Can’t believe we’re into the 2nd month of the 2022-23 Rotary year! Our meeting at Mulligans Café was certainly different from our outdoor meetings at past-president Guy de Mangeon’s Hope Ranch home. It was a delight to be entertained by the 2022 Spirit of Fiesta Tara Mata and Junior Spirit of Fiesta Layla Gocong. Unfortunately our guest speaker never showed up but I was able to go over my Goals for the 2022-23 Rotary year. Please see the Goals below:
The Paul Harris Society recognizes Terry Straehley with a certificate thanking him for his generous, ongoing support of the Rotary Foundation.
Immediate Past-President Guy de Mangeon is presented with a past-president pin for his service to Rotary 2021-2022.
2022 Spirit of Fiesta Tara Mata performs a powerful Flamengo dance at our Club meeting/luncheon on 8/3/22.
VIVA la FIESTA!
