Pres. Michael opened the meeting at 12:37 PM with the usual introductions that included District Gov. Loretta Butts who was here to present an award to past Pres.

FINES:
Mary Giambalvo finished a half a marathon over the Berkeley Grizzly Peak terrain and received an $80 spin-the-wheel fine. Greg Steinberger exchanged his old red badge for his blue one and received a $100 spin the wheel fine. Steve Curry was fined $20 for having to be right.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
John Traversaro reported that the golf tournament on May 4 is almost on us. Bruce Beaudoin emphasized that every member should encourage any golfer they know to sign up. Cliff Nagler reported that two weeks before the tournament KSBY will feature TV advertising. Paul Holden again passed around the Paul Harris Fellow lottery sign-up sheet.
PROGRAM: Spotlights on Jeff King, Kari Ziegler Anya Stanley
Spotlight on Jeff King: Jeff was born in Fresno on June 3, 1949 and during his growing up years his dad took him on a 37 state odyssey. He graduated from high school in 1969 and went on to California State University, Fresno. Jeff’s dad was an architect, so when Jeff graduated with a degree in construction engineering, they formed a company with is dad doing the designing and Jeff headed up the construction crew building the houses. Since he divided the profits with his dad, he has not received a paycheck since June 1, 1972. He married his wife Sally in 1972 and in 1992 they adopted two children who are produced 2 grandchildren that they are now in the process of spoiling. He loves to travel and he recently passed his FAA written exam and now is in the process of obtaining his instrument rating.
Spotlight on Kari Ziegler: Kari was born in San Luis Obispo, but was soon adopted and spent her growing up years on the East Coast. Her dad had a job as the CFO of a trading firm so they didn’t have dinner until he got home between 8 and 8:30 PM. She went to Taylor University in Upland, Indiana and became a software designer for 17 years. Her grandmother taught her to cook and she developed a great interest cooking. She left software design to open Gather Wine Bar in Arroyo Grande Village. After four years, her lease ran out so she opened Comfort Market on 116 East Branch St. late in 2013. It is open from 9:30 AM to 3 PM and from 5 to 9 PM for dinner.
Spotlight on Anya Stanley: She was born in Sparta, Wisconsin and because her dad was in the Marine Corps they moved every couple of years while she was a child. She received a BS from San Diego State University and a JD degree in 1972 from Syracuse University in 1975. When she got out of law school at the head of her class, all the law firms that she applied to were not hiring.  She got her start by going down to the courthouse every day and observing the trial attorneys in action. A judge asked her what she was doing there. After she told him, he said we have a case for you and the rest is history. She practiced law in Los Angeles for 38 years and is now a partner with the law firm of Gibbs, Giden, Locher, Turner, Senet & Wittbrodt LLP.
THE DAY BY PAUL JONES:
"Nothing is so disappointing as finding out you are excellent at doing something that doesn't need to be done."
