October Message from our President
Posted by David Carvell
WOW!!! Did we ever have a good time.
We successfully completed our first fundraiser of the year. A huge thanks to Kortnee and all those that helped out at Pars Under the Stars. A big shout out to Burgers and Beer for providing us with a great dinner and the other companies and individuals for help on raffle prizes, equipment, and other things that made the tournament an evening to remember. The ball drop was a huge success. Congratulations to Tom Kelly for winning our grand prize of $2000. We sold over 1200 balls this year, proving once again that Fort Yuma Rotarians can get it done.
It is a very exciting time moving toward the end of the year. The appetizer social is coming up where we will compete against other Rotary clubs for the honor of having the best appetizers in all of Yuma County. Our annual Christmas gathering will be on December 5th. We hope everyone will take some time to enjoy the company of other fellow Rotarians as we celebrate the holiday season. Our annual Christmas Shopping spree is coming up and Nora and her team are getting ready for another great way to give back to our community. I am proud to say that our Carver Elementary School project is on track thanks to Dan Tortolano and his great team. We are going to be demoing the area November 29th and preparing the site for the big weekend coming up on December 12-14.
There is a lot going on for everyone to enjoy by putting "service above self" at this very important time of the year when we are thankful for what we have and grateful to help give back to our community and beyond. Thanks to everyone for everything that helps to make The Rotary Club of Fort Yuma the best Rotary Club anywhere.
