Greetings Fellow Rotarians and Happy Independence Day! 
 
I'm honored to serve as your President for the 2018-19 year, and along with the talented team of Officers & Directors who comprise your Leadership Team, I'm excited for the Rotary Club of Montecito. 
 
With the annual tradition of leadership change having just taken effect July 1st, the new Officers, Directors and Chairpersons represent another cadre of Club leaders, filled with ideas and optimism.  I hope that we are able to live up to expectations as we follow in the footsteps of leaders who've served before us!
 
Rotary's International Theme for this year is "Be The Inspiration".   This is not just a call to action for leaders, but for every Rotarian.  Over the next twelve months I hope we can each "inspire" others to reach out and serve, to take action, to be more welcoming and inclusive, and to improve communities in our own backyard and around the globe.  
 
I hope you enjoy the resurrection of The AXIS, our Club's e-bulletin.  I welcome your input and feedback on this or any other relevant topic at any time.
 
Please join me at our next luncheon meeting on July 10th.  I want to share with you some of the inspirational things I learned at the RI Convention in Toronto, and will unveil some "tweaks" to our weekly meeting format as well as provide you with an overview of the coming year.
 
I thank you in advance for your encouragement and support.  You "inspire" me in so many, many ways.  I hope that, over the next twelve months as your President, I am able to return the favor! 
 
Enjoy your holiday celebration(s) and I look forward to seeing you at our first meeting of the year next week. 
 
 
Yours in Service,
 
President Todd
WE NEED YOUR LUNCH ORDER!!!
 
We are working to improve our overall luncheon experience, but need YOUR help.
 
For our next luncheon meeting, the meal choices are:
 
     OPTION A: Crispy Chicken Sandwich with your choice of Fries or Small Salad (indicate choice in server comments) 
 
     OPTION B: Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad (No Avocado) 
 
If you are planning to attend our next meeting, please follow the link below to indicate your meal preference.  If your selection is made by NOON on Thursday preceding the meeting, the chef will endeavor to serve your preferred meal.  If you do NOT respond, or respond after Thursday and are planning to attend, you will most likely be served Option B.  Finally, if you are NOT planning to attend the meeting, please indicate that so we will not feel compelled to follow up.
 
Thank you in advance for your attention and cooperation as we strive to iron out the wrinkles in this weekly task.
For details on upcoming speakers, events and service projects, check out the Calendar on our Club website at MontecitoRotary.org.  It is changing regularly, and is your best option for keeping up-to-date on club happenings! 
 
You can even "subscribe" to the calendar and have everything loaded on to your personal calendar!  However, we'll pride you with information here in The AXIS with the next few speakers and events, and you can click on the hyperlinks in each listing to see additional details.
