PRESIDENT BOBBY LARSON rang the bell to open another sunny Tucson gathering, welcoming Rotarians, guests, and our virtual crew tuning in.
ERICA CANTUA led the Pledge and a spirited "You're a Grand Old Flag," with KHRIS DODGE keeping the piano keys humming.
The room paused for a Moment of Silence honoring longtime member GERRY HALLOWELL, who passed away August 1st at 87 — a Rotarian since December 2000 whose memory lives on with every member he touched, he will be missed.
We also honored the Memory of DJ JOHN who kept our Car Shows lively with his disc turning.
ALAN ROGERS lifted spirits with this week's Inspirational Moment, and SAA DRE WILLIAMS welcomed our guests.
PRESIDENT BOBBY shared Tracy's globe-trotting Cookie Monster Board adventures, then crowned this week's COOKIE MONSTER, Karen Kalm, sponsored by Altitude Home Loans.
The program spotlight went to NANCY GUNGOR, who introduced JERRY BUSTAMANTE, Hudbay's Senior Manager of Public Affairs, for an eye-opening talk on "Copper World and Copper Demand." Did you know… HUDBAY has been around for 100 years? This mine will be one of two mines in the US supplying finished copper to businesses in the US, they have been innovative in water consumption for the mine, saving eight years of water already prior to the opening of the mine and they will have over 400 new jobs not to mention the major impact the mine will have on our local economy. JERRY also signed the book titled "All About Mines: Cool Mining Facts for Kids," headed straight for the Make Way for Books library.
JIM LUBINSKI celebrated his birthday which was on July 2. Happy Birthday JIM!

Diana Madaras wrote a country song about her husband Phil’s ’67 Corvette. Rick Rose then produced the music video. You won’t believe the great Tucson scenes Rick captured and see some of our fellow Rotarians who star in the video. The song and video will be used to promote our Car Show in some very creative ways. Click on the link below to hear the song and subscribe to the channel if you want to hear many more Madaras songs to come.
