Skylar McVicar, first place finisher at our club’s speech contest has done it again.

On Saturday March 11 she finished first in the Rotary Distrcit Pageant of the Arts speech competition. Skylar was awarded a $1,000 scholarship for her district finish.

 

Lance Miller who chaired the event is our club speaker this Friday and we are also expecting Skylar to join us.

As usual,  Henry Ott greeted us with lucky wine lottery tickets at the entrance.   President Allen Bond rang the opening bell at 12:15 for the CLUB ASSEMBLY MEETING . The invocation was done by Chris Leach, saying "we are all unique with our own unique path". The Pledge of Allegiance was given by Norton Donner. The Patriotic Song was lead by Les Fishman, and John Schuright played the piano.   

Liz Fitzgerald introduced the guests. They were Soraya Greenway by Greg O'Brien, Barbara Hanks by Lynne Neuman and Margie Beierschmitt from the Sunrise rotary club at the South Bay.  

The Welcome Song was led by Geoff Nadler.

The lucky winners for wine were Christine Barnicki and Rick Mendoza.

 

 

Greg Sparkman talked more about the coming beer and wine festival on May 21, 2017 and recommended our members to sell or buy at least five tickets. Already $10000 tickets were sold.

 

 

Program: Fossils found in Palos Verdes

Today's speaker was Donald "Joe" Cocke, introduced by Marc Mazorow.

 

 

 

 Mr. Cocke grew up in the Palos Verdes, has worked in the LA natural museum for 30 years, and is an expert about fossils particularly in the Palos Verdes. In a few minutes of slide pictures about fish fossils found in the cliff of Palos Verdes Peninsula, the computer refused to show his USB pictures any more. This session will be reprogramed possibly at the off-site Interpretive center near ocean. 

 

President Bond closed this Rotary meeting to a conclusion at 1:25pm
