A Great Christmas Gift Idea!

Dear Fellow Members: Many of you know about the project Chava and have been working on over the past year to raise funds to help build a public library in Rwanda. When complete the library will be the first in the country and one of the few public libraries in this part of the world. Imagine that!

What you may not know is how a friend in California donated to our club over 300 coffee mugs with the design above to help us raise funds for the project. He wants us to get $25 for each mug as a tax deductible contribution to the Rotary Club of West El Paso Foundation to be earmarked for the Rwanda Public Library. If we can give out these mugs at $25 each to people who donate (including donations from members) we could raise over $7,500! Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? If not consider getting one or more mugs to help finish the library and spread the word about how our club cares about people around the world. Better yet if you are looking for a tax write off for yourself or your business consider getting a case of 59 mugs, the number of mugs per case.

I have six cases all together. Let me know if you want some mugs. I have over a case in my car or I can deliver to your home or office.

  • Bernalillo Fundraiser at the Tamaya resort

For anyone that enjoys a great night out: The Bernalillo Coronado Rotary Club is putting on a charitable event. It's the night before the Wine Festival, at the Hyatt Tamaya Resort. We believe it a great way to start the weekend and possibly a great new tradition. Fortunately for us all, the Tamaya has made a commitment to the community for about a third of what it would normally cost to have a formal sit down dinner. That's a great contribution!  1st Community Bank and a surprising amount of others have committed to buy tables at this event, maybe some of you can too? Or, you're in need of a nice evening, just the two of you? It's an effort to raise money for the purchase of a passenger van or vans, for youth programs in Bernalillo. As the new President of the local Rotary Club I thought I should contact you, as our event draws near. This will be on Friday the 31st of August 2007 at 6PM, dinner at 7PM with Al Hurricane to provide 4 hours of entertainment starting at 8PM. The tickets are $100.00 per person with all after expense proceeds going to the purchase of transportation for after school programs. This evening is simply a very good value for all in our community. To purchase tickets and for more information we have built a website just for this event: www.dinnerforyouth.org Ray Jecklin, President  Bernalillo Coronado Rotary
