At our February 1st meeting, we were honored to have a panel of speakers from the Three Creeks Collective (Owens Valley Indian Water Commission and Core Partners) regarding the planned return of the Three Creeks property, a rare five-acre oasis, into tribal ownership and care ("Land Back"). The property would be a tribal sanctuary offering holist connections to indigenous culture, food sovereignty and land stewardship, water protection, healing, relationship building, education, and art. Speakers from left to right are Jen Schlaich, Rosanna Marrujo, Teri Red Owl, Gigi Coyle (current title holder and steward), and Teena Pugliese.

Bishop Rotarian Robert Atlee and Sunrise Rotarians John Loomis and Ed Morse really generated some donation energy!

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.
Jason Brown (on the left) was formally inducted as a member of Bishop Sunrise Rotary by President Marshall Rudolph. His sponsor was Jeff Gabriel and his classification is Film Production (how cool!). Jason is already an active member of the club, having participated in service projects, fundraisers, social events, and of course club meetings. We're lucky to have him. Welcome Jason!
Dr. Arndal and Dr. Kim delivered two babies by c-section with the resident physician in the newly rehabilitated operating room and installed pessaries in a dozen women.
