I was pleased to present our 2021-22 Year in Review at the June 23rd meeting. We ended the year with a 27 percent increase in Club membership, totaling 71 members. Among the many other goals we reached, I am most proud that we were able to continue our fundraising efforts and service projects to help our community. If you missed the last meeting, you can view the attached presentation.

And finally Susan Burnett, Donna Holton and the Manyatta Zebra, Kenya Global Grant team is looking for one more traveler to even out their trip to meet the Isiolo Rotary Club, see the early progress of the grant, meet the people we are assisting, and gather photos and interviews for "Phase 2." The timing of this trip is end of Oct thru the middle of November (12-14 days). There will be some time for exploration and fun. If you are interested in going, please contact Sue Burnett within the next two weeks. The rough estimate of this trip is $3,000ish (economy flight).
Audrey Rafferty Memorial Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser
The Spaghetti Dinner was Friday, June 10th. We were happy to see so many Rotarians, family, friends and community members!
I would like to send out a Thank You for everyone's participation in the Spaghetti Dinner.
Whether you volunteered to help, sold tickets, bought tickets, promoted the event or came to enjoy a delicious meal with friends, family and co-workers, your support of the Morning Star Rotary Spaghetti Dinner was greatly appreciated.
The day was filled with fellowship, camaraderie, laughs, labor and sweat in an aromatic atmosphere.
The evening was filled with the enjoyment of the "fruits of the labor" not only with family and friends but also with fellow Rotarians both old and new. It was great to reconnect once again in this Social and Fundraising event.
