This week in Rotary
GOOD EVENING DEL  SOL ROTARIANS.  PLEASE REMEMBER TO FILL OUT THE SURVEY ON THE TYPE OF MEETING YOU PREFER GOING FORWARD IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO.  THERE WILL BE  SPECIAL BOARD MEETING ON MARCH 30  AT 7:00AM AT WHICH YOUR BOARD WILL MAKE A DECISION ON FUTURE MEETINGS, WHETHER HYBRID, LIVE OR VIRTUAL.
 
On March 18, 2021 at the Morning Meeting for  All Del Sol Rotarians, Eddie Nunez, Athletic Director of UNM was the speaker.  He discussed the recently announced hiring of Richard Pitino as the new Head Mens Basketball Coach.
 
Nunez said this was an exciting hire as Pitino has had a lot of experience as the former Head Coach at University of Minnesota.
 
Nunez acknowledged that this year of Covid-19 has been especially trying for UNM athletes as they could not practice or play games in-state due to the Governors Emergency Health Order.  It was also difficult for the Department budget as 75% of that budget is self-funded and without attendance of fans it took a major hit.
 
He especially praised Mike Bradbury and the Women's Basketball program which  won the Mountain West Conference Championship in these trying times.  Nunez also praised the academic achievements of the student athletes.  
 
Nunez also lauded the Cross Country and Baseball teams which are doing very well.  The Women's Cross Country team has been in the top ten nationally for 11 years in a row. 
 
Football will have in person attendance this fall at 50% capacity.
 
At the same meeting Tony Pino and Joe Corazzi discussed the New Mexico Rotary Telethon which is replacing the Governors Ball this year. Tony said Joe is doing a great job organizing the Telethon.  Attendance is free this year but we MUST register on the website to attend and bid on action items.  Brad Ekhoff, Auction Chair said we still need auction items and sponsors.
 
The Telethon is April 24.

Topic of the meeting is Rotary International's "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" Initiative.  This is a very important topic and all Rotarians ae invited to attend.
 
Lets all have a Great week in Rotary putting Service above Self.
