After Pledge Andrea began the meeting with Happy Bucks.
Mark- Mom called!
Dan-Set his sons-in-law straight! For more to this storyline see Dan.
Peter-Three-year-old grandson visiting. Problems with grill so he replaced with the Green Egg grill. One of the two burst into flames. This was followed by every homeowner's nightmare, raw sewage backing up into his shower. A plumber and a few/several coins later the Mack household was back to normal.
Harold-Moved his flagpole and now the wind has easier access to the flag. He is surprised at how little time is required to damage the flag exposed to the strong winds we have been experiencing.
John-Read letter from a foster mother relating the powerful impact The Mayfly Project has had on her two foster kids. Our club funded this project where 8-10 foster kids are taught how to fly fish and given the equipment to do so.
Christine-Mornings! That was tjhe extent of her Happy Bucks. Unfortunately, she went on to advise that she will no longer be a member of our club come July 1st as a decision of NWFD for whom she works. She gave a more lengthy explanation and you may want to see Christine if interested.
Laura-Had emergency dental work but all is well. Headed to DC for conference with SS Benefit attorneys. Hopes to see Library of Congress, The Smithsonian, Cherry blossoms and get a cup of coffee at Cafe Milans.
Bob- he is a jinx! Last year when visiting his mother-in-law her AC went out. This year her water heater. He paid for plumber and repair and when his mother-in-law protested, he explained it was her Mother's Day gift.
Beckie-Has a balloon blow up machine if anyone is interested. Leftover from granddaughter's birthday party.
Andrea-Looking forward to seeing eleven month old triplets nephews this Easter weekend.
Announcements-4/22 to 4/29 is Rotary Week of Service. District 5500 plans to clean up Rillito River on the 26th from 8am-10am. See the District newsletter for details.

The last 20 minutes of the meeting in discussion of financial status of our Foundation, recurring commitments and future expenditures. President Andrea created an Excell spreadsheet which she will share with incoming Club President, Cindy Dooling.
Our speaker was an employee of the Amphitheater School District. She is the founder, twelve years ago, of Treasurers for Teachers (www.t4teachers.org). For a small annual fee of only $35 any Pima County teacher can get a boatload of a variety of school supplies from crayons to Kleenex. They have a warehouse located in Marana on Camino Martin. The only paid employees are a couple of part-time Mountain View High School students. Financial support comes from the $35 fee and grants. Locally, Long Realty has been a huge benefactor.
