President's Pen

The words on that fantastic cake express my sentiments precisely for the privilege of holding the gavel of Sunrise President this past year! This past Saturday's Debunking swingingly sealed the record on my living the dream of Past Rotary International President Cliff Dochterman's ode: "If I Could Be President Again" I woke up to the truth of the Fifth Way-Test: "WILL EVERYONE HAVE FUN? I sure did!!!

and the food was great too

Immediate Past President Doug Shureen `with creative spouse Barbara and energetic daughter Maddy crafted a classic car theme paired to Rich's automotive affinity.

Zoe Fuentes, Carmen's 5 month-young knows she is in the caring confident hands of Penny Millar, mom & grandma several times over.

Fonseca's Javier, Ana Lucia and Luciana, longtime friends of Sunrise joined to toast and mildly roast Rich.

Prominent in this shot are supportive spouses Dee Dee Bridges by Max, Carol Carlenzoli and Leroy, and Ardys Jones flanking John. Cheers for our tolerant tandems.

Paul's interest in membership has a focus on a more youthful demographic.

Marty Behr, Incoming President has a dawning realization that his three-year waiting period is OVER!

Carmen even got a chance to hold her Zoe.

Maddy Shureen added her vitality, decorating and recent travel accounts.

Get a grip Rich, or at least a good magnet. Golden Hammer Leroy Carlenzoli gave Rich a comprehensive tool tutoring, capped off with a drilling skill-test which Leroy handily won. Rich learned a few new tools he could use and Betsy lamentably looked on with thoughts of less room in the garage!

Yes, the Fifth-Way Test makes our time together a fest!

Ana Lucia Fonseca brought her classic charm and smile.

Doug masterfully Emcee'd the event, with his honed skill of oratory, text and Fifth-Way jest & fest: Thank you Doug!!
