What a wonderful evening at Los Gatos' Viva on Saturday, October 22, 2011...  Over 50 Rotarians and guests got together for a bit of fellowship, fun, learning and support of our Club's RYLA program.  The evening was highlighted by an educational forum and then tasting of Scotch Whisky, also, a number of raffle gifts were award to several lucky attendees.  Mixing and mingling with some of the nicest Rotarians and their guest added to a very elegant evening.  Stories of tasting and more will be remembered long after this event.
