Members of the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North again  participated in the Adopt a  Road day with the City of Scottsdale.  www.scottsdalez.gov.   The City can always use new volunteers to adopt a road!

Rotarians helping out in their community!

The Rotary Club of Scottsdale North generously donated to the Kids Need To Read program, a Mesa, Arizona-based non-profit organization that provides books and literacy programs to disadvantaged children across the United States to foster a love of reading and improve literacy rates and we received a thank you letter from them reading in part:

“We sincerely thank you for your generous donation to Kids Need to Read. Your support is instrumental in fostering a love for reading among children and empowering them with the gift of knowledge.

Because of donors like you, we are able to provide invaluable literacy resources to children facing challenging circumstances. Your donation will not only put books into their hands but also open doors to learning, imagination, and a brighter future. The skills they develop through reading will stay with them for a lifetime, helping to shape their education and opportunities. “

Members from the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North recently volunteered at the Sleep in Heavenly Peace Workshop, where they helped build 127 children's beds from scratch that will be donated to children whose families cannot afford furniture.  SHP's motto is "No child sleeps on the floor in our town".  To date, SHP has built and donated over 15,000 children's beds throughout the greater Phoenix area, including the Hopi and Navajo Nations.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace will be featured at the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North's upcoming fundraiser "Bingo Night," on Friday, November 13th, 2026 at the Holland Center in North Scottsdale.  Please visit the club's website, www.rotaryscottsdalenorth.org, for tickets and more information or use the QR code on the attached flyer.

We had another very interesting meeting last night at the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North.

Our guest speaker was Nick Taylor, RI Club and District Support Officer for North America. Nick spoke about ways to engage people in communications and activities, including generating smiles among the participants. He mentioned that Rotary International now has over 46,000 clubs in 200 countries and 1.4 million members worldwide.

After Nick’s presentation, we drew numbers to go on our board for our Club’s Super Bowl pool drawing. Good luck to all who participated! A  portion  of the money collected will go into our Club’s Foundation.
