Oct 12, 2015 - Today, Retired Captain of the Phoenix Police Department, Carroll Cooley, gave us a detailed description of the historic Miranda case. Captain Cooley was the arresting officer in this 1963 case and was involved in the original trial, the appeals, the second trial, and the rule change that requires all suspects to be read their rights. He gave us vivid descriptions of the crime, the pursuit, and key elements of the trials. It is a fascinating story which held the member's rapt attention. There was lots of discussion and questions. Many thanks to Captain Cooley.
Oct 9, 2015 - Movies in the Park was very successful last week and again last night. Over $300 net profit was made on both nights. Last night the crowd was not a big as anticipated but there was a steady business through out the night. A number of members participated, - Doug, Jim, Kelly and Tom but we also had help from Kelly's family (Lonnie and Kate) and Tom's daughter Angelina. It was great to have the children help and the extra hands were terrific. Two more weeks to go to meet our fund raising goals. Come out and have some fun with us.
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 12:10 to 1:15 pm at the Kobe Japanese Steakhouse. We are men and women in ages from 30's to retired. Check our Facebook page - Kyrene Corridor RC as well. The URL for this page is KyreneRotary.org
Oct 5, 2015_ Today, Beth Brizel and Sandy Lowe spoke to us about the upcoming "override" election. They gave us a fact sheet which contained performance statistics that show just how well this district is doing compared to others and make a compelling argument for supporting the DAA override later this month. The fact sheet shows how the funds are distributed. They encouraged members to return the mail ballots as soon as they are received. There was a vigorous question and answer session - along with several supportive statements from club members that followed the presentations.
Sept 28, 2015 - We were honored by the visit of our District Governor, Sherry Maschel, who knighted our President, Dave Kline, and then the entire club. After reviewing our last year's performance, Sherry talked about the "Power of Rotary" and what it takes to bring young people into the organization. She suggested that we need to focus on young people by increasing our emphasis on programs such as "Early Rotarians", Interact, Rotaract, RYLA, and Rotary Youth Exchange. Sherry wants us to adopt the acronym RERF - which means Recruit - Engage - Retain - Fun. Paying attention to REFR should help us "Growing our Club".
We all enjoyed Sherry's visit and had a great time together.
