Dear Rotarians,
What an incredible Rotary week! On Saturday, club members attended the District Assembly and learned all about our new roles, and cheered on our new incoming DG Makiko Nakasone. An informative and festive day was had by all. It was also an honor to have two past DGs at our table--calling Greg O'Brien and Rick Mendoza. See pics at the bottom of the newsletter.
Then, Sunday was our Beer & Wine Festival and it was a smashing success! We sold out 900 tickets, and great job to the ladies managing the crowds at the front, Julia, Eileen, Lynne, Jennifer, Carol, and Suzie. Forgive me if I left anyone off!
We had the finest breweries and wineries in the community and a delicious selection of food from local eateries.
The VIP tent was spectacular and huge thanks to Kath Anderson, Liz Sparkman, and Donna Duperon for managing that! The silent auction was an array of fabulous trips, baskets, and other delights from local business owners. Again, thanks to everyone for donating and Kath for managing!
I know Jennifer Sullivan was in the house setting up and we had the men's team up front and around as well, featuring Duncan, Marc, Norton, Frank, Bruce, and Rick, check pictures to see if I missed anyone!
FYI - NO MEETING THIS FRIDAY!
