| Surprise! Martin Blair Honored for 10 Years of Hosting
Rotaract We celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Downtown Rotaract last Thursday night by surprising our advisor and mentor, Martin Blair. Thanks to everyone for keeping the purpose of the party a secret! Martin showed up at The Bitter End expecting to see us celebrating our International Award and instead was greeted to our surprise cheers and a toast for his generosity and kindness for the club’s entire existence. Past Presidents Scott Carr, Camille Towey, Melissa Stoneham-Chapman, and Evan Papel joined current President Geoff Miller in honoring Martin. Also in attendance were a bevy of current members and lots of former members from throughout the years. Congrats to everyone who has ever been a part of the success of our club over the last decade. Special thanks to Kerrith Gray for organizing the party and the wonderful photo collages we signed and presented to Martin. And a very special thanks to Martin for ten years of outstanding leadership! |

| SD Hospice Check Presentation on June 21 June 21 (Tuesday) 6:30 pm Kansas City BBQ The final tally is in! We raised $3000 for San Diego Hospice and Palliative Care at Ace of Hearts!! This total alone would make for our highest fundraising total ever. But wait…there’s more!! Rotary is matching our donation dollar for dollar for $2000 and 10% of our total beyond that. So we will be presenting SD Hospice with a check for $3000 and Rotary will be matching with a check for $2100.00! The total donated will be $5100.00, a new standard that we can aim for at Jazz for Juvenile Diabetes next Fall. There are many reasons to attend the June 21 meeting and a big one is to be there to help us close the book on our hard work from Ace of Hearts. |
