us up to over 2.4 million. Congratulations to all Rotarians.  To End Polio Now click here
