On September 20 at the Regular Thursday Meeting, Bob Reid, CEO of the Maddox Corporation, the largest Not For Profit in New Mexico was the Guest Speaker on the Subject "Empowering Women in Bolivia".  This is a joint project of the Hobbs and Lovington Rotary Clubs which is the subject of a Global grant and supported by other Clubs in District 5520.  It was a very moving speech about the horrible plight of women living in Extreme Poverty and being forced to work in the mines of Bolivia.

"What would it be like to come home to a house that was a calming oasis?" We pondered this question and learned how to tame our overwhelming clutter during an informative discussion with Merri Jean Jones of Studio J Interiors.

Happy Bucks - Many members contributed Happy Bucks in honor of MJ Jones' inspiring presentation.  Kelli Muwumba contributed 3 Happy Bucks in honor of her husband winning 1st and 3rd place at the State Fair for his artwork (and he sold a piece too!)

Shirley Anderson was the luckiest of us all. She won the Satellite Club  Foundation raffle.
