With a new Rotary International President, Francesco Arezzo, an Orthodontist from the Rotary Club of Ragusa, Italy, on July 1 Rotary clubs around the world turned the page and began a new year. The Presidential Message for this 2025-26 Rotary Year is "Unite for Good." Francesco is calling on Rotary members to be a force for unity in a world increasingly divided by politics, geography and ideology. Through our service projects, Rotarians are able to bring together people of every background — across races, religions and professions — in a shared mission to do good in their own communities, as well as in other communities around the world. Is this cool, or what?! PDG Art Harrington juat installed this new Rotary license plate on his car. Thanks to the persistent efforts of several of our District 5495 Rotarians, headed by Stephen Phair, Past Club President of the Rotary Club of Sun Lakes, when it's time to renew the Arizona registration on your vehicle, you now have the option of ordering one of the new Rotary license plates for your car. The $25 per year cost actually returns $15 of that fee to our Rotary district. There is also an addtional $25 charge if you want to display a personalized message on your plate. Who will be the next member of our club to get one of these Rotary licanse plates for your car? Take a photo of it, and we will be happy to include it in the next issue of The Sunupian. Help us spread Rotary's "Service Above Self" message wherever you drive!

COMMUNITY SERVICE These are Prescott area Rotarians who combined their efforts to serve as bartenders for Prescott's World's Oldest Rodeo over the July 4th weekend. The tips received are all going toward the service projects of the parttcipating Rotary Clubs. Thanks to all who assisted with this community service project. YOUTH SERVICE Wrapped in their colorful Maasai shukas, our 2025 Interact Ambassadors Team is seen here Jumping for Joy in Kenya. During the Interactors' first week in Kenya, they are immersed in the culture of the Maasai tribe, As part of their service, they deliver school supplies they have brought with them to the Maasai children. In addition, each of them have the opportunity to teach one of the classes in a school they visit. They also get to spend part of their time in the Maasai Mara game preserve. I'm writing a book about the things I ought to get done. It's my oughtabiography. __ My neighbor couldn’t afford his water bill, So I sent him a get well soon card. __ I got booted from the coffee club Because I wore a tea shirt. __ Boarding school taught me How to get on an airplane. __ Inspecting mirrors is a job I could really see myself doing. __ To make a long story short I became an editor. __ I went to the paint store to get thinner. It didn’t work. __ I wanted to marry a Carbon 14 expert But all she wanted to do was date. __ It doesn’t make any cents, But volunteering is rewarding. __ |
