Lynn – Story for the day – The cat died and goes to heaven God greets the cat and says you have been a good cat is there anything we can do for you? The Cat says I was raised on a farm and all I have known is sleeping on a hard floor I would love a pillow and God said done. About a week later a dozen mice died and he give them the same option and the mice said all we have done our whole life is run from dogs, cats, brooms etc, what we would really like is roller skates, done. A few days later he goes over and wakes up the cat and says how is everything going the cat said wonderful this pillow is awesome and I love these little meals on wheels they keep sending me.

Bob – Spent 10 days with his brother and sister-in-law and toured AZ.
Laura- Is attending the conference in Houston virtually, she is very impressed with how it has been organized.
Laura wanted to spend a little time thinking about our calendar and the things we have coming up after July 1, 2022. She would like to think about a Rotary Club retreat. On June 18th, Laura will be inducted in as President of The Marana Rotary Club it will be at her house from 5-7pm.
She would like the retreat the 2nd weekend of July the 16th, at her house.
Calendar coming up – let’s think about what we want to keep, delete, or add. She would like to reenergize our relationship with the Marana Chamber and the Town of Marana.
Events the Town of Marana host are the Founder day in March, 4th of July, fall festival and Christmas lighting. Also Marana Parks and Recs have volunteer opportunities, Laura emailed them to see how we might help with that. We could also set up an ice cream or icee truck at one of the splash pads.
Were only 10 years younger than the town, so why don’t we do something for the founder’s day. We could turn this into a fundraiser.
Were a member of the Chamber and all it says is a mailing address and phone # and our name and it says nothing about us. If we want to have anything on the Chamber, web site we need to get some updated info on their sight. They have the 4th Tuesday mixer from 5-7 and their morning meeting the 1st Wednesday of each month. Becky always attends she had passed out flyers on our events. Adam is also a member of the Chamber and he said that the last Tuesday mixer there was about 50-60 people there.
The next thing she wants us to think about is the four 5th Tuesdays we have this year we need to think do we want to use them as a social or service project.
El Tour is November 19th, it will start downtown this time, we have sponsored a station for 26 years, but we may not be in Marana, we will have to plan for a station still.
And El Tour de Cookie – it will either be March 4 or March 11, 2023, Becky and Dan will be co-chairs. We need to focus on advanced media a month or two ahead. Laura said the Tour de Tucson puts all their bike races and fun runs on a website bike https://www.bikereg.com/ we should see if we want to use that. It’s a one stop site for bike runs not just races. We need to all be willing to work one time a month the bike path to spread the word.
Mary also said we need to think about a district grant we are coming up to the deadline July 15, 2022. Mary suggested Felicias Farm again.
Meeting was closed with the four way test.
