President
Martie said that the Aramark Corp. contacted her concerning our interest in
running a food stand at the Tempe Diablo Stadium. We would run a beer & hot dog stand. It was felt that if we could join with
another Rotary Club, we could manage the time and ‘manpower’ commitment.

Speaker: GSE team traveled to Japan
Japan
is quite an honor and very intense. Social & cultural issues and projects were not “advertised”. In the Japanese culture, they do not believe in taking “credit” for altruistic behavior, and did not show Rotary projects. Michael also noted that at every Rotary meeting, there was a Welcoming party, and a Goodbye party. He stated that his favorite experience was being able to discuss political issues and history with the Japanese. Michael is a computer programmer, e-commerce. The cultural exchange was a positive experience for him, and we all appreciate his ability to be such a wonderful ambassador for Rotary and for America
