Dear Fellow Rotarians:
 
Well here we go, our busiest time of the year.  The 15th annual Valentine’s Day Wine Tasting Event was held this past week.  It always amazes me what a 30+ member club can accomplish every year.  Every single member plays a part in this event, either physically (setup/take down), time (gathering items for the silent auction, selling tickets and haha, buying tickets).
 
We had a wonderful “foundation” at the Civic Center.  For new members it was a time to learn more about Rotary and how the foundation works, for old timers like myself, it gave us a boost to continue what we do and do well.  Raise money.
 
We are also lucky to have Ken Obenski who is the one booking our speakers.  We had the Honorable Mayor Harry Kim at our meeting this week, who gave us a sneak preview of where he stands with Mauna Kea……I’ll keep you in suspense, watch for it in the paper next week.
 
Thank you all, Laura
