The meeting registration fee is $50 and includes lunch. Register by clicking the "Register NOW" button or clicking here. Please register by 5pm on Monday, October 13th. If you miss the deadline and plan to attend, please email rotary@rotary100.org (please note, there is a $5 late fee). Any cancelations after this time are non-refundable. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
Parenting Special Kids Network is led by President/Director Jeff Thibault. Jeff and his wife, Debbie, have 4 children, including a 27-year-old daughter with an intellectual disability and an anxiety disorder. Jeff's professional career spans 25 years on the Young Life staff, 10 years as the Marriage & Family Pastor at North Bible Church, and 2 years as the Director of Operations & Training for Dr. John Trent’s StrongFamilies. It was during these years that he developed a passion for helping families, especially those going through a similar parenting journey as theirs.
For some parents, launching their child into adulthood looks very different. It can feel overwhelming and even hopeless, especially when raising a child with a disability. From our own experience raising a child with a disability, we know this journey brings many additional responsibilities, expenses, and concerns—often leaving parents to navigate uncharted waters as they work to secure the resources their child needs to thrive.
We wholeheartedly believe that every child is created with intention and a unique purpose. That belief inspired us to start Parenting Special Kids Network. Our mission is to create a nurturing and empowering community where parents of children with disabilities—of all ages—can find support, access resources, and receive personalized assistance to ensure their children get the services they need to thrive.

Who We Are:
Rotarians are leaders in their vocation, profession and community. We meet weekly to discuss improving the lives of people, both locally and globally. We need and encourage diversity of membership in order to be more effective in this task. The Rotary motto is “Service Above Self” and Rotary is an organization of over 33,000 local clubs serving their communities around the world.
Phoenix Rotary 100 was founded in 1914 as the 100th club to join Rotary. Through the years, Phoenix Rotary 100 has been at the forefront of community service in Phoenix and beyond, with a past and present membership list reading like Who’s Who in the State’s history. Mayors, governors, U.S. senators and one Supreme Court Justice have all been a part of Phoenix Rotary 100. Other famous Rotarians include: Neil Armstrong, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Dianne Feinstein, Gerald Ford, John F. Kennedy, Charles Mayo, J.C. Penney, Manny Pacquaio, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles Walgreen, Sam Walton, Woodrow Wilson and Orville Wright, to name just a few.
As Rotarian Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
