A Respectful Reminder

We're living in a time of uncertainty and divisiveness. It's truly an unparalleled time in history and in our lifetime. Now more than ever, we have to respect and protect one another. Regardless of any ideology or beliefs, SMRBA isn't a place to share or promote them. Whether it's a seemingly clever remark during a meeting, an off-handed comment in the chat, or even the unintentional subtlety of wearing a potentially offensive or demeaning T-shirt on Zoom, this is unwanted behavior.

Our mantra of "no drama and no politics" is more important than ever before. We always want you to consider SMRBA a safe place where you're free from ridicule and judgment. We're here to promote our fellow members, showcase and grow our business, and build strong and satisfying relationships. Let's all be aware, take care, and continue to support and uplift one another.

As always, we thank you for being a member of our SMRBA family.

We hope you have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend and in case it lingers over we're not having our regular SMRBA meeting Monday. Please join us Thursday for AJ and Friday for Mesa.

Cori Lee with Combs Performing Arts Center will be sharing some info about the upcoming shows with safety measures in place. And tell us more what the center is all about.

As Nancy Bella Marie reminds us, it's almost Fall Y'all. Check out her adorable hand made goodies. It's NOT too early to be thinking Christmas presents. And she does such cute things.

This is going to be a great event and honoring our fallen first responders and victims of 9/11 with a moment of silence and prayer, along with special music. 

And of course, there will be cars, arts and crafts, and lots of food trucks.  

All for an evening of fun family festivities. And be sure to bring the kiddos, our own Latex Manipulation Expert will be there, Cori Lee. She'll be twisting up some fun for the kids. 

If you want to be a vendor please contact either Lisa Jones at 307-248-3631 or Kathy Barr at 480-239-5288 to reserve your place.

Upcoming performances at Combs Performing Arts and hopefully COVID will have died out a little and we can start getting back to the things we enjoy.

And March 25th, Small Business Symposium presented by Darling Companies. More to follow.

Courage Under Cancer Foundation is Dee Baginski's 501C3. This is the first fundraiser and it's going to be a blast. We have some very eligible bachelors to possibly win a date with. And ANYONE can participate.

This is going to be a lot of fun with the money going to an amazing cause. To help people with cancer who cannot afford treatments to get the care they need.

Dee is a two-time cancer survivor and has shown us all that faith in God and the power of positivity can do. She also has a book under the same name available on Amazon.

The Rotary Club of Superstition Mountain is hosting a “People of Action” fundraiser Saturday, November 7, 2020 at Barleens in Apache Junction with a goal to raise $12,000 for the Rotary Foundation.

Doors open at 5:15 p.m. with a dinner served at 6:30 p.m. at Barleens Dinner Show, 2275 E. Old West Highway. Live entertainment is to include the Barleens “variety spectacular” show with music, comedy, impersonations and a walk down memory lane, according to a release.

SMRBA has one table currently, and SMRBA members Nancy Tossell and Nora Wiseman have stepped up and each have a table.

Money raised in Arizona and from the “People of Action” fundraiser stays in Arizona through District Grants. These grants support small-scale, short term projects. Since 2013-14 the Rotary Foundation has awarded 2,466 District Grants totaling $126.1 Million. In 2017-18, the Rotary Foundation approved 503 district grants and program awards totaling $27.4 million.
