Dear Fellow Rotarians,

March is proving to be a busy month for the Rotary Club of Montecito! Earlier this month, we welcomed our District Governor Marta Browning, who shared highlights of not only topics from our district, but from Rotary International as well.

We followed that memorable meeting with a fun social, Taco Tuesday, at the El Paseo Restaurant. It was great to catch up and laugh over Mexican food and margaritas (I had a martini).

And, later this month, we will be volunteering at Friendship Center's "Senior Prom" on Thursday, March 28 from 11:30am - 1:00pm. Be sure to let Kim Stone know if you can help out with serving lunch, decorating and even dancing at the event.

I'm also excited about our next meeting on Tuesday, March 19, when we will welcome Teana David, who is the Executive Director of the Illuminate Film Festival, which has relocated from Sedona to Santa Barbara. Hope to see you all next Tuesday.

Yours in Service,

Tony
