PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Posted by Daniel Cavanaugh Jr.

Hi Ya'll

What a week! The Gov visit and the 10K, I am pooped. But, I really want to thank my board for all their hard work in making the Gov visit special at the 3B Ranch. Thanks to Clint for the amazing logo and the plaque. Thanks to Ernie and Rhonda for the placemats and to Carmela for the book and all her vast experience. Also, the 10K committee really worked super hard and pulled it off one more time. The decorations were beautiful and the venue was super. Lastly, thanks to all of you that jumped in a bought your tickets and sold tickets to make sure that our programs are funded. Thanks to Larry and Sandy Knolls for getting such great "Losers" gifts. Our winner was Steve Rose. Al Goldman called him and congratulated him on winning $5,000. Hua??? How long will it take Steve to figure out he won $10,000? This is the Chiago way, right?

Now, I dunno who this clown is that thinks he can scare me into doing whatever they want.I don't think so... But, give it your best shot Chown or Clowns (as the case may be!)

I want to thank all of you for contributing to the Paul Harris Foundation. In February our annual giving was so low. I asked you to all step up and get your annual contribution in. You did it. We went from $47 per member giving to $147 per member giving. Because of this, we were awarded a $3700 grant for our annual track meet and $27,800 to purchase computer equipment for our Culver City schools. Our Gov vision of back to our community was realized. Thanks to you all!!

Next week our speaker looks very good. He is Peter Gwillim Kreitler (The Rev. Canon). He is the Founder/ producer/ co-host of Earth Talk Today (co-host with Alexandra Paul) created in 1997 and is the nation's leading environmental interview show
