PAUL HARRIS FELLOW RECOGNITION STEVE KOZACHIK
 
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation. Rotary established the recognition in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions. Many other notable figures have been named Paul Harris Fellows, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, U.S. astronaut James Lovell, UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, and polio vaccine developer Jonas Salk. 
On November 7th, 2023 Steve Kozachik was acknowledged for all the fine work he has done not only for Tucson but for Rotary.
In 2019 Steve encouraged the Ride to End Polio with a video presentation, for the then-Rotary chair of the Ride to End Polio Natasha Wrae (a member of the Tucson Sunset Rotary Club).  Approximately a year ago,  Steve spearheaded plastic recycling behind his Ward 6 office. It has become very popular with Tucsonians.

GOSPEL RESCUE MISSION
EASTER CELEBRATION

Over 1,200 meals were served. Tucson Sunset Rotary Club were greeters for this event on April 7, 2023.
 

On February 3rd, 2023, Tucson Sunset Rotarians bundled over 3,500 diapers for the Diaper Bank of AZ. Bundling makes it easier to distribute diapers, originally received in large boxes, to more families.  This service project included a sum total of 15 hours. #DiaperBankofAZ

$1,000 Check to Diaper Bank of Arizona - Thanks to a Matching Grant from Rotary District 5500.

QUICK TURN-AROUND

11,520 ready-made meals were distributed across Tucson.

Thanks to the cooperation of the Tucson Sunset Rotary Club, the generous offer from BajaBridges, the Gospel Rescue Mission, and fast action from the Tucson Housing and Development.

Sunset Rotary Club had less than 3 days to organize a truck from Mesa to Tucson, and find a location with a forklift, and room for the pallets! Thanks to the quick action of Denny Scanlan reaching out to the Gospel Rescue Mission; they immediately agreed! The food availability was sent to Mayor Regina Romero and immediately forwarded to Allison Chappell from the Tucson Housing & Community Development Dept
The recipients were: Community Bridges 5 pallets, Salvation Army 3 pallets, Primavera Men's Shelter and drop-in shelter 3 pallets, Gospel Rescue Mission 3 pallets, Sister Jose 1 pallet, Old Pueblo Community Services 1 pallet and the Wildcat Inn Shelter 4 Pallets. In less than a week, all the pallets were either picked up or delivered!
