What an over the top business social we had this past week, with much praise and thanks to our very own Shannon Hill...
I was first captivated by the amazing weather ordered up, as earlier in the day all over the central coast was either sweating hot or verging tornado winds. Well I guess Cuesta decided to make sure our club was comfortable to enjoy the beautiful live music, incredible snacks along side the wonderful inebriations. The evening included wonderful fellowship while we all had much to discuss and ponder. Tours of the behind the scenes education of the performing arts department really was both interesting and brought the youthfulness of some of our long ago graduates in our club. I could quickly tell who the class clowns were (Fuentes & Quaglino) and who the teachers pets were (Thomas & Lewis), but I'm not saying any names. I was fighting to keep with the crowd in my high heels to not miss a beat, and lets just say it was worth the blister later. The night concluded with an incredible art showing featuring the thought provoking artwork by Irene Hardwicke Olivieri. This art left us all questioning the life stories engrossed on canvas and even more interesting was the art designed with rodent bones. As if all that wasn't enough we were gifted with reusable bags so we can save those dimes spent on bags to serve our rotarian mission. I know some stayed into the night later, but my feet told me I better go home and put some slippers on...
Thank you Thank you and Thank you again Shannon for all you gifted our club with having such a fun an interactive night... Cuesta College is truly a wonderful school!!!

Thanks to Pierre Rademaker for unveiling my amazing President's Club Board! And a huge thank you to the following members who volunteered to join the President's Club which allows us to support Charities in San Luis Obispo: Dave Hicks (whose donation earned him the top spot), Dave Juhnke, Ermina Karim, Lilliana Graham, Jon Pollack, Amy Kardel, Donna Lewis, Laura Krueger, Sandra Lee, Debby Nicklas, Berta Diamond, Bill Herreras, Tom Zehnder, Carl Dudley, Melinda Thomas, Marti Lindholm, Paul Ready, Lyle Meek, Susan Dressler, Garret Olson, Dan O'Hare, Steve Lombardi, Jeff Priolo, Pat Mullen, Jeff Buckingham, Mac McNamara, Sorina Carabeth, Jeanne Potter, Steve Johnson, Jeff Garza, Phill Koziel, Steve Harding, Tim Williams, Rick Owens, Ron Regier, Kevin Main, Bud Dressler, Mark Shelton, Lynne Callahan, Mary Verdin,John Conner, Ranelle Franklin, Mary Vickers, Pierre Rademaker, Bernadette Bernardi, Jenifer Rhymes, Allen Settle, Heather Cochrane, Leslie McKinley, Carl Dudley, Paige Chamberlain Gay Spencer, Natalie Tartaglia, Ali Jansen, John Semon, Madelyn Stringham, Tim Cleath, Mike Smith, Allegra Marquardt, Debbie Trout, Brian Metcalf, Steve Lerian & Chris Gardner.
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.
Our happy President Dave Juhnke prepares for the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting.
The Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa in California granted I Care International $1,500 for sunglasses, readers, and special orders for the Pachacamac, Peru trip in March 2015.
Sandra Lee, Martha Lindholm, and Charlene Rosales represented Rotary in San Luis Obispo as volunteers on the trip. Dr. Rupert Chowins, one of the volunteer optometrists on the trip, used the donation to purchase 600 pairs of sunglasses, 700 readers, and approximately 66 special order prescriptions. The San Luis Obispo Noor Foundation will donate the frames for the special orders, many of which will go to children.
Thank you to Rotary de Tolosa, Dr. Chowins, and the Noor Foundation in San Luis Obispo for helping approximately 1,400 individuals at the clinic who otherwise wouldn’t have received the gift of improved vision. In addition to the readers and sunglasses, 1,100 pairs of glasses were distributed at the clinic.
Amy Kardel returned this weekend from New Delhi after participating in the Polio National Immunization Day in India. The team of 18 Rotarians led by PDG Anil Garg represented our district and were part of the 300 Rotarians from around the world that helped immunize 170 million children in the week long campaign. Amy was impressed by the level of detail in the plan to make sure each child was reached. For example, 100,000 children were immunized on moving trains and every dwelling's door was marked with chalk and noted in a micro plan overseen by WHO. We should be proud to be part of this monumental effort.
