 Dec 12, 2015 - Today, multiple local Rotary Clubs participated in a food sorting project with the United Food Bank in Mesa. Here are some of the stats for the project.
* 30 volunteer Rotarians & friends * 7 Rotary clubs participated
* 120 community service hours (30 volunteers x 4 hours)
* Nearly 6 tons of food was qualified and sorted (11,780 pounds)
* This will provide nearly 10,000 meals (9,816)
* That's 327 meals per volunteer!
* Learned a lot about how local food needs are met -
Store surpluses -> Food banks -> pantries -> families in need
* Wowed UFB as to Rotary's mission, turnout and productivity!

November 2015 - We provided a combination dictionary/encyclopedia to almost all of the 3rd graders in the Phoenix Roosevelt School District. That's over 1300 Students in 17 elementary schools! We also distributed dictionaries to the Frank Elementary School in Guadalupe. In addition we worked with the children in each class to teach them how to look up information in their new book. The students and teachers were wonderfully appreciative and the Rotarians and friends thoroughly enjoyed this service project. Many of the classrooms have had no other visitors before. This is the 8th year of service to Roosevelt 3rd graders.
