Message From President Steve Rainbolt

Weekly Club News Update!

6/3/2015

Last week’s meeting was an opportunity to view antique automobiles at John Bertolotti’s facility. What an amazing collection of early 1900’s automobiles from several manufacturers whose names don’t exist today. John led the tour providing a history lesson on the automobile, the industry, the manufactures, and their use in the early 20th century. He also spoke of the need to replace the horse as a means of transportation-especially in large cities like New York where millions of pounds and millions of gallons of waste had to be cleared from the streets daily. John’s detailed knowledge of each of the automobiles in the collation is impressive to say the least. Thank you to John for hosting the meeting.

Don’t forget to submit your Polio Plus pledge either by check to Rotary International of by going on-line at Rotary.org. If you do it by check please give it to Ted Morehead.

This week’s meeting will, once again, not be at the Bay Club. The meeting will be at the Santa Clara Elks Club located at 1620 Martin Ave in Santa Clara. This is the annual Past Presidents BBQ where we honor our Club’s Past Presidents as well as roast a few of them. Ted Keech leads the event and it is expected to be as entertaining as ever. This is one of my favorite meetings of the year so I encourage you to attend.

See you on Thursday.
