Bring your wine and sell your tickets!

Wine raffle to be held at the 3/29 regu-

lar meeting. Welcome again, Phil,

Kathryn and Tahir! I might suggest

that you sit at a different table each

week to get to know each member.

Charitable donation request deadline:

March 15, see Gayle Pratt. Premier of

Eric’s Project distracted driver pro-

gram coming in April! CPA Lee Car-

roll, with big assist from Treasurer

Doug Kimberly, doing a great job!

PLEASE PAY YOUR CLUB BILLS

PROMPTLY!! Ron Nanning does

97th induction! Can he do number

100 this Rotary year? Patrice Mosby

gets blue badge, finally! Thinking of

Fred Pratt in India for NID and John

Slocum in Haiti representing us.

Proud to serve this great club!

Our club is collecting the extra soaps,

shampoos, conditioners, lotions, dis-

posable razors, and mouth wash con-

tainers that you get when you spend

the night in a hotel. We collect them

over the course of the year, then in

February and March we bring them to

the Tuesday club meetings and stuff

them in the bucket located somewhere

near to the check in area. I sort these

items and in April we will have a stuff-

ing party, hosted by Hardy and Judy

Hearn. We will stuff an assortment of

these items into ziplok bags and they

will be given to the Good Samaritan

Shelter and to Domestic Violence Solu-

tions to give to their clients. This past

week our club members were ex-

tremely generous and filled the bucket

to overflowing. Many thanks to all

those who “stuffed the bucket” this

week. Please keep the items coming.

Editor’s Note: I have finally learned how to do “imbedded hot links.” In the past you would see the full URL address to the Website. Now you will see verbiage such as “The Rotary Club of Santa Maria” which you can know is a hot link as your cursor will turn into a little hand as you hover over the link. In addition “links” are usually blue in color and underlined. I

hope this makes your reading of The Rotator, on line, more enjoyable and rewarding.
