Last week we heard from Dr. Norm Dawson who spoke on the topic, "Dementia, Hearing Loss or Both?" Many thanks to Dr. Dawson for this informative and important discussion!
The Governors Ball Charity Selection Committee deliberated over the weekend and has chosen five Governors Ball beneficiary finalists for 2019. This Thursday, March 15th, we'll be hearing from the Storehouse, New Day, and the Coalition to End Child Sexual Abuse. On Thursday, March 22nd, we'll hear from the NM Veterans Integration Center and the Children’s Grief Center. Each presentation will last 10 minutes and, following the last slate of presentations on March 22, the club will take a vote at the close of the meeting to select two beneficiaries for next year's ball. Make sure to be there for these important meetings!
Speaking of the Governors Ball, it's RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! So let's not forget about our collective commitment to getting MORE SPONSORSHIPS for the Governors Ball this year than we ever have before! This is a team effort, folks, and we have one of the strongest teams around so let's all put in some time and effort for getting those sponsorships, getting the word out and selling tables!! We can make this year the biggest and brightest ever!! PUSH!!!
Lastly, LET'S KEEP PUSHING : If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, President Elect Dacia Card will have tickets with her during Thursday's meeting! If you haven't gotten your tickets, please contact Dacia at daciacard@comcast.net. We're still in the midst of Every Rotarian, Every Year - the program that encourages all Rotarians - every single one of us - to contribute to the Rotary Foundation, annually. Last year, our club had the highest per capita giving rate in District 5520. One of President Michael's goals for this year is to have 100% participation in Rotary Foundation giving. An easy way to give is to go to Rotary.org. For every $10 contributed, you're entitled to one ticket in the Rotary Raffle (Cruise or Cash!!), AND contributions to the Rotary Foundation & Rotary Del Sol Foundation are tax deductible!
