John is proud of his Scottish heritage and frequently wears Kilts to rotary events.

John represents Rotary District 5495 at the Rotary International Council on Legislation (COL).  COL is the legislative body of RI.  They convene every three years in Spring. 

On average thee are 530 Rotary Districts. Representatives are elected every 3 years.

Representatives propose resolutions or requests to the board. 

The council considers and acts on proposals which are duly submitted in accordance with the RI Bylaws. 

With the global representation from districts throughout our globe, perspectives vary and debates are  diverse.

The Interactive meeting discuss what has been voted on and accepted or rejected by the council.

In 2021- 2022, the Council on Legislation passed and rejected many proposals.

Some items were voted on last week and results are waiting to come in.

To review the proposals and learn more, go to: Rotary International Council on Legislation.

John encouraged all of us to participate in Rotary programs the fullest extent possible and keep up the great work!

Art Harrington shared this update from the  "Rotary In Review" newsletter and the amazing work that is bring done through The Rotary Foundation.

Rotary and Ukraine Friends have joined together to provide a convoy of 40 ambulances for Ukrainian officials to help deliver life-saving aid to those injured by the war.

The $600,000 initiative, $300,000 of which came from a Rotary Foundation disaster response grant, was the first joint project between the two organizations after a July agreement to collaborate.

Rotary members are also working with Ukraine Friends to rehabilitate two schools in the Bucha region damaged by shelling.

The Prez Says
Laura Vanderberg

We’re moving into that busy time of year for community service. 
 
On Friday, we’ll be participating in the annual Prescott Veteran’s Day Parade along with members of the other local Rotary Clubs.
 
I have a number of personal ties to our military- as the daughter of a sailor, the wife of a retired vet, and the sister in law of a retired vet.
 
Additionally, I am also honored to have spent years working with the Special Operations Community- it was one of the highlights of my career. 
 
Not all are called to serve in our Armed Forces. 
 
We must thank those who’ve served, and those who continue to serve, for the many freedoms this country enjoys. 
 
And we continue to owe our safety and gratitude to those who currently, and in the future will, keep watch locally and abroad. 
 
We fly the American flag proudly at our house every day. 
 
On Friday, SunUp will be passing out flags of gratitude to our Veterans who come out to the annual Prescott Veteran’s Day Parade. 
 
Please join us at our meeting on Wednesday to affix these flags with gratitude from our Club. 
 
My deepest gratitude to all who have and who continue to serve- thank you- for all you are and for all you do. 
 
And for the rest of us, let’s all take a moment to acknowledge these veterans, and the sacrifices they’ve made, for without them, we would not be living in the land of the free.
