Wooldridge's Words for October 13
Last Wednesday’s Breakfast Rotary meeting certainly provided plenty to get up for. For one thing President Jeff Haynes has been delivering some pretty energy filled meetings, Pete Leveroni has continued to bring our members “top-notch” speakers, and the latest news on all the upcoming activities our club is organizing which is something you just do not want to miss! All I have to say is if you have not attended5 a meeting lately, you are missing out. So come join the fun and plan on seeing us this week at Lino’s Venue.
 
With the line-up of Mary Jo Pasek and Past President Kay Pitts, we got our Invocation and America’s Flag Salute off to a roaring start! President Jeff quickly snapped into announcing anniversaries. First, recognizing Pete and Michelle Leveroni who are celebrating 36 years as husband and wife, and Rotary anniversaries of Teresa Ramos-Alvarez and Jeff Bell, 18 and 12 years, respectfully.

You are invited to "an evening to experience ShelterBox"
Each year, ShelterBox holds a benefit highlighting the lifesaving work the generous support of our donors has enabled. We hope you will join us for an hour of inspiration as we share exclusive updates from ShelterBox Response Team members on our current response efforts. Whether you are new to ShelterBox or a long-time supporter, the Evening to Experience ShelterBox is an hour of inspiration, hope, and stories that personify “Service Above Self”. You will hear from families whose lives were transformed after receiving ShelterBox aid.
 
Our event will be held on Thursday, November 4, 2021, at 8:00 pm ET / 5:00 pm PT.
 
ShelterBox is the official project partner with Rotary International for disaster relief.  “Through this project partnership, Rotary members around the globe can collaborate with ShelterBox to support communities in desperate need of emergency temporary shelter and vital supplies following natural disasters.” – John Hewko, General Secretary and Chief Executive Officer, Rotary International.
 
An Evening to Experience ShelterBox is free to attend, registration is required.
