Why Attend Rotary International Conventions?

Posted by Sherry Sim
We celebrated Kathy’s birthday, had many Happy Bucks, Emily Campbell was named Rotarian of the Month, and DGE Sherry Sim gave an outstanding presentation on the Rotary International Conferences. It was mainly about the 11 that she has attended, including most recently, Melbourne, and she used a slide show and video that she put together with beautiful video and pictures! She was trying to recruit more members to attend since she has had such great experiences, but we do have Sherry, President Scotty McManus and PE Dave Nygren who will be representing our club. Our Rotary rides the wave!

This short video shows the work of New Life K9, a 501c3 organization that Cayucos Rotary has supported since its inception. This Rotary year, Cayucos Rotary donated $2,000 to the organization to support their training of K9 to help veterans and first responders with PTSD challenges.
 
The organization is also working with California Men's Colony where inmates are recruited to help train the puppies. Training usually takes a year. The dogs bring hope and purpose to the inmates, who are less likely to relapse into infractions and the result is less taxing on the taxpayers. Credit : photos are from NewLifeK9 FB Page.

Supporting Cayucos Harvest Bag

Posted by Sherry Sim on Apr 08, 2020
 
Cayucos Rotary has donated $5,000 to support Harvest Bag operated by Cayucos Community Church. For the past 10 years, Cayucos Community Church has been providing bags of food to families in need. Each bag, estimated to be worth about $20 in food, contains milk, bread, eggs, tuna, butter, peanut jelly,  macaroni and cheese, and some produce like tomatoes, potatoes and onion etc. About 48 bags are given out daily; or to approximately 48 households.  
 
Terry Bettenton, church member who's been helping with the program over the years stated "Today is a good day as each household is getting a bag of groceries, a bag of produce and a bag of a frozen chicken. These came from the Food Bank today". Terry shared that about 35 persons came to get food last week.  With more filing for unemployment, Terry expected more families in need, as the numbers had been growing daily from 35 to 44, 46 and 48 today.

Cayucos' New Sewer Plant

Posted by Sherry Sim on Feb 06, 2020
In lieu of our usual Rotary meeting, Cayucos Rotarians visited the new sewer plant facility at Toro Creek and were educated on the progress and goals of the Sanitary District. Cayucans are proud of the Cayucos Sanitary District's hard work on the new sewer plant, which is due to be completed in October 2020. Construction is slated to cost about $25 million ~ under budget. It's exciting that Cayucos should be able to disconnect and operate independently of Morro Bay by early 2021. A 10-year plan is in place to create a recycling water plan - water from toilet to tap. For more info on the Cayucos Sustainable Water Project, check out the attached handouts or visit Cayucos Sanitary District.

Trained Service Dogs Help Veterans with PTSD

Posted by Sherry Sim on Jul 18, 2019
Great program featuring New Life K9's training of service dogs to help veterans and first responders with PTSD.  Jack Gould, President of New Life K9, based in San Luis Obispo, shared that Cayucos Rotary was the first service club to support their program. The program has expanded to include inmates at California Mens Colony to help train the dogs, which helps to reduce the cost of training. Not only are veterans and first-responders with PTSD helped, the inmates get a chance to be rehabilitated and avoid relapses, which in turn, results in savings on funding prisons.  Cayucos Rotary presented New Life K9 with a $2,000 check donation to support their program.

Mother Theresa, an exemplary forerunner who served all her life, said it well, 
""Peace begins with a smile,
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.""

Let's us smile with our hearts as we serve together.

The holiday spirit is alive in Cayucos as the merchants prepare for the annual community wide Christmas Party to take place on December 9th.  In addition to being able to shop for all of those one-of-a-kind beautiful and unique Cayucos treasures on that day, visitors will find many fun activities including face painting, a visit from Santa, and two horse drawn carriages to keep you in the spirit of the season.  This is an event not to be missed!

We received a wonderful overview of EcoRotary from their President as he explained the club’s commitment to the reuse-reduce-recycle programs.  They help sponsor a park and golf course in Morro Bay to keep them at zero waste.  Much of what the club does is educate people in how to clean up our environment.  EcoRotary partners with Rotaract and Interact.

  • Liz Gray gave a report on where we stand with Creative Mediation.  It is a three year commitment and we will be starting year two at the start of the new school year.  A refresher course will be given to the members who participated in the program last year.  The Cayucos School has reported that they are pleased with the benefits they are receiving from the program.
  • District Simplified Grant meeting, Monday, July 11th
  • Judy Salamacha, visiting Rotarian and today’s guest speaker.  Judy is a writer who came to the Central Coast eight years ago from Bakersfield.  Here she joined the Morro Bay Rotary of which she is now a past President.  One of Judy’s passions is the spelling bee at Cayucos Elementary School, which she was instrumental in getting started.  She would love to see our club in the audience when they hold their spelling bees, as it adds another level of interest and excitement to have more than just parents in attendance when they are competing.  Another huge passion is the Central Coast Writers’ Conference which she is intensely involved with.  It will be held 9/16-17, anyone can attend, even if you want to self publish.  The cost is only $139.  There will be an amazing array of writers on hand during the workshops to learn from.  Flyers were distributed.
  • Meeting adjourned 8:00 AM.

"Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves?" to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today."
