What an amazing weekend.  As you know we held our Mardi Gras event at the Pacific Mariners Yacht Club Friday evening.  The members of PMYC where gracious hosts and made us feel so welcomed. Everyone had all the gumbo they could eat and the music provided by Robert Longley made it perfect.  We had the wonderful Senchal bring her face painting talents to make us feel we were right back in the Big Easy.  Thanks to all of the many Rotarians that helped make this event so special and to PMYC for not just the use of their beautiful club, but all the help they also provided.  The week our speaker will be Jeff Blair who is a Author and Fitness Trainer.  This will be fun, I hope!  Please be sure to mark your calendar for a couple of special events.  On March 16th, we are going on a field trip to one of the Culver City schools to see the computer equipment that was installed as a result of our grant.  Bristol Farms will be supplying a very nice lunch and we are inviting those from the district that are in charge of overseeing grants to join us.  March 30th will be a spouses night and a very special program is planned so please be sure to put it on your calendar.  Someone told me that after Christmas this job gets easier and it is just coasting to the end of my year.  Yeah, right!!!  See you all Wednesday and again, thanks for all your support and participation.  You have all been great.

Your Gavel-less Prez,
