I Care International. I Care's goal is to help others improve their quality of life by providing the gift of better vision and health.  This year AVID students provided a total of 500 hours to prepare the glasses.   Our missions to Mexico, Central and South American are made possible by the students of Paso Robles High School, Pacific Beach and Paloma High School, 
 
 
From the little boy who smiles because now he sees the clouds in the sky, to the older lady who cries because now she can sew and have an income, I Care International is changing lives one by one.
 
I Care International, Inc. is a non-religious, non-political, non-discriminatory organization.  I Care's goal is to help others improve their quality of life by providing the gift of better vision and health.
A 4H Success

 
Well done BBQ team, and event co-chairs Hannah Liquie Naitove and Ian Treacher. The 4H BBQ was a success. We had approximately 45 Rotarians and 28 4H kids and parents. The food was excellent and the 4H speakers were interesting and entertaining. Thank you all for putting in the extra time to make this event a success. And thank you to Bill Herreras for keeping us connected with 4H again this year. 
 
We're back to a regular meeting this week at the Madonna Inn. Aaah... just sit back and relax. 
 
And don't forget to sign up for April 6th Botanical Garden Rotarian's at Work day. An easy way to connect with your fellow Rotarians, nature, and service above self. 
 
See you on Wednesday!
Serving 40 Prado
Posted by Jan Marx on Feb 19, 2019

Serving dinner at 40 Prado February 18 was a great success! One hundred twenty five homeless people enjoyed a warm dinner and Rotarians had fun working together!

The following Rotarians provided food and/or served homeless people a dinner of lasagna, salad, rolls, bananas, oranges, cookies and milk: John Wallace, Leslie McKinley, Jeff Pirolo, Chris Gardner, Jennifer Rhymes, Brooke Salvini (wife of John), Jan Marx, Sandra Duerr. Other volunteers Orlando, a Cal Poly architecture student and Jay Hieatt, local attorney also helped out.

Passing the "hat" on February 6, the club donated $237. Of that, $199 was reimbursed to purchasers of lasagna, milk and rolls. Providers of cookies, salad and fruit did not want reimbursement. I estimate that, if they had, that would have added another $100, making a total of $300 needed to provide dinner.

So, do we want to do this again March 18? Do you think members would donate $300 to make this happen?  Please let Jan Marx know. If you would like to provide food or serve March 18, please sign up right away.

 

Thanks Laura Krueger for donating your Paul Harris Points & Congrats to Paul Harris Recipients
Posted by Melinda Thomas on Aug 15, 2018
I'd like to thank Laura Krueger for generously donating her Paul Harris Points when she resigned from the Club (hopefully temporarily while pursuing her Masters Degree).  Rotary Foundation was always important to Laura and she was able to help match dollars for Charmaine, Marti & Bernadette to bring them to full Paul Harris levels.  Laura was recognized as Rotarian of the Year for her work as our club's Foundation Chair.
 
Congratulations to Allegra & Natalie who achieved their Paul Harris levels as well.  Donations to Rotary International Foundation help valuable causes throughout the world and even assist with our own club's Vocational Scholarships.

A tribute to the Finest of Rotarians, Barry Karleskint
Posted by Cheryl Wakefield on Mar 12, 2018
 Today, and for many days to come, we will be celebrating the passing of Barry Karleskint. As club members and friends, there is no doubt that each one of us has a story to share about our most beloved Rotarian. He was Brave, Strong, and Thoughtful in every manner of his life. He held us true to our goals and standards as our Parlimentarian and a 30 year member of Rotary De Tolosa. We will miss him, but not forget him as we share with each other our memories. At this time, Brenda has no outstanding needs. She is with family and will let Garret know if there are any needs or updates. She knows how much we love her and Barry, and that it would be our honor to help in any way. Garret will update us with news or needs as soon as there is anything to report. For now, Please take a moment of reflection to remember our dear, dear friend, Barry Karlerskint.
