At our first meeting of the term I introduced a new program called Rotary de Tolosa Fellowships.  Fellowships are small gatherings of club members who share a common passion.  For example, our Pilots in the club might be interested in the Flying Rotarians Fellowship.  Our Golfers might enjoy the Golfing Rotarians.  Other interests might include;  Fishing, Hiking, Beer, Wine Tasting, Int'l Cruisine for the cooks, Cycling, RV'ing.  I'll be handing out a sign up sheet at the next meeting to get a feeling on what hobbies interest you.  After that we'll enlist the help of one member to organize one event in the year where other Rotarians and their spouses/significant others can join in.  Fellowships give members a chance to get together in small groups and just do something fun.  We also hope spouses/significant others will join in to give them a chance to meet other Rotarians on a smaller scale.  Our District Theme is to "Enjoy Rotary" and that is what Fellowships are all about. 

On April 27th 2015, The Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, along with the Rotary Club of SLO Daybreak, the Rotaract Club of SLO, and the Rotary Club of SLO, hosted a dedication and ribbon cutting of the new San Luis Obispo Airport Viewing Platform.
