March 26, 2024 - Mike Tanner, member of Phoenix West and the founder of trustarian, gave us a good overview of what the trustarian organization does and how it came about. Trustarian is a website that all Rotarians can use to promote their business or let everyone know that they are available as mentors. A member listing can be free, or "Enhanced" ($20 per month) or "Deluxe" ($30 per month) depending on the amount of information in the listing. There are currently 140 registered users. Mike is moving "trustarian" into two other districts - 5500 and 5520. He is looking for help to recruit members and manage the site. See the website to connect to a youtube video that explains the process.
If you are a busy person who wants to have fun while making a difference, then be our guest for lunch on Monday (not holidays) from 12:00 to 1:00 pm at the Olive Garden. Currently our meetings are in person and via Zoom. We are men and women in ages from 30's to retired. Check our Facebook page - Kyrene RC as well. The URL for this page is KyreneRotary.org
March 04, 2024 - Rich Ward, the former president of AVNET Computer Group, gave us a brief history of AVNET, what it's major products and services are, as well as an explanation of how his group moved from LA to Phoenix. It is an amazing company with extremely high ethics. Rich is a true renaissance man who flew jets for the Navy, owns his own sheep farm that is totally off the grid, loves sailing and camping. We didn't have enough time to have a longer discussion with Rich but I'm sure we will have him return later in the year.
February 19, 2024 - Member Rich led us through a discussion to develop an understanding of who we are and where are we going as a club? The results of the discussion (on a white board) will help us develop a strong brochure that can be used for recruiting new members, as well as for soliciting donations to our foundation.
