Steve may have just officially joined Rotary, but he has always lived by Rotary's motto of "service above self." For many years, the local businessman has been putting a portion of his company profits into a charitable foundation. Together with his family and any friends who wanted to come along, the Helping Hands "Fun"dation has twice spent the 2-week Christmas break in Agua Prieta, Mexico helping families in need (complete with a stunning white adobe church in the middle of town, Agua Prieta is located across the Arizona border at the site of an historic treaty signing during the Mexican Revolution). In Mexico, the Davis family hires local workers to pour cement floors, build on to and paint existing houses. They also distribute handmade gifts to people in the area, such as crocheted wash cloths, knit dish scrubbers, baby blankets, used doors, windows and other supplies. As a Rotarian, imagine how much more Steve can do with his International Service project when he learns about matching grants and other RI resources!!!!
