A well-attended Breakfast Rotary meeting is a sight for sore eyes, and speaking about sore eyes, I’ll bet your eyes have been stinging a bit with all these fires in California lately! Well our own Breakfast Rotary duty members took whatever sting in our eyes out and replaced it with some tears as the threesome of Past Presidents Jerry Starr, Denise Haynes and member “always in good standing” Mary Jo Pasek lead us in our Invocation, Morning Song and America’s Pledge of Allegiance, respectively. Denise, who I am pretty sure by the songs she picks for us to sing has a passion to be a mountain hikin’ kindergarten teacher, had us sing “Little Light of Mine”.
Initially, President Dave Spalinger announced that there were no visiting Rotarians and then it was revealed through Zoom that Past President Don Trybul was online with us along with about a dozen current members. Thanks Kathy Berry, who is general manager at the Yolk, for being such a marvelous host. The Yolk has proven to be a pretty spiffy place to meet on Wednesday mornings!
Special thanks to member Ken Quarnberg, who was not present at Wednesday’s meeting, for serving as our acting president for last week’s meeting. I’ll bet that Ken’s morning absence was due to that president job being pretty taxing. Stand-by Breakfast Rotarians, your day at the podium leading is coming soon!
Breakfast Rotary Birthdays include Heath Niemeyer (who on the 10th and Sally Selby on Sept. 11th. Happy Birthday to you both!
Breakfast Rotary Anniversaries include Grandpa Dr. Joe Nunez DDS 33 years (whoa!), and Sally Selby and Chelsea Ashcraft are 1 year each. Old Joe and young Sally and Chelsea you are all celebrated and we are all better for your membership.
‘Ol President Dave tried to trick, or scare members and it’s not even Halloween yet! He asked members what was the Beacon secret clue for this week. Shakin’ in her boots, new member Cheryl Rydia did not know. But that was OK because Perky Dave Perkins came along on his white horse and saved the damsel in distress. Dave revealed that there was No Clue! Therefore, No Fine!
All of our known BBRC images that resided with BBRC historians over the years have been digitized. I will be showcasing a few each week. All of them (and more) are available on the "Photo Albums" link in the top Navigation Pane.
This week we are looking at Socials for which we have photos from 1997-2014
