Dear Cap-Ap Rotarians
Our 2/22/24 meeting at Seascape had 21 attendees in person and 4 on zoom
Lowry steered us through the meeting with his usual grace and style
UTI was AWOL but not to fear- through the resourcefulness of Nelson and Kendra we were treated to video/audio recorded renditions of the Welcome Song and 4 Way test song.
Dr. Art’s thought- freedom of speech means the ability to tell people what they don’t want to hear;
Apparently we didn’t hear it last week
Rich was the jokester- including one about Bill Clinton getting an irate call from Hillary about being pregnant and him asking, “who is this?” hopefully that joke occurred a few decades ago…and another one about getting poked in the eye that was quite funny… you will have to have him re-tell it
Sandy announced that we now have 8 grant applicants- the deadline to apply is March 1st.
We can still use a few members to help
The treasure cove fundraiser is at Seascape 3/22- we can use more sponsors, donations and raffle prizes. Al, Becky, Michele and Pam have recruited a number of donors and sponsors already — please invite others and use the link on our website to get your tickets.
THE SPEECH CONTEST HAS BEN CANCELLED BECAUSE THE KIDS SAID THEY WERE TOO BUSY, SO THERE IS NO CLUB MEETING THIS WEEK.
The Foundation meeting is at Al’s office.
Paul told us that we should all look for and post comments on Kendra’s Linked In posts to generate more views. The algorithms give priority to posts that get more comments. Contact him if you have trouble joining Linked In.
Detective Kendra learned us that there were several important days last week including national margarita day and national sweet potato day. So her detecting was to ask people for stories/adventures about those staples of the American diet. Not surprisingly there were many more stories about maragritas.
We did not have a speaker because we focused on the Treasure Cove fundraiser
Pam gave us more details: Doug and Diane are donating- we need high end wine, not the $15 per bottle kind; tables for 8 can be purchased.
Ken’s announcements:
The national champion Stanford men’s gymnastics team is having a competition against Oklahoma-2d best team in the country- at 4pm on Saturday, March 16, at Burnham Pavillion. More than half the Olympic team will be competing. Admission might be $5, or free. The drive is an hour, parking is free. The meet will last 2-2.5 hours.
