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.

Rotary of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa joined forces with the other SLO County Rotary Clubs as well as the Interact Club of Bakersfield for a maintenance and work day at the Meadow Park Community Garden.
