At the recent Satellite meeting Kim Helm and Dave Anderson presented two of our Satellite members with Paul Harris Awards.  Sondra Carpenter, accompanied by her mother, Cheryl Strotz, was honored with a Paul Harris Award for her role as our current Satellite Chair.  Marilyn Strube was honored with a Paul Harris Award for her continuing work heading up many of our community service projects.  Both awards were a surprise and well deserved.

Bring a Guest Day

November 30

The Membership Committee has designated our meeting on  November 30  as “Bring A Guest Day”.  The  speaker will be Danielle Casey, the President & CEO of Albuquerque Regional Economic Alliance.  If you know anyone that would like to learn more about creating a prosperous and diverse economy for the Albuquerque Metro area ask them to join us for lunch and this presentation.    Ms. Casey will surely be a great speaker,  and this will be an  excellent opportunity for you to bring a prospective new member to an exciting and educational Rotary meeting.
