A Midwestern farmer named Dan West was ladling out rations of milk to hungry children during the Spanish Civil War when it hit him.
“These children don’t need a cup, they need a cow.”
West, who was serving as a Church of the Brethren relief worker, was forced to decide who would receive the limited rations and who wouldn’t – literally, who would live and who would die. This kind of aid, he knew, would never be enough.
Thanks to Heifer International (Arkansas, USA), millions of people who were once hungry are nourished by milk, eggs and fresh vegetables. Families who for generations knew only poverty are building new homes and starting businesses. They send their children to school instead of to the fields to do backbreaking work. Best of all, each partner family experiences the dignity of sharing as they give one or more of their animal’s offspring to another family in need.

Carlos Garcia Calzada has been a Rotarian for almost twelve years, serving the Rotary Clubs of Acapulco, Vallarta Centro, and Vallarta Sur before joining the Rotary eClub of the Southwest USA. Carlos keeps busy with his work as an architect, and as a lover of photography, astronomy, wine, and learning, all of which find expression in his presentation today on his hometown of Bernal, Querétaro, Mexico.
Bernal is a town that is full of fascinating history, and an important pilgrimage spot for many who find its features and orientation something more than simply beautiful. Enjoy this visit to this special place, and allow Carlos to provide a peek into the perspectives of some of these pilgrims, too!

Have you been working all day at your computer? If so, it's clearly time to get outside. Get ready for a beautiful hike through the Arizona desert courtesy of Karen Naranjo, who has been with our club since 2004. Karen lives in the Phoenix area and will guide us through the land and flowers of her 'hood, aptly named "Paradise Valley."
NOTE: This is a somewhat larger file than usual, since we've got lots of wonderful photos in it. Please be patient while it downloads.

This Week's Program will focus on Rotary Youth Leadership Award Camp - RYLA - that will be held in Heber AZ Thursday, April 29th through Sunday May 2nd. Our eClub program is sponsoring two outstanding young people to RYLA this year -- you'll have a chance to meet them in a couple weeks.
At RYLA, students are divided into teams and given a community, regional or global problem to solve using a team approach. This resolution is presented on Sunday morning as a skit. There will be a high & low wire challenge course, lectures & problem solving group activities. All eClub members are invited to attend even for just part of a day. Please email Pam Cohen to let her know you are coming.
