Rotary Luncheon
Community of Care
Today the Rotary presentation was about San Juan County Communities of Care. The project is a network of services, supports, and relationships built by committed people who have a stake in improving outcomes for children and youth with serious behavioral health challenges. This organization is directed toward creating awareness about youth suicide and prevention resources in our county. The projected launch date is January 2016 in the four local middle schools. There will be rubber bracelets to announce and promote the project at the assemblies. Today's attendees donated the Sergeant of Arms' fund after a vote was taken from those members present.

Paul Harris Society:
$1,000 donation because we care
Rotarians participate in the Paul Harris Society because we care. Our contributions demonstrate our commitment to serve others. Approximately 170 Rotarians in District 5520 are currently Paul Harris Society members.
Named after Rotary's founder, the Paul Harris Society recognizes Rotary members and friends of The Rotary Foundation who contribute $1,000 or more each year to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or approved global grants. The purpose of the Paul Harris Society is to honor and thank individuals for their generosity of annual support to The Rotary Foundation.
WHAT YOUR GIFT SUPPORTS With your gift you’re promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local economies through grants that, for example:
• Bring peace-building seminars to 200 teachers and 1,300 students in Uganda.
• Distribute insecticide-treated mosquito nets and medical services that help prevent malaria in Mali
• Train teachers who are establishing an early childhood education center in South Africa.
• Provide water filters, toilet blocks, and hygiene training to prevent fluorosis in a community in India.
