January 16th Luncheon: 550 KFYI Morning Show Host Mike Broomhead
![]() From kfyi.iheart.com: “Mike Broomhead is the fastest growing name in talk radio today! Mike has been with KFYI since 2005. He uses his business and life experience to address the issues that Arizona citizens face today. Rooted in fiscal and social conservatism, Mike leaves no doubt where he stands on any issue. He fights for the freedoms of Americans and brings the hottest issues of the day to his listeners. Mike initially made a name for himself speaking at the largest pro-troops rallies in the country. He was called upon to debate against the anti-war crowd on both television and radio and is now highly requested around the country to speak at events. Mike also had the privilege of being the master of ceremonies for two Presidential visits in 2004.” We hope to see you and your friends on Wednesday, January 16th!

December 19th Luncheon: The Rubber Band is Our Entertainment, Jeff Taylor is Our Keynote Speaker

This holiday season marks the 55th year Phoenix Rotary 100 and others will raise money for The Salvation Army through the “Rotary 100 Rubber Band.” The band has raised $1.5 million for programs of The Salvation Army throughout their history!
Laugh and Sing with the Rubber Band!
The Phoenix Rotary 100 will bring us holiday cheer and laughter when its spirited crew, the Rubber Band, serenades us on December 19th.
Holiday songs new and old and dancing are the recipe for this interactive performance, as musicians on wash buckets, fiddles, bell straps, triangles and horns wear their Christmas best and the foolish but lovable Grinch frolics among all of us.
Hear Jeff Taylor, Chairman of the Phoenix Salvation Army Advisory Board, Share His Powerful Story with Us
After lunch, the chairman of the Phoenix Salvation Army Advisory Board, Jeff Taylor, will share with us how the Salvation Army was there for him, just when he needed it the most.
Jeff’s story is one of a powerful redemption. In Jeff’s words, per The Arizona Capitol Times, in an opinion article entitled “Kill proposed marijuana measures and shut gateway to drug abuse” (October 26, 2017):
I grew up playing golf, surfing, going to the University of Arizona to play football and study finance. My first job out of college was as a Wall Street stock options trader, where I earned enough to leave the business at the age of 29. Life was good. Five years later, I was living in a bush in south Phoenix. Marijuana, pain killers and cocaine wiped out my bank account. I turned to burglary to feed my habit and ended up behind bars six times. My life did not turn around until a judge sent me to a Salvation Army drug treatment program. I broke my addiction, earned a teaching accreditation and went to work for the Salvation Army. Today, I chair the board.

Rep. Martha McSally, Candidate for U.S. Senate, Must Win!
This is from my friend Linda Rizzo. She sent it by email today and said that I could share. It is about our Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Martha McSally. Please read it and pass it along…
“Last night I had the opportunity to spend an evening in someone’s home with Martha McSally. It wasn’t a fundraiser. It was a time to hear her, see her, understand what makes her tick.
First and foremost, she is a Christian woman who sincerely loves and looks to God for help, strength, and guidance. She is unashamedly Christian. She talked about her 8-year battle to change military regulations so females in the service in Sharia observant countries would not be compelled to wear the burka. Her heart refused, as a Christian woman, to conform to Sharia law, so she fought for the religious freedom of all women in the service. She went up against Donald Rumsfeld and she won.
She talked about her life growing up after her father passed away when she was twelve. How she had all her ducks in a row when applying to the Air Force Academy, and how they told her she couldn’t be a pilot – which made her even more determined to be one!
We talked about the campaigns, her first ones and this one. Sinema has so much money to tell lies. Martha never voted to end coverage for pre-existing conditions! She has the Republican message down about all the things we want to put in place to give people real choices for health insurance and the ability to buy what they want instead of a one size fits all as we have had, thanks to Obama.
She is pro-life. I need to address something here: a persistent complaint that Martha gave Planned Parenthood $550,000,000 and so is not pro-life.
If by voting for the Onmibus funding bill, she is a baby killer, then so are Rep Chris Smith (NJ) https://chrissmith.house.gov/biography/congcaucuses.htm who has co-chaired the Pro-life Caucus, Rep Vickie Hartzler (R) Missouri https://hartzler.house.gov/legislative-…/…/marriage-and-life, and our own David Schweikert. Please don’t be turned off by skewed claims.
I came away feeling like I wanted her to be a friend of mine. She is a real human being with courage and integrity.
We need to help Martha McSally get elected. Money, talking to friends and family, walking up and down your block, talking to neighbors. Whatever it takes. Get a yard sign and put it out.” (Written by Linda Rizzo)
