Meredith, Michelle and other Del Sol Rotarians supported the Kids Matter gloves and hats give-away where hundreds of hats and gloves were given to needy children. In fact, so many hats and gloves were donated that there were bags left over which will be donated to other organizations.

Another Christmas Party has come and gone but what a great party it was! Thank you to Brian and Jennifer Huffaker for hosting again this year. Love the tree and train! Just like other social events, these give us time to talk to people we may not get a chance to speak to at weekly meeting. The food was plentiful and delicious. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. Thanks again Brian and Jennifer.
50 Things Every Rotarian Should Know About Rotary
10- THE SPONSOR OF A NEW MEMBER
The bylaws of Rotary clearly outline the procedure for a prospective member to be proposed for Rotary club membership. The "proposer" is the key person in the growth and advancement of Rotary Without a sponsor, an individual will never have the opportunity to become a Rotarian.
The task of the proposer should not end merely by submitting a name to the club secretary or membership committee. Rotary has not established formal responsibilities for proposers or sponsors, however, by custom and tradition these procedures are recommended in many clubs. The sponsor should:
Invite a prospective member to several meetings prior to proposing the individual for membership.
Accompany the prospective new member to one or more orientation/informational meetings.
Introduce the new member to other club members each week for the first month.
Invite the new member to accompany the sponsor to neighboring clubs for the first make-up meeting to learn the process and observe the spirit of fellowship.
Ask the new member and spouse to accompany the sponsor to the club's social activities, dinners or other special occasions.
Urge the new member and spouse to attend the district conference with the sponsor.
Serve as a special friend to assure that the new member becomes an active Rotarian.
When the proposer follows these guidelines, Rotary becomes stronger with each new member.
Zone Institute Coming to Albuquerque
After an absence of 15 years, the Zone 26/27 Institute will be held in Albuquerque next October 23-25, 2025. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience Rotary beyond our communities and our District… Every Rotarian is welcome to attend the Institute but, based on my experience as a Club President and Governor, Club and District leaders will especially benefit from the Zone Institute experience!
You'll meet Zone leadership as well as Rotary International and Rotary Foundation leaders. You'll meet Rotarians from our Zones with lots of programs and ideas. Rotarians from West Texas to Hawaii, from New Mexico to the northern border (even Vancourver, BC) will be there.
Experience peer-to-peer sessions, presentations on topics as diverse as AI, experiences of our Peace Fellow, a Polio Day project, dedicating a Peace Pole and presentation of District 5520 Governor-elect Jeff Weinrach and his wife Clare.
