๐ŸŽ‰ Rotary Fun

Taylor wrapped up the meeting as Sergeant-at-Arms, and congratulations to Andy Ganas, whose name was drawn today. While Andy took home the drawing prize, the Ace of Spades remained hidden, so the jackpot continues to grow! ๐Ÿ’ฐ

President Cameron kicked off the meeting with a warm welcome and introduction to our guests! We had family members joining us, plus Tom and Gloria, Andy's office manager (who's looking to join Rotary ๐Ÿ‘€), and our wonderful Interact students. ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ™ Taylor led us in a beautiful Gratitude Moment.

๐Ÿ“… Mark your calendars:
๐Ÿ”ฅ Fireside Chat โ€“ July 30th at Red Robin. A great way to learn more about Rotary and how to get involved!
๐Ÿ“‹ Board Meeting โ€“ Wednesday, July 22nd at Rebel

๐Ÿ‘ Past President Becky presented our contribution to the Trash Bag Program with the Marine Association, and handed out Board member gifts and thank yous to those who couldn't make it to dinner. She also gave us an update on our Veteran Baskets project. Huge thanks to Sterilite for donating 24 laundry baskets to fill for our returning Veterans! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

๐Ÿ’œ Today's program featured Mary VanRoy and Kimberly Zanon from CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), an organization that supports foster care children. Empower Her House is a new program that is looking for volunteers.

Not all the kids get a CASA representative. It is a very confidential program and requires a lot of training, lots of notes and reports with the judge, all in the best interest of the child.

Mary has been a CASA volunteer for 28 years. She has seen so much success through the program. Mary loves teaching the kids to ride horses, hike, and enjoy the outdoors. ๐Ÿด๐ŸŒฒ

Kimberly updated us on Housing 928, which is breaking ground, and it is for teen girls.๐Ÿก

๐Ÿ˜„ And of course, Sergeant at Arms Taylor did his best to raise funds by fining all of us for silly little things!

Great meeting, great people, great cause. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ† Then it was award time! We were proud to hand out some well-deserved Chamber recognitions to members who couldn't make it to the annual Chamber Awards Dinner:

๐ŸŽ“ Cal Sheehy โ€” CFEL Distinguished Alumni Award
๐ŸŽˆ Lake Havasu Balloon Festival โ€” Chamber Champion Award (Nonprofit)

Congratulations to both! ๐Ÿ™Œ

We closed things out with heartfelt thank yous to Becky and Cameron for throwing an amazing installation party, plus a round of Happy and Sad Bucks with Taylor. ๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŽค Guest Speaker Spotlight:
We welcomed Rick, a fellow Rotarian and board member of the Marine Association, who shared the incredible work they do on our lake. ๐ŸŒŠ He shared that the Marine Association was started by some of the pioneers of Havasu to have a boating club.

Some of the things they get involved in are:
โ€ข The Quagga Mussels and buoy alignment.
โ€ข Working on improving their website to be an information source, with real-time water conditions and emergency contacts.
โ€ข Their signature Trash Bag Program covers 98 trash bag posts from Needles and down the lake, with roughly 40 of those being boat-in access only.
โ€ข With BLM down to just 3 personnel and unable to operate the boats, the Marine Association stepped up and organized a beach cleanup with volunteers, collecting 600 lbs of trash! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

We also heard from Nikky, Volunteer Coordinator and VIP of Marketing for the Marine Association, about their October lake shore cleanup and how vital their Volunteer Program is.

Kirk Conner, board and Auxiliary Coast Guard member, shared how the team supports lake safety at local events and offers Sober Captains through the organization.

Mark your calendars, their Boat Show fundraiser returns in March 2027! โ›ต

๐Ÿ˜„ Fun Finish:
Taylor was back as Sergeant at Arms, collecting a few friendly fines to support our social fund.

And congrats to Lisa and Ashley for winning Ace of Spades! ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŽ‰

Thank you to everyone who joined us this week! ๐Ÿค

๐Ÿ“… Upcoming Rotary Events:
โ€ข Installation Dinner โ€“ June 26th at The Back Nine
โ€ข Health Fair โ€“ July 18th

Our featured speaker was Judge K, who provided an insightful update on the Veterans Court program. Serving as a judge for 15 years, Judge K shared the remarkable success of this specialized court, which has been serving Lake Havasu City for 13 years. As the third Veterans Court established in Arizona and the first in a rural community, it continues to make a meaningful impact by helping prisoners address substance abuse, mental health challenges, and other obstacles through rehabilitation and support.

One of the most inspiring aspects of the program is that many graduates remain involved as mentors, helping guide others through the process. Strong support from community members, city leaders, and legal professionals continues to contribute to the programโ€™s long-term success.

๐Ÿ‘ A special thank you to Taylor, our Sergeant-at-Arms, for doing a great job raising funds for our social activities!

โ˜€๏ธ Summer Reminder: Rotary meetings will be held at Makai's throughout the summer.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another informative and inspiring meeting. Together, we continue to make a positive difference in our community!
