This presentation captivated our Rotary Group. TEP and Solar Energy - a commitment to Arizona! Betsy informed us of many of the ideas that TEP is working on to encourage home owners and businesses to incorporate Solar Energy, for both conservation and for financial benefits. Please visit TEP's website discussing some of the programs and energy efficient ideas that TEP will incorporate in the near future. As a concerned consumer of energy, you really need to view these website links and understand how this will help both our environment and our future!
The Cub Scout Pack #221 bake sale was a huge success! Thanks to Rotarian's contributions, $398 was raised! The money will be used to defer the costs of the annual Blue and Gold Celebration. This celebration is to acknowledge the anniversary of scouting and this year they will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Scouting. Scouts and their families gather to celebrate this joyous occasion! This year the theme is "Under the Big Top" and scouts will design table decorations and perform skits using this theme. Other entertainment will consist of having clowns for the scouts and their siblings. This event will also be used to award all scouts who have completed the required achievement to meet their rank! With your help the event is sure to be a success! Thank you again for your generous contributions! Teresa Hill- Assistant Principal -Flowing Wells High School
