We are two months into the Rotary year and President Joel has settled into the rhythm and cadence of running the meeting each week. Wendy Taylor started off the meeting with some spiritual comments followed by Darrel Menthe leading the Pledge. The singing chores were awarded to Rod Miyata who did the Patriotic Song and Carmen Portnoy who handled the Welcome Song.
Carmela Raack was back from visiting family in Canada and she had missed the District Governor’s Visit. President Joel presented Carmela with two awards from the District that DG Elsa Gillham had brought for Carmela.
Seth Horowitz from the Culver Hotel informed us about the upcoming 90th Anniversary Party for the Hotel which is called the Prohibition Ball. The party is set for Saturday, September 6th starting at 8:00 PM and the cost is $90 per person with 10% of the proceeds going to the CC Historical Society. This is a theme party so you will have to dress for the occasion – no costume, no admittance.
Next up was Adriana Beischl who recognized the Birthdays and Anniversaries for the month of August. She brought in an excellent cake from Angel Made Bakery.
There were a few reminders. The District Picnic will be held on September 14th at Seaside Lagoon in Redondo Beach. Linda Black is planning a luncheon focusing on the recruitment of new members on September 24th. Please bring old copies of The Rotarian magazine so new members and interested candidates can see what goes on in the Rotary world.
Recognitions consisted of Kate Rosloff mentioning that her daughter is off to college at Union College in New York. Adriana Beischl's husband has been volunteering lots of hours to help get her children’s school ready for the new school year. Three of Carmela Raack’s grandsons have been playing at high levels of hockey in the Canadian leagues. All three volunteers gave money to the Club treasury.
Our speaker was Rotarian Robert Ryans who spoke about the Rotary Global Grant Scholar Program.
