Community Service Committee:
We heard about exciting programs for the year. Our signature project for the club was presented: a community garden on the grounds of Big Park School! Heather will present to the school board on July 7 and we'll hope for a positive vote and to move forward with this project that will unite our community and create wonderful opportunities for health, nature, finance, and more.
The FUNdraising Committee is looking forward to the return of the Grocery Grab in the coming year as well as an all new event: 100 Holes of Golf on November 7.
Players will get pledges. 1/3 of the proceeds will benefit Special Olympics, specifically the golf team, and 2/3 will go to our club and help with projects like the new community garden.
Under Miki's leadership we can look forward to more press, a Sedona Chamber of Commerce membership, ClubRunner sponsorship opportunities, and so much more. We can't wait to see our club in the paper this coming year!
Holly shared ideas to engage with the Interact Club, Rotaract Club of NAU, we have our fingers crossed for the return of Missoula Children's Theatre next summer, as well as a Summer Enhancement Program. Youth Salute is the new opportunity for our club to sponsor and received unanimous approval.
Other Committees:
We also heard from the membership committee and were reminded that recruiting is up to all of us.
The administrative committee shared the logistics of the club, and the fact that dues are spent through this committee.
