Immediate Past President Christy Manning hugged her successor, Jane Anne Shimizu, at our Goldwater Lake Instalation Diinner, wishing her a successful year. Past President Christy presented a number of appreciation gifts to her Club Board members and others, whom she felt had been the key to the club's very successful 2024-25 Rotary Year. Assistant Governor Katheryn Tuberty was with us to administer the Oath of Office for our new Club President, Jane Anne Shimizu. President Jane Anne Shimizu is flanked by those members of her Board of Directors who were able to be there for her installation. Unfortunately, not all of them were able to make it. Among the missing were Todd Clancy, International Service Director, who had knee replacement surgery that morning.   Every mmber of a Rotary Club receives each month a mailed copy of the Rotary Magazine, the official publication of Rotary International. It provides a good opportunity to view the World of Rotary which exists outside the walls of our club's meeting room — and this is important, After all, we are Rotary International — not just a single club in our hometown. We encourge you to read this publication, and to pass it along to someone you feel may have a special interest in one of the articles in each month's issue. It is also a great magazine to make available to your clients and customers to read, as they wait for their appointment with you, The fact is, though, that there is not just one Rotary Magazine. You may be surprised to learn that Rotary's communications network includes over 30 regional magazines. Each magazine is independently produced and published. CLUB SERVICE Our Satellite Prescott Valley Rotary Club
From its inception, our intention in sponsoring a Satellite Rotary Club in Prescott Valley has been to see it grow as quickly as possible, developing a size and its own leadership, which would enable it to atand on its own as a separate, chartered Rotary Club. Did anyone expect that to happen within 6 months of its first meeting? It has been an incredible success story, of which both our Prescott Sunup Rotary Club and this new PV Rotary Club can be justifiably proud. Pictured here are the Officers and Directors who will be leading this thriving new club. The charter paperwork has been initiated, and we will soon be announcing when our satellite club will be officially charterted by Rotary International. BTW: They have set a membership goal of having 50 club members by July 1, 2026. They have already exceeded their initiual goal of having 25 members by the time they chartered. Here is the "Who's Who" listing of PV Rotary Club's Officers and Directors who will be serving this Rotary year. PDG Don and Annette Schiller presented to the PV Rotary Club a beautiful wooden bowl, carved by former longtime PV Rotary member Jack Coffrin, to be used as a perpetual Past Club President trophy. Each year the retiring Club President will receive the carved bowl, bearing its Rotary emblem, and will be the caretaker of that bowl, until it is passed along to the next retiring Club President. It will be a great club tradition. Thanks, Don and Annette!!
