Village Club's Tee Up Fore Big Park events big success
Rotarian Jan Groves led a debriefing of the series of Tee Up Fore Big Park Events during the club’s Oct. 12 meeting. She announced the events netted about $42,000 for Big Park School and the Imagination Library. Congratulations all around for a very successful first Village Satellite fundraiser! Meeting attendees were asked to write comments on large sheets of paper labeled “Good,” “Bad” and “Ugly.” Then club members broke into groups to make lists of the comments and what can be done to improve the events next time. The school and PTSA will also have a chance to add their input. In photo (L-R): Harv Grady, Rob Schaefer, Stacy Beck and Jennette Bill.

Only Six Bashas' Cards available--another way to support your club
Dick Youngberg reports he has six Bashas' Community cards left. The cards function as debit cards. You load them with money and use them to make all your Bashas' purchases. When you use your card the club gets six percent of the value of your transactions. Cards are pre-loaded with $20, so that is your price to purchase. The club receives about $1,000 each year from this program. Please let family members and others know this is another way they can support our efforts. Come on new members, get your Bashas' card and support your club. It really is free money! Contact Dick at ryoungberg5@gmail.com or 928-282-3800.
