Meeting Recap 02/22/17
 
The Rotary Club of Palmdale conducted their weekly meeting at Sizzler’s Restaurant in Palmdale on 22 February 2017.  The meeting was called to order by President Chuck Church at 6:35 PM.  Members in attendance were: Sharon Freeman, Sam Garcia, Janice Garcia, David Maddock, Tina Borzage, Roseanna Budd, Chuck Church and guests Valerie Lensing and Colleen Sawyer.   Everyone enjoyed dinner.  The formal meeting began at 6:55.   
 
The first order of business was to introduce Valerie Lensing (Special Education Instructor) and Colleen Sawyer (Principal at the Palmdale Discovery Center) and present them a check from the Club to support their upcoming projects at Manzanita Elementary School and the Palmdale Discovery Center.  The projects include bringing in a guest to entertain the special needs students at the two schools.  The guest will be a professional bubble blower who will entertain and amaze the children in a very friendly and fun-like atmosphere.  President Chuck Church presented Valerie and Colleen with the check from Palmdale Rotary.  Valerie and Colleen were very appreciative and thankful for the support provided by the Club.
 
Barbara Frazier has established the date of March 9th for the joint meeting of students, parents and Rotary Club members to discuss the upcoming RYLA camp event.  The meeting will take place at 6:00 PM at Lancaster High School. 
 
The Rotary Super Build 2017 will take place on May 6th in Tecate, Mexico.  Tina Borzage will be attending the Super Build project from our Club.  The cost per volunteer is $240.  Tina is willing to cover her cost but has asked if the Club would be willing to donate additional funds?  It was decided that the Club would vote on contributing additional funds at the Board Meeting.
 
The Club’s upcoming Spring Blowout Sale is scheduled for April 9, 2017 at Four Points.    Joyce Bruce (Owner) will see that we get a very good location if not the same location as the last two years.  Everyone needs to continue to gather goods for the sale.
 
The First Annual Federal Career Day is set for March 10th at Antelope Valley College from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.  Chuck, Tina and Janice will be supporting the event from the Palmdale Rotary Club.  Door prizes have been assembled and monetary support will be made available if required.
