Our club president, John O’Rourke, has a son, Dan, who leads a great band from Nashville that is performing here in Green Valley at the end of November at CPAC with some of the proceeds going to our club for humanitarian projects. You can get tickets on the Community Performing Arts Center of Green Valley’s page.

Our club president John O'Rourke (R) hosted two Romanian Rotarians over the weekend, Lucian and Alina DeMezzo from the Bucharest, Romania Rotary Club, at the Rotary District 5500 Conference of Clubs in Tubac, AZ at the fabulous Tubac Golf Resort and Spa. It was a great, informative weekend and many new connections were made and ideas shared.

Ten Rotarians pitched in this morning to ensure food security for hundreds of our fellow Southern Arizonans at the Sahuarita Food Bank where they manned stations to gratefully pass out bread, meat, vegetables and many more items. Included were two new volunteers, Tom MacDonald and Scott Lamb, who both wore smiles and were there to support their fellow citizens in need.
Each Wednesday and Thursday, our club members help give life-saving benefits to the people in the area we serve, and we are happy to do that.

Several of our members joined in the “Hunger Walk” to support the Green Valley Food Bank this morning at the Historic Canoa Ranch, and two of our most energetic members, Sgt. At Arms Scott Lamb and his sidekick, Army Veteran Jeff Mansfield, manned a table for the Rotary Club of Green Valley. All reported having fun at this great annual event.

This was in the Sahuarita Food Bank and Community Resource Center’s email newsletter, and we should note all our volunteers in addition to those pictured. Pictured are, right to left, Phil Noble, Lynn Birleffi, Colleen Ward and Kai Yi, who are joined each Wednesday morning by John O’Rourke, Deb Gerzsenye, Becky & Jeff Mansfield. Thursday Rotary Club of Green Valley volunteers are Mary Greer and Mike Conley. It is an amazingly innovative food bank and provides a very needed service for thousands of people in Southern Arizona.

At our now-monthly Rotary Club of Green Valley socials, this one at the Coyote Grill, one member voiced his feelings about such events; “…this is a great group of people who work to help their community..” and said he had spent time getting to know another member much better during the event. Thanks to everyone who turned out for the event and stay tuned for next month’s event on the first Friday of September at Taco Giro.
