 Note from Jackie Harrington, Springerville:

Most of our people are now being able to go home. Alpine was able to get back in a few days ago and Greer residents get to go in today. Some of the areas are still not open to the public. At this time I cannot tell you what specifically is needed, however we do have a few local not for profits that have been huge in helping the evacuees and I know their resources are running low so any help will be welcome.

 I will let you know if there is anyone or anything else that is in need.

Rotary Model United Nations Assembly or MUNA is all about building bridges of goodwill for world peace and understanding in the minds of our youth.

 

Regrettably many leaders have exploited differences of race, religion and nationalism among their followers simply to consolidate their own power.

 

The lessons from two great world wars and numerous lesser conflicts should be absorbed by our youth so that they can avoid repeating the mistakes of history.

 

MUNA challenges our youth to respect and tolerate differences of race, religion and nationalism whilst retaining their own individualism and the best of their national traditions.

 

MUNA as a concept arose in North America from the desire of young people to simulate the great debates of the United Nations Assembly.

After 20 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating this tenacious disease but a strong push is needed now to root it out once and for all. It is a window of opportunity of historical proportions.

As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk.

Vic Cordts – EastValley Boys & Girls Club

 

Many children have no adult supervision after school. Studies have shown that the hours between 3pm – 8pm are the hours that most kids are likely to get involved with crime, be victims of crime or engage in other risky behavior. The Clubs provide an alternative to the dangers of the streets. Moreover, the Clubs provide stimulating activities that help build character, self-esteem, values and skills.

 

Boys & Girls Clubs of the EastValley offers that and more! Our Clubs instill a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

"Leadership and the Bottom Line" will be the theme of our October 30^th guest speaker Doug Hoxeng from Grand CanyonUniversity.  He with coauthor Don Frick (biographer of Robert Greenleaf), wrote The Business Case for Servant Leadership featuring contributions by noted leadership authority Ken Blanchard and Colleen Barrett , Southwest Airlines President Emeritus.  Doug will share case examples of large, small and start up organizations from his book to answer three key questions:  Does leadership really affect the bottom line?  If so, which type of leadership is best?  And, how can I then best develop as a leader?

Neil Sutton on Reverse Mortgages

Reverse mortgages are becoming popular in America. The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is FHA's reverse mortgage program which enables you to withdraw some of the equity in your home. The HECM is a plan that can give older Americans greater financial security. Many seniors use it to supplement social security, meet unexpected medical expenses, and make home improvements and more.
