Message from Renata Barnwell

Richard and I want to wish the members & spouses of The Rotary Club of Sedona a Happy, Healthy Holiday season. You all will be in our hearts always. We realize what a treasure each and every one of you are. Thank you for your love and appreciation. California is only one state away..

Sincerely,

Richard & Renata Barnwell

Above & Beyond Award

Dick Youngberg Receives Above and Beyond Award

Club President Tim Ernster presented Dick Youngberg with December's Above and Beyond Award. Not only did Dick Contribute to a very successful USA/Mexico Friendship Conference in Sedona as Chair of the International Committee, he also stepped in as Foundation Chair in Merv Shapin's absence. In the position of Foundation Chair Dick realized there were several Rotarians close to a second or more Paul Harris Award and organized the gift of several PHF medallions to spouses of Rotarians at the annual Holiday Party.

Special Service Above Self Honor

Richard and Renata Barnwell received a special award for having contributed so much to the Rotary Club. This year Renata has headed up the PR Committee in addition to Club Administration, which includes scheduling speakers for the meetings, planning and locating the Holiday and Installation events. Richard has co-chaired the Chili Cook-off, regularly chefs the Sedona Suppers and helped to coordinate the very successful Hoedown for the USA/Mexico Friendship Conference. Richard and Renata have also been honored for their contributions to District 5490.

Unfortunately, Richard and Renata are moving back to their house in California. They will be sorely missed.

Adopt A Family Project

Thank you to all the generous Rotarians who contributed gifts and money for our adopted family of eight! Each child in the family received at least two gifts. The family also received nearly $500 in gift cards. The following was received today from the Food Bank:

"The father and son came in late last night to pick up the booty of gifts. You and your club hit it out of the park. The father broke down with the generosity extended by your club.

Thank you and have a blessed Christmas,

Cathleen"
