Ain't we the best! What an afternoon!

 

 

 

 

Dear Marcela who has been with the club for 6 years, and a wonderful Treasurer will be surely missed. Marcela had to make the decision to leave the club because she and her Husband Jerry are moving to Sacramento. We wish them the best and hope to see them at our Crab Feeds, Christmas Parties and other Rotary events in the years to come. Miss you......but happy for you and wishing you the best of times ahead!
