A hardy group of Rotarian's met early last Saturday to partner with other Oracle volunteers and clean up American Ave. Ed Lueck, John and Linda Howard, Jim Fry, Ken Castner and Liese Razzeto enjoyed a wonder breakfast provided by the Oracle Community Center after the event.
Wendy Guyton, Membership Chair had the honor of inducting 4 new members into The Rotary Club of SaddleBrooke at Thursdays meeting. Youu will find bios for Ken and Leslie Castner, Tom Shellenberger and Bill Olfert in the link above this story.
Wanda Bailey, Club Services Chairman did an excellent job facilitating a half day planning session for our board of directors. The board focused on issues that will get us through the last half of our Rotary year. One important decision made was that it was unanimously voted that we will move the next Fore for Kids Golf Tournament to April of 2024.

What an exciting time of year!
Congratulations to all of our members who are actively helping our community. We are distributing food the first Wednesday of each month in Oracle. We are also preparing bags of food for seniors, and recently packaged up baskets of essentials for Seniors at home alone, in Oracle. Also our members were helping organize games at the annual Christmas party at the Oracle Community Center. Again this year we have been collecting food for the families in Oracle who have a difficult time at Christmas. We also partnered with the Elks Club in Catalina to provide gifts for the kids in San Manuel !
We had over 20 members attend the annual Wreaths Across America in Marana. Afterwards we met with 20 other Rotarians from the Oro Valley, Marana, Dove Mountain, and Saddlebrooke Sunrise clubs.
Our annual Holiday dinner / dance a few days ago was a great success. A highlight of that evening was recognizing Jim Pfeifer as an Honorary member of our club. Jim is the last charter member of our club, and has served as President, and also helped establish our Foundation and served as President of the foundation. We look forward to Jim and his wife Pepper continuing to attend all of our functions.
Please take time to enjoy the holidays with those close to you. You all deserve a rest. Thank you for doing so well at serving our community.
I look forward to several new ventures in 2023, more about that later !
Yours in Rotary,
Gordon
