Rose Sale Instructions
 
Rose Delivery Day is Tuesday, April 26, 2016 - There will be no meeting that day.
We will pick up our roses between 7am & 8am
at 2901 E Bogard Road in the back of the building where Blinds Unlimited is.

Rose Sale review: 
Note: There is no space on rose form for the cvc# (3 digit code on back of card)... Please fill in rose form completely and add this very important detail! 
 
Forms are available from PE Matt Stielstra or at our meetings. We are committed as a club to sell 450 dozen roses.
The delivery day is scheduled April 26, 2016 during Administrative Assistants week and are $30 per dozen.
We receive the long stem roses in boxes and they are one dozen wrapped in plastic with a little baby's breath. There will be red roses as well as a variety of other colors.
There are no multi-colored dozens.
Each Rotarian is responsible for completing the forms with all pertinent information. There is a 3-part form. Pink copy for customer, Yellow for you and White (most clear)  for our treasurer.
Please turn in all monies to Don as you receive.
There is a place on form to record how your money was received.
Phone numbers and delivery instructions are important too, especially if someone else is going to be helping you deliver your roses. 
Adding these details because the day of delivery is usually a little frenzied and having your paperwork filled out and money ready will ensure everyone gets in and out of there quickly. 
Bring a bucket or two with a little water in each to keep your roses fresh in transport.
Please be mindful of keeping your roses cool!  We want our customers to receive their roses fresh so they are inclined to buy next year.

No More Campaign to End Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault in Mat-Su Valley Connects Survivors and Students
2nd annual conference continues efforts to educate and empower youth to be agents for change in epidemic
 
On Sunday, April 24, from 12-3 p.m., at the Glenn Massay Theater, many adult and student leaders from around the valley will convene for the second year in a row to unite in their message of “No More!” No More is a national campaign to end domestic violence and sexual assault that encourages local adoption and action. Expected speakers include former Olympic athletes, Nina Kemppel and Kevin McMahon, and former NBA athlete, Jahadi White. This event is free and open to the public to attend.
 
Two years ago Jason Marvel, Burchell High School principal and father of two daughters, impressed upon the Wasilla Sunrise Rotary Club the gravity of the situation in the Mat-Su Valley, where statistically 1:2 women will experience some form of domestic violence or sexual assault.  The Sunrise Rotarians immediately picked up the mantle and, together with Alaska Family Services, have pledged an on-going effort to educate and involve the youth of the valley to help break the cycle and be agents for change.
 
Domestic violence and assault can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender and affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels. The No More Mat-Su campaign seeks to raise awareness in the community in general of this epidemic, and to educate and empower young people to put an end to what is often generational cycles of abuse.  
 
Surviving hardship and overcoming odds of all kinds share traits of will, determination, belief in self-worth, and the strength to reach out for help.  Sunday’s event combines the testimonies of the survivors of violence and assault, along with the overcoming the odds tales from two former Olympian athletes and a former NBA athlete, to drive home the message of No More. For more information, please call the No More Mat-Su Team at (907) 746-6213.
