Tonight, on a special evening meeting, we celebrated our Rotary Club's 40th Anniversary.
Looking back, we remembered all of our past president's with a special fundraising cube drawing that gave one winner $1,000 (see the end of the bulletin for details).
Past President Kevin Walthers gave a video presentation that tugged at our memory banks. He also gave us a few laughs as well as heartfelt memories of members that are no longer with us. A short skit was was also presented by members Mason Frakes, Leonard Champion and Jason Francia who portrayed three founding members Dave Wright, Jerry Walsh and Pat McDermott.
Past President Mark Jackson then took over the reigns as he passed the torch to each attending member as they told the story of their membership and the great memories and friendships they have developed over the years.
All in all it was a great meeting that everyone enjoyed. Many thanks go out to the Anniversary Committee for all their hard work and also to Toyota of Santa Maria and Testa Catering for the event site and the wonderful food!
Here's to another 40+ Years!!
