Veterans Day Recognition
Veterans Services Chair, Rob Schaefer recognizes Club members, who are veterans.

Rob took a few minutes at the beginning of the Nov. 5 meeting to review the military service of each of the five veterans currently in the club:

  • Rob Schaefer
  • Gary Thie
  • Paul Butler
  • Bob Burns
  • David Gill
Paul Butler indicates a patch he earned for 300 successful aircraft carrier landings.

The accomplishments of these mild mannered Rotarian are quite impressive. Paul Butler, for example, displayed a patch he earned in recognition of 300 aircraft carrier landings. As Rob pointed out on another occasion, “Those guys' landing strips move around.”

This is a very busy week for Vets' Services. The Veterans Raffle tent needs to be staffed Tuesday, Nov. 10 - Thursday, Nov. 12. Contact Rob or go to Volunteersignup.org to pick one or more time slots. Also, Nov. 11 at 10 am is the annual Veterans Program at Sedona Winds. All are welcome to attend.

 

 

SBA Disaster Loan Programs
Phil Walls from the Small Business Administration

In a timely program, Phil Walls spoke at the November 5 meeting about the SBA Disaster Loans Program. Phil is in the area due to the business impact of the flooding and creek problems resulting from last summer's Pocket Fire. However in light of last weekend's flooding he expanded the scope of the presentation to include SBA loans for individuals, whose homes were impacted by Oak Creek and Verde River flooding.

SBA loans are offered at much lower interest rates than those from traditional lenders, who need to build a company profit into the income from loan repayment. 

Over the Nov. 1 weekend many homes as well as businesses were impacted by flooding. Phil indicated that it will take a couple of weeks to have that area of impact recognized as a disaster area, but when it is, then a below market rate loan program will be available to individuals to repair or replace damaged homes.
