Dear Rotarians,
I just got done attending the District Training for all the Rotary Clubs in our District. We have so many talented leaders and trainers! All of the areas covered will be available to anyone who would like more information on almost any aspect of the functions of a Rotary Club!! Marga also attended and we tried to coordinate the sessions we took so that we covered most of the material that might be most important to our Club.
Hearing from the People's Self Help Housing group this past week was very rewarding. In my career in the appliance industry I worked with several builders who were involved with building and heading up Self Help Housing projects. My company (Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana and Jenn Air) was able to write contracts for appliances at very low margins that kept these homes affordable. The families involved in these builds put in great amounts of "sweat equity" to make their dreams come true!
This week we will hear from Nate Moss, the Principal of Delta High School, and the special need that this institution fills in our community!
Remember to sign up for the wine and dessert fund raiser coming up on May 5th!! Nancy Crawford is leading this for us and has a sign up sheet available. We need everyone involved to make this a success!!
Service Above Self.
James Stoddard

Sunshine Report
As far as we know, everyone is happy and healthy.
If you want to know who was the President of our club when the "Rotary Anns" were formed, then go to the club website and you will find that Susan Rees has posted the history books of the first 75 years of our club.
Maricopa Update
Last week Homer Higgenbottom and Januvius Winterbottom met at the local coffee shop to discuss local law enforcement. Homer asked, "What has been going on with you this week?" Januvius answered, "I had a little run in with the local law enforcement." Homer inquired, "Did they give you a ticket because you had that manikin in your truck so you could try to fool people into thinking there were two of you in the truck so you could then drive faster than anyone else in the car pool lane?" "No," replied Januvius, "I got pulled over for driving 5 miles per hour over the speed limit. The officer came to the window and asked to see my driver's license. I gave it to him and he informed me, "You're supposed to be wearing glasses." I said, "I have contacts." He glared at me, "I don't care who you know. I'm still giving you a ticket for going 5 miles per hour over the speed limit."
