We hope to see you there!

Thank you James Efting for educating us on the importance of a good estate plan and what that means! And thank you for signing this week's book to be donated to a Sunnyvale school in support of Rotary's literacy initiative. 

  

 

Thank you District Governor Tim Lundell, Lt. Governor Judy Wilson, and Assistant Governor Tina Orsi-Hartigan for visiting us today and reminding us just how powerful Rotary can be when we work together to change the world. Be the inspiration! 

 

 

Come and get your raffle tickets! For the first time in the 30+ year history of our club's weekly raffle, we are down to the one winning marble in the bag! Every week, Rotarians donate money to purchase tickets. A winning raffle ticket is called and the member gets to draw a marble out of the bag. If they pull a green marble they get a free lunch, but if they pull the one clear marble they win half of the pot! The pot is currently over $1,600. Half of the pot goes toward club administrative expenses. Over the years winning members have donated their half to the Club's Foundation to be used for a variety of local and international projects. If you're feeling lucky come on down! 

 

The Sunnyvale Rotary Club would like to welcome its newest member to the family, Arcadio Morales! Arcadio is the Senior Director of Development at Sunnyvale Community Services. After a long and distinguished career in student affairs and fundraising in higher education at both Stanford and Santa Clara universities, he is extremely happy to have made the move into the community non-profit world. Since doing so, he has experienced many of those “ah ha, what took me so long to do this” moments. Community engagement is an important part of Arcadio's life. He is a senior fellow of the American Leadership Forum (ALF) of Silicon Valley, class of 2022. He is active in his church, St. Thomas Episcopal in Sunnyvale, where he serves as a lay eucharistic minister, member of the vestry, and chairperson of the stewardship committee. He also helps to plan and is a speaker at Construyendo Futuros (Building Futures), an annual conference that focuses on educating youth and adults about the dangers and prevention of relationship abuse and domestic violence. Arcadio received his undergraduate degree in English from UC Santa Barbara and studied Counseling Psychology at the University of San Francisco.  (From left to right: Club President Michelle Lewis, new club member Arcadio Morales, Sunnyvale Community Services Executive Director Marie Bernard, Arcadio's son Pablo, and Saba Teklu, Sunnyvale Community Services Marketing & Development Coordinator).

It was a pleasure learning about Namaste Direct and how the organization helps women with established micro-businesses in Guatemala grow their profits, formalize business infrastructure, and enter the formal business sector through mentoring and education! Learn more at https://namastedirect.org/
