Steve Holmstrom, DVM, DAVDC | Lions, Tigers and Bears. Oh, my!
Today we heard a fascinating talk by Steve Holstrom, DUM, DAVOC, on his career caring for the dental requirements of the animal world. He is also an excellent sailor, having sailed with his young family including a baby to Hawaii prior to GPS. This is in addition to being an accomplished fisherman, a sailing judge for the America’s Cup and a scuba dive instructor.
Many thanks to my Rotary Family for presenting my new grand daughter Maya with a very generous $151 at our meeting yesterday. I’m sure that her Mom and Dad will put it to good use and when I get to hold her again next weekend up in Los Altos ( in the Bay area), I’ll be sure and tell her and her big sister Lia about all the friends they have down here in Palos Verdes. Many thanks to all of you again. Joey

District Governor Joe Vasquez and his wife Rose were present at the annual district governors meeting.
He presented Paul Harris pins to several members who achieved levels beyond the first $1000.00. Hangup Moon and Henry Lee were honored for giving $1,000 annually.
Greg and Carolyn O’Brien were honored as becoming members of the Bequest Society.
There was a slide show that featured Governor Joe and the “most interesting man in the world”.
We all love stories; we love sharing some of our favorite experiences just as much as we enjoy hearing other Rotarian’s wild adventures. Whether it’s a riveting tale of victory after overcoming impossible odds, a simple fun moment that happened over the weekend. Storytelling is one of our favorite communication tools and gives us all a better experience here at the club. How else are we supposed to learn about all great things happening here? Have a story to tell? Share it! We want to hear it.
One of the best ways to make yourself happy in the present is to recall happy times from the past. Old Photos are a great Memory-prompt, and because we tend to take photos of happy occasions, they weight our memories to the good. We all love a good trip down PVP Rotary memory lane, so be a good sport and share!
