A NOTE FROM EDIE CRALL TO ALL ROTARIANS

Good morning:
On March 28 of this year the Saddlebrooke Rotary Club honored me with a Citizen of the Year Award. The plaque hangs in my home and I smile whenever I see it.
It occurred to me that it would be appropriate to bring the Rotary Club up-to-date on my continuing volunteer activities as the award was given because of those activities.
As you may recall at the time of the award I was President of Safe Journey House, the advocacy center serving domestic violence victims located in San Manuel, Arizona. Since that time, Safe Journey House has been fortunate enough to transfer all assets to Against Abuse which is located in Casa Grande. Safe Journey House now has the opportunity to grow in scope and services as Against Abuse has a 35 year history of working to eradicate domestic violence in Pinal County. Although I am no longer President of Safe Journey House, I am still involved as a resource for Safe Journey House and Against Abuse.
Finally, after 'retiring' from the Safe Journey House board, my plan was to take a little time 'off' from the daily volunteering that Safe Journey House required. However, those plans were soon dashed as I was honored to be asked to serve on the Catalina Community Services Board. As a new board member I do feel a bit overwhelmed with the scope of information to be digested, however, the community is well served with the all the services available through Catalina Community Services and I am very happy that I have been asked to join such an outstanding organization.
Again, I would like to thank you for the lovely award from Saddlebrooke Rotary and hope that you will call upon me should you need any assistance in spreading the word about the Rotary.
With best wishes,
Edie Crall
