CLUB ASSEMBLY!
CENTENNIAL PROJECT
Tonya presented an update on the Mural project.
The final artwork was presented. It is entitled “Volunteerism: A Pathway to Peace”. The vision statement is “Designed to honor and celebrate, in a lasting way, the tremendous community value of volunteering and peacebuilding.", It will be quite large – 20’ by 31’, or 620 sq. feet!
This project will align with the City of Flagstaff “Alley Activation” initiative to add to the beauty and cultural draw of Flagstaff for many years to come.
Weather permitting the work will be done in a March-April timeframe, and it will be all hands on deck! It is our intention to have a block party to celebrate its completion. Kudos to Tonya and Lindsey for making this happen!
INTERACT CLUB
Largely through the efforts of Eric Walden, the local Interact club has submitted its application to Rotary International to become an officially charted club. With the guidance of Eric and Kimberly Batty-Herbert, the club has grown from 3, three years ago to a current membership of about 18. Great job!
FLAGSTAFF ROTARY FOUNDATION
Eric reported that the Flagstaff Rotary foundation currently has $108,000 in endowed funds – in an account at the Arizona Community Foundation. There is currently $2,900 in the checking account, which is unencumbered. Traditionally, the Foundation supports the Coconino Community College with annual scholarships from the income earned in the endowment account.
