Greetings Rotarians and Friends,
There will be a club assembly at this week’s meeting, July 30, where we will discuss our recent projects, review our goals for the upcoming year, and brainstorm new initiatives to further our mission of service above self. Your participation and input are crucial as we work together to make a positive impact in our community. We look forward to seeing you there!
🌮 Did I mention there will be tacos? And enchiladas? Mexican food doesn’t grow on trees, ya know, so please bring a few bucks to chip in for the meal. And if you want more Taco Tuesdays, make a suggestion at the meeting! 🌮
The Strive to Thrive resilience ropes course passed inspection and is ready to go for the upcoming semester! All we need to do now is train some instructors, and do you know how we do that? With your support! Contact Alison Pannell for more info.
RYLA 2024 wrapped up this week. Highlights included emotional intelligence workshops by Dr. Carol Flinchbaugh, inspirational talks by trailblazers like Bequi and Amity Livingston, and practical financial literacy sessions by Guadalupe Credit Union. Campers engaged in challenging high ropes courses, team-building exercises, and creative competitions like the RYLA Olympics. Daily routines featured structured meals and social activities, fostering community and discipline. The camp concluded with recognition for outstanding contributions, but its impact on our future leaders will last a lifetime.
Yours in Rotary,
James Wernicke, Service Chair

Service Opportunities
Ruidoso Fire Relief
We have received inquiries from clubs and members eager to know how they can contribute. We believe the most effective approach for our district is to send donations directly to the Ruidoso Club’s Foundation. This will enable the Ruidoso Rotarians to allocate funds to where and when they are most needed. Your willingness to help and participate fills us with pride. Please send your donations to the address provided below, and they will be forwarded to the President of the Ruidoso Club.
