John, Dean, Joanne, Sherry, Bruce, and Maggie. Many thanks to Sherry for providing a wonderful, festive venue at the Salvation Army offices. Cheryl, Phil, Ramona, Lindsey, and RYE student Laura. Seth, Andrew, Celeste, and Jackie. RYE student Victor, Robert, RYE student Laura, and Rick Jeff and RYE host family member Patti Cook. President Marshall attempts to explain the arcane rules of the White Elephant Gift exchange. Celeste is eager to open her mystery package, which turned out to be a really cool gardening assortment. She was happy no one stole it! Laura opens her first package -- a "honey do" hammer which was later graciously stolen so Laura could try again. After many such opened and stolen gifts, Laura ended up stealing a Mammoth beanie from Victor! Victor opens up one of many gifts he ended up opening due to his gifts being stolen. Jackie worked hard to open this package, which was loaded with an assortment of smaller miscellaneous items.

Bishop Sunrise Rotary is thrilled to unveil its beautiful new trading banner, which was designed by local artist Julie Faber with input from the club. Trading banners are exchanged with other clubs for their banners, typically when a member of one club visits another club. Thanks Julie for your generous donation of time and talent! Your work will serve the club for countless years to come.

On November 2, 2022, the Club held a social event honoring certain Non-Rotarians with Paul Harris Fellows for their volunteer work on the Club's project to provide much-needed medical supplies, equipment, and professional training to medical clinics in Chiapas, Mexico (a very rural, remote area of Mexico). The project has been funded by global grants from the Rotary Foundation. Bishop Sunrise Rotarian Ramona Delmas has spearheaded the project since its inception. Honorees were local OB-GYN doctors Martha Kim and Jeanine Arndal, interpreters Jose Garcia and Julie Burns, and Rick Delmas (the "detail man"). Event attendees included two Interact Club officers, an RYE student and her host family, and members of the Rotary Club of Bishop (the noon club). Bishop Sunrise Rotarian Ramona Delmas presented a moving PowerPoint explaining the history of this amazing service project, which she has spearheaded from day one. Ramona received a well-deserved standing ovation for her work. Paul Harris Fellow recipient OB-GYN doctor Martha Kim, who went to Chiapas multiple times to help train the doctors there. Fellow OB-GYN Jeanine Arndal was also honored but was under the weather and unable to attend in person. Paul Harris Fellow recipient Jose Garcia, an expert translator who has volunteered countless hours in support of the Chiapas project. Fellow translator Julie Burns was also honored but was unable to attend in person. Paul Harris Fellow recipient Rick Delmas was honored for his countless hours working behind the scenes as "the detail man" for the Chiapas project.
