Last chance to sign up for the Rotary International District Conference. It will be a great event in San Luis Obispo on Oct. 24 -26. Ask Deepa for an application. Hearst Castle tour, Paso Robles Winery tour & Box Lunch, Edna Valley Tour, Nipomo Flower Growers' Tour as well as the Governor's Gala Dinner and Dance are a few of the attractions. Let's get behind this important function and enjoy the camaraderie ! Our GSE team from Romania is here now and will be feted by all our valley clubs. It is a treat to talk with them and to help them achieve their goals in coming here. It was a shame to have to cancel our proposed bike ride. Both Jeff Cotter and Paul Matthies have great ideas for other fundraisers, however, and we will get to work on those. Don't miss next week's speaker on Money Management. It is reported to be an outstanding message and may keep you from having to support your grown kids ! Bertha Foxen, manager of Mid State Bank was inducted as a rookie member of SYV Rotary on Oct. 8. She was sponsored by Rich Saferite. Bertha grew up in E. Los Angles and graduated from Mt. San Antonio College with a degree in Administration of J ustice. She came to our valley with her husband Dave in 1981. She and Dave are parents of two daughters Ashley and Samantha. Dave’s great, great, great, great grandfather was William Benjamin Foxen who gave his name to Foxen Canyon and Foxen Canyon Road. Bertha’s hobbies are reading, walking, snow skiing, shooting and family activities. She wants to help the community through Rotary. Let’s join her. Last month Anabelle Dalberg underwent hand surgery to correct a problem with her thumb. She was back on the organ bench last Sunday. Eight hundred Rotarians from 22 States and 30 countries attended the Rotary/UN Day at the UN headquarters in New York on October 4th. RI President Jonathan Majiyagbe spoke and in his address said “Together, the UN and Rotary are like members of an extended family, a family that shares core values and a common vision. I think this vision was so eloquently expressed by John F. Kennedy who said, ‘We must seek a world of peace in which people dwell together in mutual respect and work together in mutual regard.’” The Object of rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: Wednesday Oct 22, 2003 @ 12:10PM The Money Camp: "Lessons that last a lifetime" Teach your kids about money! 5th Wednesday Oct. 29, 2003 @ 12:10PM Dinner at the Alisal Ranch Grill.
