Susan read a wonderful letter that she received from Rick about the coming Rotary Year.  YES Susan you will have a 'handle' on this.
 
 
It was so nice to meet Tim from Tanzania and Hildegard [6] and Joseph [7]
We found out that Hildegard wants to be a doctor, and Joseph wants to be a pilot.  We will once again this year support these two children for $500.00 each so that they can go to school, have a uniform and get fed at school.  Remember when we have our Super Bowl party, this is where the money will go.
Thanks Ian and Trish for putting this party on.  Mark Sunday, February 12th on your calendars.
 
Cleone gave us an update from Kenya, but had to leave in a hurry to go milk a cow !!!! Always fun to see her on line.
 
 
Lots of Happy Dollars and most were because we are happy to have Gary back to Rotary.  We sure laughed at Gary's story of his drinking problem.  Oh my goodness !!!! 
Best wishes go to Danne's Kerry's son, for a speedy recovery.  Lots of people going away to the sunshine and we are all happy that RIBFEST 2023 is on the way.
 
Great turnout to clean up Heritage Mtn. Blvd. on Saturday.  Thank you to all who came and thanks to Alan who organizes this.  Glen, Marcia and Claire also showed up for coffee.  8 Bags of trash was collected.  Well done group !!!!
