Thanks to Parshalla Wood for creating, with the assistance of Marsha Teller, the very helpful 4-month Calendar of Events and Service Projects, which was distributed at the beginning of our monthly Sunup Time meeting last Wednesday. This gave us "a track to run on" for the rest of the meeting, enabling us to see and discuss all of the good times that are coming, including service projects, leadership training, fundraising and fellowship events.
Plan to join us on March 25 for our next Sunup Time meeting.
President-Elect Russ Davis, in his comments last Wednesday, emphasized the importance of the individual Rotary club, and why each Rotary club need to have all of these elements, in order to be a vibrant and attractive club,which members of our community will want to join.

YOUTH SERVICE
Interact District Governor Derrick Boateng presented the coveted Video Contest Winner traveling plaque to our Prescott High School Interact Club on Saturday. This was the second year in a row that our PHS Interact Club took First Place in the annual districtwide contest. 213 Interactors and Advisors registered for this year's conference, which was held at the Gateway Commuinity College in Phoenix.
Another anticipated feature of the conference each year is the dramatic revealing of the identities of the Interact Ambasasdors who have been selected to represent our Interact and Rotary districts in Mexico and Kenya this summer. It was announced that two of the members of the Kenya Team, and one member of the Mexico Team, are from the Prescott HS Interact Club. We will have more about these three Interact Ambassadors from Prescott in next week's newsletter.
