Demotion Dinner 2016
by Lorine Parks
Word mentioned by emcee Ray Brown: “ coronation”
Décor: feathers, colored lights
A family affair: Alex and Jenette Lopez there with twins Nathaniel and Benjamin, and grandparents Raul and Arlene. Will Medina and Kari with Hermione and red-headed Cruz. . . and Will’s mother and Kari’s mother; Russell and wife Nicki and daughter and boss Steve Roberson with Darlene.

Good to see past prezes Diane Davis, with John, and Ingrid Martin.
Entertainment: the professional samba girls invite members to the stage. Will remembers what he leaned in Brazil…Pres Russell knows more than he lets on…definitely a winner…
Why would you not want to be a part of this! Rotary Club of Downey!
Doug Baker successfully refuses to dance. Larry Garces and Raul Lopez try their best. An athletic Bill Kirkwood takes the floor briefly. As Will commented, “Why would you not want to be a part of this! Rotary Club of Downey!”
The one who stood still long enough for a picture was Matt Knox.
