Happy thoughts centered around our beautiful weather, early spring, filing taxes, and the completion of the Whidbey Children's Theater Landscape project. Clyde spoke for several minutes regarding this project, detailing the amount of work completed by our club. A huge thanks to Clyde Monma, Billy Ducharme, and Ed Halloran who made this project possible.
 
Billy and Ed were presented with Rotary Peace and Understanding Pins for their efforts on this project as well the work they did for the Christmas tree fundraiser and their unending donation of time and talent for all they do for the club.
 
Lynn Waldrop spoke about our upcoming Pancake Breakfast project. Held at the South Whidbey Senior Center, this pancake breakfast supports Meals on Wheels. Thank you to everyone who is donating their time this Saturday.
 
Lyn also talked about the upcoming District Assembly. This is an educational summit for Rotarians to learn more about Rotary. Please contact Lyn if you would like to attend, as the club will pay for this expense.
 
Gordy gave us an update on Jose and Jack, who are traveling to Hawaii this year. You can buy ticket's for this even online at http://rotarywestside.com
Reminder: The roadside cleanup project is scheduled for March 28th at 9:30 A.M. We'll meet for lunch at Greenbank Grill after. 
 
Lynn Waldrop spoke at length about her recent experience at PETS (President Elect Training Seminar). It was a great experience, with many wonderful and moving speakers and a plethora of educational opportunities. Remember, all of you can have this same great experience, you just need to sign up to be our next President!
