From Iran to the US: Marziyeh Amirizadeh to speak Her first book, Captive in Iran, which recounts her capture and imprisonment, was published in April 2013. Marzi has shared her inspiring story in the United States and around the world, in order to bring awareness to people and policy makers about the ongoing human rights violations and persecution of religious minorities in Iran. Marzi’s primary mission is to warn fellow Americans that freedom must be cultivated and defended. Marzi feels deep gratitude for this country and its people which have given her so much. She feels a responsibility to stand up, serve, and encourage her fellow Americans to fight for their values, faith, and freedom. Marzi’s second book, A Love Journey with God, was recently released and is available on Amazon. A Love Journey with God recounts how Marzi found God, the struggles she experienced as a Christian woman in an Islamic County, and how God can turn any situation into triumph.

Blood Drive Testimony-Jan 31 Blood Drive
"My experience as a volunteer at the check-in desk on Blood Drive Day has been very positive. It is a pleasure to work with Darrell & Hal and all of the donors who stop by to give the gift of life! When asked what we need to increase participation, I responded: 1. Need more engagement from the club. We need persuasive asks to get people more involved. (Hopefully, these testimonials are helping here.)
2. Need to have measurable and attainable goals regarding donors from the American Red Cross and from Rotary. Holding people accountable can push meet and increase goals. (Note the goal chart of 60 pints, and the progress we have made of 35 signups so far.) Overall, the experience has affected me so positively. It is a sense of duty and honor to be able to volunteer and help our community needs. Even though I have not been able to donate due to travel and medicine restrictions, I feel committed to the cause and will participate as much as possible". -Gabriel Prado Join Gabriel and all of our donors and volunteers on Jan. 31!
