Rotarians Raising Funds for CAPS

Rotarians Raising Funds for CAPS

Local Rotarians involved in District 5190’s EClub are getting a jump on their summer activities. They’re raising funds to install shade coverings at CAPS, taking advantage of a grant program that will provide a $2,000 match to their efforts. They hope to have the shade coverings installed before summer to protect the animals from the harsh desert sun.

Janis Wood, Rotarian and member of CAPS is heading up the project with a goal of raising the $2,000 that will be matched by District 5190. 

Other local Rotarians, Bob Withers and June Young are also involved in the effort to raise the funds, install the coverings, and install signage that will recognize Wood and the work she has done over the years to support CAPS.

Contributions to the shade project can be made by contacting Withers at [email protected] or Young at [email protected].

CAPS, Churchill Animal Protection Society, is a non-profit animal shelter working to provide care and shelter for homeless cats and dogs.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
