A Special Presentation πŸ†
Cameron and Jamie honored John with a special presentation for Jo, the Jo Navaretta Scholarship. Jo and John have given so much to our community! Jo dedicated 24 years to the Governing Board in Education, served on the Mohave Community College Foundation, and was part of the campaign to bring ASU to Lake Havasu City. What a legacy! πŸ™Œ

Guest Speaker: Water in Our City πŸ’§
We welcomed Tim Kellet from Lake Havasu City Public Works (Water Division), who shared some great insight:
🚰 32,000 water service connections citywide
🏠 The City is responsible for all water reaching our property
πŸ“‰ They are targeting water loss. The industry standard for water loss is 10% or less, we're at 8.9%!
πŸ”§ They also track where main breaks are located. The industry is 20-22%, and we are running 15.8 in 2024 and 12.4 in 2025 per 100 miles of water.
πŸ’° The water budget is $40M, with 24% going toward replacing older water mains
♻️ Replacing the older water meters helps to reduce water loss

Our water company is a city-owned business, and the rate we pay is a service to receive the water at our property.

Fundraising Fun 🎩
Taylor stepped back up as Sergeant at Arms to raise money for our club socials!

πŸŽ‰ Rotary Fun

Taylor wrapped up the meeting as Sergeant-at-Arms, and congratulations to Andy Ganas, whose name was drawn today. While Andy took home the drawing prize, the Ace of Spades remained hidden, so the jackpot continues to grow! πŸ’°

President Cameron kicked off the meeting with a warm welcome and introduction to our guests! We had family members joining us, plus Tom and Gloria, Andy's office manager (who's looking to join Rotary πŸ‘€), and our wonderful Interact students. πŸŽ‰

πŸ™ Taylor led us in a beautiful Gratitude Moment.

πŸ“… Mark your calendars:
πŸ”₯ Fireside Chat – July 30th at Red Robin. A great way to learn more about Rotary and how to get involved!
πŸ“‹ Board Meeting – Wednesday, July 22nd at Rebel

πŸ‘ Past President Becky presented our contribution to the Trash Bag Program with the Marine Association, and handed out Board member gifts and thank yous to those who couldn't make it to dinner. She also gave us an update on our Veteran Baskets project. Huge thanks to Sterilite for donating 24 laundry baskets to fill for our returning Veterans! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

πŸ’œ Today's program featured Mary VanRoy and Kimberly Zanon from CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), an organization that supports foster care children. Empower Her House is a new program that is looking for volunteers.

Not all the kids get a CASA representative. It is a very confidential program and requires a lot of training, lots of notes and reports with the judge, all in the best interest of the child.

Mary has been a CASA volunteer for 28 years. She has seen so much success through the program. Mary loves teaching the kids to ride horses, hike, and enjoy the outdoors. 🐴🌲

Kimberly updated us on Housing 928, which is breaking ground, and it is for teen girls.🏑

πŸ˜„ And of course, Sergeant at Arms Taylor did his best to raise funds by fining all of us for silly little things!

Great meeting, great people, great cause. πŸ’›
