Roger Bonngard has a long history with The Rotary Vocational Fund of Arizona. He was one of the early Directors and continues to serve as an active Advisor.He is smiling in this photo taken at the Chandler Horizon Rotary Club's May 5 meeting. Roger was very happy because his own club elected to support the good work of TRVFA with a $3,000 donation from their club's foundation. TRVFA was one of three organizations receiving checks at that meeting.
Earlier in the meeting, three TRVFA grant recipients who were sponsored by the club shared some brief information about themselves while attending the meeting virtually via Zoom.
- Tina is in Dental Assisting. She is a 30-year-old with a family of four. Her vocational growth will be four-fold.
- Evelyn is in Phlebotomy. She is a sixty-four-year-old who needs to work longer and not collect social security for a while. Her position at her hospital was terminated due to her age and COVID. Because of her training, she will now have a more secure job with better pay.
- Madison is in Medical Assisting. A 21-year-old whose parents recently became US citizens, she currently works as a part-time receptionist while pursuing her studies. Her training will project her into a bright future.
