On Thursday December 9th our members, Amigos, and guests will celebrate the holidays with a gala Christmas Dinner and Dance.  
 
The Holidays are wonderful times.  This year we are looking forward to a very special time as we continue to recover from COVID.  Let us all remember all those whose families have been impacted by this pandemic during the last couple of years and remember that Rotary is Service Above Self.
 
I look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Fore for Kids Annual Charity Golf Tournament
FORE FOR KIDS ANNUAL CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT 
 
 
In January 2020 members of The Rotary Club of SaddleBrooke were hard at work preparing for the annual Fore For Kids Annual Charity Golf Event to be held in April of that year.  This critical fundraiser had been held every year since 1998.  Yes critical, because in the 21 years this important Rotary event raised over $1/2 million for local community charities serving youth.  
 
The Fore for Kids Annual Charity Golf Tournament has become an important event in the community and is also fun for all, Rotarians, golfers, and guests.

Decorating the Vistas for Veterans' Day
Veterans' Day at HOA1 Vistas
 
SaddleBrooke Rotarians pitched in this year to help decorate the Vistas at HOA1.  Those helping had a great time doing our small part to recognize the many veterans we have in the Saddlebrooke communities.

 Dedication of the Peace Pole
 Sunday, October 24 at 1 PM at the Oracle Community Learning Gardens Members gathered for the Dedication of the Rotary Peace Pole. We were joined by Past District Governor of District 5500, Ellie Patterson and Peace Initiative Chairman Joe Daniszewski .
 
As Rotarians, we refuse to accept conflict as a way of life.  Through our service projects and community outreach, we are taking action to address the underlying causes of conflict. 
Sometimes, it’s just a matter of using the right words. A Peace Pole is a monument declaring the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in the language of the country in which it is planted and usually several other languages.  Peace Poles were created in 1955 in Japan by Masahisa Goi, in wake of the destruction wrought by World War II and the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Devastated by the repercussions of war, Goi wished to spread a message of peace worldwide.
