1. Larry presented Karen with the official New Member Sponsorship Pin (for bringing in Andrea Mahnke). 2. Club Goals for 2015-2016 were reviewed, discussed, and changes made accordingly. (Attached) 3. Phil Corderoy’s visit in October was discussed. We talked about potential activities while he’s here, including hosting a dinner in his honor. Karen will find out his schedule so we know to consider jet-lag or not.
(We ran out of time to go around the table, but Kent had one to share.) Kent purchased clothing for the school nurse (Laird Elementary School) to use for kids throughout the school year… made the donation in the name of Tempe Rio Salado Rotary. Hey, now that’s pretty cool! (Pictures on next page) The rest of us took a vote and decided we’re all happy.

Guru Purnima is an Indian and Nepalese festival dedicated to spiritual and academic teachers. This festival is traditionally celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Buddhists, to pay their respects to their teachers and express their gratitude. The festival is celebrated on the full moon day in the Nepali month of Ashadha of the Shaka Samvat, which is the Nepali calendar known as Hindu calendar in Nepal and India.
