Good morning Sunupians and Friends !
Well, The Magic Number is 3!
So, there is new and positive progress with the Foundation grants situation. At our June meeting, the BOD will be looking at creating a Foundation Chair (Hint, Hint! Nudge, Nudge!) for the coming year. This addition will help a lot to keep us on track.
We are most fortunate in that we have a great volunteer in Art Harrington who is willing to take this on, and we have at least two members interested in being on the committee to help him.
An example of Art’s great commitment to Rotary and our club, is that he jumped in, contacted, and negotiated with the District Foundation Chair to clarify our situation. It was agreed that if we could reach the $70 level by June 30, the chair would appeal to the District Governor for a special concession in our case, so our club could participate in the 2018-19 grants.
However, we may still need to hit the $125 per capita next year although Art will continue the negotiations on our behalf. So, if you are planning to make a donation or an additional donation by June 30 this year that’s great and will go a long way to boosting us for this round.
Another note: The BOD, last meeting tasked me with polling members regarding their feelings about ClubRunner (CR). I have put together a short questionnaire giving members the opportunity to give feedback on continuing CR or not. I will get it out via an email to members prior to our next meeting and bring some to the meeting for those who may miss it. Please complete it and get back to me as soon as possible.
Till next meeting my friends
Keep the Peace!

Speaker Last Week: Phil Goode introduced Bruce Roscoe, Prescott Valley photographer and President of the nonprofit Vision of Vets. Bruce is combining augmented realty technology with photography to create living portraits of individual veterans and their stories. Live video will play on your devise when you scan their portrait. He demonstrated the embedded stories for Peter, WWII French Medal of Honor Recipient, Jesse Keller and Chrash, and John McKinney. Bruce is developing a book titled “Portraits of Courage and Conviction” which has portraits he has taken of veterans and reenactors for various wars dating back to the 1700s. The living portraits are available to families and friends in remembrance of those who gave so much for our freedom. Bruce has also taken his living portraits into the Prescott Valley schools as a way of teaching history to the next generation.
