Hi everyone,

I hope you're all having a great week!

This Tuesday, we're taking Old Mission Rotary on the road for a special field trip to the beautiful Wylde Horses Ranch in Valley Center!

Some of you may remember Rachael Martin, founder of Wylde Horses, who visited our club earlier this year. Now, she's inviting us to experience the ranch firsthand!

Wylde Horses provides equine-assisted programs that help individuals build confidence, develop skills, and improve their well-being through interactions with horses.

We're looking forward to a fun and interactive experience at this beautiful ranch, where we'll learn more about their work, enjoy some hands-on activities, and spend time together outside our usual meeting setting.

It's also a wonderful opportunity to see the impact of an organization supported by our Art Pratt Foundation.

CLUB FUNDRAISER Committee Meeting - Monday Oct. 26 - Everyone is Invited!

Hello Old Mission Rotary Club Members!

Please join me on our first committee planning call next Monday, October 26 at 6:00pm, via Google Meet. 

It's time to start planning this year's club fundraiser. We are going to do something new and different this year including who we invite to help coordinate the event. All club members, their spouses, and children are invited to be part of this year's Club Fundraising Committee. Also, anyone from Thousand Smiles who would also like to participate, is welcome as well. 

I have been looking at locations and hope for us all to make a decision by early November. If between now and next Monday you have a wonderful idea for a venue, please email me. Think creatively and we will come up with a wonderful location. 

Please RSVP via this email and I will send a Google Meeting Invitation.

I am looking forward to creating a wonderful event with everyone. 

Thank you for helping!

See you soon.

District 5340 Oktoberfest

Matt Risi represented Old Mission Rotary at the District 5340 Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 17th. The event raised funds for district youth programs. 

Matt made a fool of himself in the best dressed and yodeling competitions but did not win.
