ROTARY HAPPY HOUR
Thursday, March 23, 2017
5-7 pm
The Garden
38 West Victoria
Join us for happy hour gathering at The Garden in the Santa Barbara Public Market. Happy hour is 3-6 pm.
Each year a distinguished Rotarian is selected as the worldwide president of Rotary International. The process begins two years in advance when a 15-person nominating committee is elected from separate regions of the world.
The committee convenes in September to select the Rotarian to be the presidential nominee. His name is announced to all clubs. Any Rotary club may make an additional nomination before 1 December, which must then be endorsed by one percent of all the Rotary clubs of the world.
If such an event occurs, an election is held by mail ballot. If no additional nomination is presented by the clubs, the person selected by the nominating committee is declared to be the president-nominee. From that point on, that special Rotarian and spouse will spend more than a year in preparation and then a year serving the Rotarians of the world as the international president.
This is one of a series of short articles about Rotary written by Cliff Dochterman, PRIP, and originally published in the Rotary publication, The ABCs of Rotary.

ROTARY PIN CHALLENGE - Week 38
In honor of Women’s History Month, I wear my 20th Anniversary of Women in Rotary pin I received ten years ago. In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Rotary clubs may not exclude women from membership on the basis of gender. I cannot imagine Rotary without the dedication, service, and friendship of so many wonderful female Rotarians.
I have challenged myself to wear my Rotary pin EVERY day. By doing this I hope to raise awareness of Rotary and Rotary's work. I invite all Sunrise Rotarians to join me in wearing a Rotary pin EVERY day.
By Karen Kawaguchi, Club Service Director
