Our program speaker, Roger Pfeuffer, the founding board member of Friends of Tucson Birthplace (FOTB), received a spirited Rotary welcome. FOTB is focused on the recreation of Tucson’s Birthplace known as Tucson Origins Heritage Park. “Mission Garden’s primary mission is to preserve, transmit and revive the region’s rich agricultural heritage by growing garden plots representative of more than 4000 years of continuous cultivation in the Tucson Basin.” Rotarians are encouraged to visit the garden where the seasonal bounty can be sampled and over 72 variety of birds and various local animals abound and may be seen frolicking in any of the three functioning gardens.
The Gem Show is back in town at the TCC, and since the show needs all available space at the TCC, the Westward Look will be hosting our lunch meetings on January 26th and February 2nd. Please mark your calendars for these two meetings.
The Rotary Club of Tucson will be holding a Blood Drive during our February 16th lunch meeting at the TCC. The American Red Cross is in need of your help and they will be available between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Please contact Mike Sagara at 
Hello Rotarians,
If you have a new addition to your Family whether it be a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, etc., for a “Happy Jackson” and one minute of mic time at an upcoming meeting, not only do you get a stuffed animal, but also you will receive a certificate welcoming them in as a Rotary Club of Tucson potential new member. You may pick a stuffed bear or hound dog for your little one (pictured here). And, the original purchase of these stuffed animals helped St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. So reach out to the Rotary Office for details. We'd love to hear of your new additions to your Family!
There are only 21 opportunities that remain before the end of Irv’s Centennial year. You will not want to miss the chance to showcase your fish, or better yet your Kids and Grandkids with a fish! Don’t let the Wall of Fame escape you. Join these other folks who have made it to the Wall of Fame and donated to Rotary charities. Please reach out to Dorinna or Irv for all the details.
