Our provisional Rotary e-Club of the Southwest was Chartered as a Centennial Club with eleven members in April 2004 and by July had grown to fourteen members. Out of our original eleven members we have seven of those first members still in our club. A big thank you to your continued support and to the hard work that got this e-Club off on the right foot. We appreciate all you have done and continue to do for our Rotary family.
Charter Members: Judy Taunt, First President, Mel Taunt, Stephen Shearin, Luisa Mazinter, Jono Mazinter, Darin Wayrynen, and Karen Narranjo.
We are now a global e-Club with over 100 members in 11 countries. Please view our website, makeup a meeting, anytime and from anyplace in the world.
Be sure to check the multi Language greetings page in the weekly meetings.

Projects Around the World
Since we're a global eClub, almost every project we do is local to one or more of our members. We have a sister club in Turks and Caicos, where we support their work with the Dictionary Project. We do a Matching Grant every year (see Our Projects in the left column), with past projects in South Africa and India.
Most of our members are heavily enagaged in their own communties serving on nonprofit boards, working on youth projects, bringing unique educational opportunities into local schools, educating local ranchers on sustainable practices for ranching, etc. In fact, we log over 700 hours of service every month, and have done so for several years.
Global Fellowship
Some people wonder how an eClub has Fellowship. Actually, we do it just like other clubs: we fly or drive to do projects together (Turks and Caicos Island dictionary project, HomeFront America Grubfest in California), we work together in committees on this website, we share with each other in the forums at every meeting, and we party together! If you've never been to a global party, you've really missed something!! (thank goodness for Skype!)
And we call each other, usually on Skype, where we can get voice and video. We also look for occasions to get-together, like when our President-Elect comes to PETS in District 5510 it's party time, and a great time to meet the incoming president. And it's always fun to meet our fellow eClub members at the RI Convention.
Program of the Week
Kids Connecting to Service through Video
Some number of you will recall that last fall we launched an effort to get Interact and Rotaract clubs to create videos about service and communities. We have our finalists, and now we need your help!
