Meet Denny D’Autremont Denny D’Autremont is a Registered Field Representative for Guardian Life and was Rotary de Tolosa’s first member in 1984, after the club was chartered. And he has maintained perfect attendance in Rotary, even during these times of virtual meetings. He has served as a stalwart volunteer on the BBQ crew, and as Sargent-of-Arms for two past presidents. His message to others about what they should know about Rotary is simple: Rotarians do good in the community, and we raise money for charities. Thank you, Denny, for being part of the history of our club, and exemplifying what commitment to Rotary is all about! #rotarymembershipmonday #rotarydetolosa

 Membership Monday: Meet Santa Claus Santa Claus works tirelessly all year to bring joy to children around the world on Christmas Eve and during the early hours of Christmas Day. Santa has always espoused Rotary values and abides by the Four-Way Test. He honors the importance of truth, fairness, and goodwill which in turn makes a positive impact on all he crosses paths with – though most never see him. Leading up to Christmas, Santa Claus works closely with his elves. His team is incredibly important to him so he always treats them with grace and respect. He lives his passion everyday by bringing happiness and joy to children around the globe. When Santa is not preparing toys for Christmas, he is taking care of his reindeer or baking cookies with Mrs. Claus. Thank you, Santa, for bringing joy, unconditional kindness, and generosity to our community. If you and your family want to track Santa this Christmas Eve, visit noradsanta.org. #rotarymembershipmonday #rotarydetolosa For the full version follow us on Facebook and Instagram

Serving dinner at 40 Prado February 18 was a great success! One hundred twenty five homeless people enjoyed a warm dinner and Rotarians had fun working together!
The following Rotarians provided food and/or served homeless people a dinner of lasagna, salad, rolls, bananas, oranges, cookies and milk: John Wallace, Leslie McKinley, Jeff Pirolo, Chris Gardner, Jennifer Rhymes, Brooke Salvini (wife of John), Jan Marx, Sandra Duerr. Other volunteers Orlando, a Cal Poly architecture student and Jay Hieatt, local attorney also helped out.
Passing the "hat" on February 6, the club donated $237. Of that, $199 was reimbursed to purchasers of lasagna, milk and rolls. Providers of cookies, salad and fruit did not want reimbursement. I estimate that, if they had, that would have added another $100, making a total of $300 needed to provide dinner.
So, do we want to do this again March 18? Do you think members would donate $300 to make this happen? Please let Jan Marx know. If you would like to provide food or serve March 18, please sign up right away.
