Club President Steve conducted a Club Assembly meeting on January 12 to update members on what's been happening with your Rotary Club.  

 

• A motion was made to approve the Rotary Club of Oro Valley’s By-Laws at a recent meeting. A copy of the revised by-laws was sent to members by email on January 3, 2023. The motion passed unanimously by all in attendance.

• Over the Christmas Holidays our club’s combined efforts donated over 1300 wrapped and unwrapped gifts to children in need.
• The Interact Club, and by extension the club as a whole, has chosen to participate in the Angel Heart Pajama Project. The Angel Heart Pajama Project is a Non Profit Organization, 501c3 whose mission is to provide pajamas, books, and literacy support to children in need. Especially focusing on those children removed from their homes/family for their safety. Over 250 sets of “PJ’s” have already been by the Interacters. Find out more at the website: http://www.angelheartpajamaproject.org.
• Our club sponsored seven students at the recently conducted Rotary Youth Awards (RYLA) program.  Several will speak at our club meeting on February 9.
• As a follow-up to our club’s participation in the Wreaths Across America project at the veteran’s memorial cemetery, during the holidays, we are purchasing 60 wreaths for next year under a 2 for 1 early purchase plan.
• For additional community service projects, check the club’s website and elsewhere in this bulletin.
