Our honored club member Narayan Murarka speaks with us about the Sunnyhill School and Guatemala Projects.

Narayan Announced that the Guatemala Club we have worked with for 5 years on Mechanical Cow and Fresh Water projects, is co-sponsoring a global grant with BBRC. Additional funds will also come from the Rotary Foundation. The total amount will be $35K and will be applied toward the Sunnyhill new concept library project.

District 220 has also raised approximately $70K for a current total of $105K. The project stills needs more funding but it certainly is a great start to the final goal.

GUEST SPEAKER CHASE BREIMIER

Long time club member Jim Otis introduces BHS Interact club member Chase Breimier. Both Jim & Chase spoke to our membership.

Chase is a member of the BHS Interact Club. He started a project called reminiscing Rhythms where Chase went to senior home and used music to bring back memories. Chase worked with club member Joyce Palmquist on the project.

Chase started a project called intergenerational conversations. Chase and club member Trudy Wehren interviewed seniors, to provide permanent life story records for their families.

Chase was also a part of our Guatemala project where he visited 50 patients every day at the local Guatemalan clinics. He also assisted in putting together a $12K grant that was approved. The grant money is going toward test & diagnostic equipment, and is process of being purchased.
