Our Speaker
Our club was treated to a very personal and inspirational talk this week from our Governor, Marilyn Sanderson.
Governor Sanderson shared her personal story of being introduced into Rotary while traveling in Australia and subsequently getting hooked on Rotary while on service missions in Kenya and Tijuana.
Her overriding message was that we need to REACH OUT to people and ASK THEM TO ATTEND A MEETING!
Governor Sanderson was a delight to have visit our club. What a genuine and sincere person she is and a great representative of what Rotary stands for.
Governor Sanderson has a very entertaining and animated style about her as she describes her personal story of Rotary.
Announcements & Happy 5"s
Alison Cummings - Alison shared with us that Ginger's son, Jean, has been in the hospital for several days with a very serious and life threatening issue with his appendix. He is in recovery now and is expected to be coming home this week.
Cheryl Minshew - Cheryl will be taking some time off due to a pending surgery. We all prey that Cheryl's surgery goes well and she recovers very quickly. Charlie will be leading our meetings for the next few weeks.
Max Wright and Jamie Lundy: Max and Jamie both commented on how nice it was to witness the recent Grant Night Dinner. Max shared with everyone that Alexandria, head of the San Diego Youth Symphony, shared a story about our grant changing the life of a young student. The student was taking chello lessons when her mother and father both lost their jobs on the same day. the family became destitute over night. The girl wanted to become a demon on the chello and thought her chances were a fantasy. Our grant was used to provide the student with private chello lessons. with those lessons, she did become a demon on the chello. She was subsequently awarded a full scholarship in music to UC Berkely. Upon graduation, she landed a job in Hollywood in the music industry and is doing very well. All of this was due to our small Rotary grant applied in the right way. What an amazing story. By the way, we only had 21 Rotarians attend the Grant Night Dinner this year. What a shame if you weren't there for the great stories!
Roger Holtsclaw - Roger shared with us that his daughter asked him to speak to her class of 5th graders. The program was called "Biz Town" and Roger shared everything about Rotary with the class. Way to go Roger!
