Documenting his August 2 attendance at the Summit County Colorado Rotary Club, Gary Meyers begins his 26th year as a Rotarian with perfect attendance.
Visiting other clubs has enabled him to keep his perfect attendance record while away from home and enriched his knowledge of the many ways Rotarians serve their communities and the world! Congratulate Gary by visiting our facebook page and commenting on his post.

Our club learned about the variety of rescue operations required in Mohave County, and the diverse terrain served in the 6th largest county in the US (excluding Alaska). Logistics for the team are further challenged by the physical barrier dividing the county since the northern area is on the opposite side of the Grand Canyon. Important information for those who enjoy four-wheeling in the dessert:
1. Let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return.
2. Take your cell phone with you, but realize you may not have service in remote areas.
4. Take lots of sunscreen, water and extra non-perishable food.
3. If you have an accident or run out of fuel, stay with your vehicle.
If the team has to send air surveillance to look for you, it will be much easier to spot your vehicle than it will be to spot an individual.
Looking at the bottom image, their body language makes it difficult to imagine that these members were waiting in line to pay "happy bucks!"

Quilts may be utilitarian objects, but Rod Buffington’s “quilt paintings” – watercolors on paper that are then covered with small bits of fabric – are geometrics where mathematics and whimsy intersect.

His voilà moment came as he beheld the mesmerizing quilts made by his grandmother, who lived to 104 and continued her craft until she was 98. To create his works, Buffington lays cotton fabric over paintings he has created, then hand-...

It’s 3 a.m. on a Sunday, and Katheryne Rosa Barazorda Cuellar is up, preparing to work in her mother’s soup stall in the small Peruvian town of Anta, near the Inca capital of Cusco. Smart and seemingly indefatigable, she has a quick smile and infectious laugh.
Rosa is studying to be a chemical engineer, and she has unmistakable talent and drive. She needs them. Poverty, gender bias, and violence darken the lives of many young Peruvian women, including her.
Rosa is lucky, though. Her family supports her. And for the past four years, so has Visionaria...
More than 6,000 Rotary members in 154 countries reported on their experiences with the new grant model as part of an evaluation during the 2015-16 Rotary year. The results will help us improve the grant process and learn what impact the Foundation's global grants have on our areas of focus.
