On March 10th, some of the Four Peaks Rotary Club in Fountain Hills Arizona USA Rotarians (Sandy, Jim, Dave, Jerry, Julie and President Todd Harris) had a FUN day participating with serving their famous pretzels at the Fountain Hills Falcons 1st (Ignaurgal) Staff Picnic 2023.  It was a pleasure to meet some of the FH Educators, Administrators, Governing Board and staff of the Fountain Hills School District! We were honored to sponsor their community school event and we look forward to next year! Thank you Rotarians and FHUSD!  https://www.fountainhillsschools.org/

Four Peaks Rotarians providing helping hands at the Annual Food Packaging Event at the Community Center on March 2, 2023. Joining the Four Peaks Rotary club were members of The Rotary Club of the Verdes. Great evening spent with the community packing 275-285 grams of healthy meals.

Meals will be distributed locally to the Extended Hands Food Bank of Fountain Hills, AZ Brainfood, which serves school children in the Valley, Native American Urban Ministry and Native American Connections.

In addition, meals will also be distributed internationally by the Food for Kidz organization, wherever the meals are needed for victims of disaster, wars or unrest. This year’s meals will be sent to Ukraine, Haiti and Honduras.

On Saturday, February 11, 2023 the 1st Annual Fountain Hills Community Health Fair was held by Four Peaks Rotarian Debbie Clason of Clason Communications in efforts to support Healthy Fountain Hills lifestyles and health awareness for the Fountain Hills Community! Exhibitors, Educational Presentations, Blood Mobile and MOM (Mammogram Mobile) made for an outstanding afternoon at the FHUSD Learning Center.  Congratulations Debbie for a well-attended community event and project for you club Rotarians. 
 
 
Four Peaks Rotary participates at the annual Activities & Volunteer EXPO on January 25, 2023 at the Community Center sharing their message with the community, recruit new members and network with   other clubs and organizations in town. Attendees learn about Rotary opportunities, gather information  and speak to club representatives Todd Harris (President), Julie Ewald (President-Elect), and John Gianotti   (Foundation Member). A wonderful time spent with the Community of Fountain Hills! 

To think there are thousands of people living in Arizona without access to basic plumbing and clean, running water is unimaginable. But that is precisely the case for the Navajo Nation, located in parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.

In 2019 Jeff Poynter was optimistic that the project fits well with Four Peaks Rotary’s vision. “We’re a club that wants to help as many people as possible. This is a tremendous opportunity for Four Peaks Rotary to step up and really make a difference in many lives.”

DigDeep was able to install nine home water systems to Navajo families in Dilkon before the pandemic brought the project to a halt. Dilkon is a town on the Navajo Nation located in Northeastern Arizona. Below, Rotarian Project Champion, Paul Perreault and 2022-2023 President Todd Harris on location with the DigDeep team.  Future updates coming in Spring of 2023
  
 
 
Back in 2019, Four Peaks Rotary President-elect Jeff Poynter (left) and Rotary International project coordinator Jim Bissonet shared Rotary’s plan to initiate underground cistern systems to hundreds of homes in the Navajo Nation. Four Peaks Rotary is hopeful of becoming a part of this Rotary International effort to supply clean water and electricity to the Navajo Nation.  
 

A wonderful evening at FireRock Country Club celebrating the successes of 2022 with fellow Rotarians.  In addition to celebrating the 25th club year, the club also celebrated the year of giving by distributing over a $100,000 to local and global non-profits and people in need.  Congratulations Four Peaks Rotarians, cheers to a prosperous 2023 and next 25 years!  See our FaceBook Reels highlights.
