Pres. Michael opened his last official meeting of the Rotary year at 12:40 PM with the usual guest introductions.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Connie O’Henley reviewed what was in each of our Summer Sizzle packets. This year we could not reserve a larger than you than the Edwards Barn in Nipomo. Consequently, the number of tickets available for sale has been reduced and consequently the forecasted amount that goes to our charitable giving campaign has been reduced. To somewhat offset this reduced amount, each packet includes 5 raffle tickets at a cost of $25 each that all members are required to either sell or purchase. John Murphy reminded us not to come to Steamers next Tuesday at noon, but to be present at 5:30 PM at the San Luis Obispo Country Club for the Michael Boyer demotion banquet. Ashlea Boyer announced that Bruce Beaudoin and John Traversaro have been nominated to the Pismo Beach Rotary Foundation and they were duly elected by unanimous vote. Cliff Nagler and Steve Curry have been elected to this board by Rotary Club board. Pres. Michael called a short interim board meeting at today’s meeting to discuss the Pinot for Polio project. He congratulated Steve Adams for his wedding anniversary with Rose. He also showed an inspirational 2 minute video on the Rotary Foundation.
