Meeting Highlights

Our District 5130 Governor Wulff Reinhold provided a helpful overview of our responsibility as Youth advocates and stewards of their trust and protection.  Rotary International has designed Youth Awareness and Protection Training for various levels of Interact, Rotaract, Student Exchange and Scholarship activities.  From formal orientation to Live Scan fingerprinting, depending on the Youth-Rotarian participation ratio, all members will be receiving their required level of certification.

President Merle receives a prized nose plug from Past President Eloise' recent Senior Synchronized Swimming Championship.

Merle's nose vaunts Eloise clip.

Master Synchronized Swimmer Eloise sought and found GOLD in Tucson!!

Peter Treleaven, USMC, Sunriser and City-wide Veterans Day Coordinator sports his USS Zumwalt memoir from his recent reunion trip to Annapolis.

Peter reminded us to invite Veterans to the City-Wide Veterans Day Luncheon November 9, 11:30 at Veterans Memorial Auditorium Santa Rosa.  Does this profile remind anyone of USO Shows legend??

Jennifer Hembd, Paul O'Rear, Lorenzo Dueñas, Noel Glab and Eloise note President Merle's humor.  Who knows nose??

Harry, Cubs hopeful Coffey sports his vintage Wrigley Field Tommy Bahaman original and hucks bucks for our World Series pool benefiting The Rotary Foundation.

Don "Flo" Floriani lays down the gauntlet to bring in your last minute reservations for our November 12 Culinary Classic~  and wait, there's MORE....

Noel Glab is grinning from both a great Hawaiian vacation, and gustatory masterpiece.  She recited the menu for our Culinary Classic.  Listen to this......

Appetizers of Leek and gruyere tarts, Smoked gouda bites, First Course Crab, mango and avocado timbale with a trio of sauces and topped with micro greens. Complimented with Chardonnay. Second Course Seared Peking duck breast wrapped with duck bacon and served on a bed of pickled beet and orange compote. Paired with Moshin Pinot.  Are you still hungry??  Main course Filet mignon with a truffle demi glaze served with potato gallete and brocholini, perfectly paired with Eric Kent Syrah.  Pause for conversation~~~

Orange Almond cake with an orange crème anglaise completes the fare. 

From the remote hills to urban flatland, Jim Moir stretched his personal tech comfort level with the purchase of a smart phone.  A retired, though fully  fluent engineer, Jim boasted a tried-and-true manual Day Timer whose fate is now uncertain.

Oh well Dan, it's only money.  Peter Hoberg, Doug Shureen and Dave Lorenzen console his gentle loss.  President Merle was merciful in Dan's recognition for his trip to multiple grandchildren.

Relax Brian,  you don't need notes for the Pledge of Allegiance, but Thank You!

Greeter of the Day Viva McKenzie steps nearer her Blue Badge, and demonstrates her exceptional Speech & Language Therapist attention skills.
