Fellow Rotarians,
This week’s meeting is our bimonthly trash cleanup at Buena Vista Park, so please plan to meet there at noon. Also, please note that this week begins Rotary’s Week of Service, and this Saturday at 9:00 a.m. (April 22) our club is joining the breakfast and evening clubs for service projects at the Rotary Centennial Park. There, our club’s project is to add and level new bark in the playground. You may want to bring gloves and a shovel, and don’t forget to bring sunscreen, water, and a hat as well. We will likely finish before noon, and there is opportunity to bring a lunch and visit with our fellow Rotarians afterwards. I look forward to seeing you there!

Maricopa Update
Last week Homer Higgenbottom and Januvius Winterbottom met at the local coffee shop to discuss changes. Januvius started, "I'm not understanding people these days. Men want to become women. Women want to become men. It seems that everyone wants to be something else." Homer responded, "I think a lot of people are unhappy about who they are, so they think they will be happy if they become something different." Januvius said, "I'm not really unhappy with who I am, but I think I would be a lot happier if I were Ryan Reynolds. I think I could be really happy if I had his fame, his money, and his looks." Homer answered, "There are a couple of things wrong with that. Fame and good looks are so fleeting, and money won't make you happy. Besides that is such a violation of the Four Way Test." Januvius said, "You're right." He paused for a few seconds then asked, "How about if I were George Clooney?" Homer quickly responded, "I already claimed him!"
