One thing I really enjoy so much about being a Breakfast Rotarian is the fellowship we have for one another. As some choose to shelter-in-place and participate through Zoom, many are actively participating in attending meetings at The Broken Yolk. Rotarian Kathy Berry and her restaurant staff are doing a stellar job at making us feel right at home at The Yolk. We thank her for tolerating the sometimes over-exuberance of our taste-buds’ joy after biting into those fabulous hash brown potatoes or fluffy pancakes over a cup of delicious hot coffee. Secondly, our meeting enthusiasm leaves nothing to be desired as our meetings are spirited and uplifting. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, whether it be by Zoom or by choosing to attend in person, there is no better way to begin a morning than with other Rotarians. If you have not been visiting as a member lately, start your Wednesday mornings out right Breakf ast Rotarians and attend a meeting soon…it makes a BIG difference in your day! Past President Denise Haynes lead us in our morning Invocation as Sergeant-of-Arms Temo Lopez lead us in America’s Flag Salute. Denise boomeranged back for our morning song. A most fitting song for a perfect day was selected by Denise. “If You’re Happy and You Know It” was the song of the day…you know the song. It is one where you stomp your feet, raise your hands and stuff. Thanks, Denise, for leading us in song and burning some calories at the same time. Again, no visiting Rotarians…hey they may not be meeting at their regular spot, so invite a Rotarian to join us! Sandra Parnell will do anything to get out of paying fine, so what does she do? She brought husband John as it is their wedding anniversary! Congratulations on your first-year anniversary. We did have one Zoom guest. Veronica Smiddle with Special Olympics of Kern County found BBRC on the web. She was especially interested in hearing Chief Terry’s talk. Welcome Veronica and ho pe to meet you in person at a meeting soon. Our birthday Rotarians were Bill Black and Past President Mike O’Doherty. Happy Birthday boys! |
One of the things I love about Bakersfield is the quality and talented people we have in this great town. For example, our own Dave Perkins. He is the owner and publisher of a magazine called Seven Oaks Living. This is a high end, very nice magazine. Something you would see in the LA market but we have it in Bako. I love that. Great article in it with John Guerard about what we, as Rotarians, do for our community. If you get a chance to pick up this magazine and read the article it’s a good one. My question to Dave Perkins is, when are you coming out with another magazine called Bakersfield Country Club Living or East Side Living?
