Feb 6: Lily Belli, Lookout Food & Drink Reporter
This was different than what we typically have at our meetings. Lily is the food and drink reporter for Lookout Santa Cruz and talked to us about what she does, how she covers our local food scene, the trends, what is hot and not and more.... She even wrote about coming to our meeting:
"Last week, Sunrise Santa Cruz Rotary hosted me as a speaker at a meeting at The Grille at DeLaveaga Golf Course. It was a blast, and I met so many lovely members. Although, when I originally agreed to the event, I thought the “sunrise” part was metaphorical. Nope – call time was 7 a.m. That blow was softened by a hearty breakfast when I arrived: a Liège Belgian waffle with crystalline pieces of sugar incorporated into the batter that gave each bite a sweet crunch, and finished with fresh berries and whipped butter."
Feb 13: Toni Campbell, Friends of Capitola Library
