Dear fellow Rotarians,
 
As autumn surrounds us with its colors of abundance and renewal, we’re reminded of the spirit of Rotary — friendship, purpose, and service. This month of Polio Awareness and the approaching holidays invite us to reflect on where we’ve been, celebrate where we are, and look with hope to where we’re headed.
 
Let us embrace this season of opportunity — to volunteer, to engage our community, and to lift one another up. Together, as one Rotary family, we can make this fall not just a season of change, but a season of impact.

Singing is back at the Rotary Club of Montecito. 
 
At our last meeting, member Steve Davis introduced us to a song about a frog who "ain't got no tail almost hardly".  And President Sese has promised to sing at a future meeting, so more music is in store.
