Marc Snow, Rotary District 5500 Assistant Governor joined us at the SaddleBrooke Ranch House for a very interesting discussion about the  Arizona Rotary Vocation Fund.  We were all excited to learn about the great program this organization does promoting vocational careers by offering scholarships.  It is an approved Arizona tax credit charity.  Thanks Marc!

On Thursday, July 15 we enjoyed a presentation by Les and Leslie Brown and Stephen Argentati for Oracle Land and Homes.  They gave us an update of the local real estate markets.  A highlight of the presentation was a Trivia Game Card which served to find out just how much we know about the current real estate market in our communities.
