Our Home Hospitality events begin April 16th and go through the 22nd. These social events will replace our Wednesday, April 19th lunch meeting. We want to thank all the members who have graciously volunteered to open up their homes and host an event. This a wonderful way to relax, meet fellow Rotarians outside of the lunch meeting and have some fun!
April 12th we will be doing something different than in the past. We are doing our first MIX & MINGLE. During the Club Assemblies as well as the survey, members stated that one of the greatest values was to be able to network with other members. They also stated that given how structured our meetings run, that it was hard to really get to know other members better given the time constraints.

Accelerating America's Adantage at Sea provides a brief, strategic overview of the Navy; its missions, equipment and personnel, and disposition around the world. America has always been a maritime nation. The seas are the lifeblood of our economy, national security, and our way of life. American sea power, combined with the dedication of our allies and partners has guaranteed freedom of navigation, maintained peace, and fostered a rules-based order grounded in fairness for all. As global challengers rise to threaten U.S. interests, America must maintain maritime dominance. Maintaining the world’s best Navy is an investment in the security and prosperity of the United States, as well as the stability of our world. Since our Nation’s founding, the U.S. Navy has stood watch to protect America’s economic vitality, sustain our influence, support our allies and partners, deter conflict, and when called upon, win in combat. America remains a global leader with global interests. Households and businesses throughout the United States benefit from the steady flow of resources and goods across the oceans. Our modern economy depends on access to the internet, which rides on undersea fiber-optic cables. As we look to the future, our economic and national security will continue to rely upon unrestricted seaborne trade, unimpeded access to markets, and a free and open rules-based order.
Transparency, and accountability are such important goals of The People’s Office that they are included their Core Values.

As cross currents buffet the Arizona economy, it looks different depending on the lens used to view it. The labor market remains very tight, generating strong job gains, low unemployment rates, rapid wage increases, and a mountain of open jobs. At the same time, retail sales has begun to slow, inflation far exceeds income growth, housing affordability has plunged, and interest rates are rising.
