President Whitehurst called the meeting to order at 7:35 a.m. and also provided the invocation . Mel led us in the salute to our flag and quickly realized that the military includes women as well as men.
Jonathan Stone made a plea for donations and participation in our annual golf fundraiser to be held on October 19. It was announced that we plan to digitalize our website to include our charter members and all of our visitor’s flags that we have collected over the years. This definitely would add a colorful sight to our site! Aunt Maggie’s cookies went for $20 and Maureen Eberle was the high bidder for 2 tickets to Humphreys on 9/29. She paid $150 (value $124) Way to go Maureen!
Always cheerful, Pete McGuire, welcomed several guests today including District Governor, Jim O'Meara.

Jim O’Meara presented a Paul Harris to member Susan Bleicher. She received her pin from Mel.

Carl Lower– Assistant district governor- announced the Foundation Seminar scheduled for this Saturday at the Salk Institute. So far, 9 members of our club will be in attendance.
Carl Lower introduced Jim O’Meara, Rotary district governor, who spoke on our annual theme, “Rotary Shares.” With the help of PowerPoint, he discussed the 9 points of the theme: Club service, Community, Vocational, International, Water Management, Hunger Alleviation, :Health, Literacy and The Family of Rotary. He referenced several important Rotarians in history: Arch Klumph, who founded Rotary International and created the office of District Governor (1916-1917) Big Jim Davidson was the Club builder across the world (Middle East, India) including 23 Clubs between Europe and Asia. Davidson and Paul Harris led us in great humanitarian projects.
Jim also reminded us that Nick Phillips will be the keynote speaker on 9/8 at the District seminar. He will speak on Aids in Africa. The Foundation Gala is on Nov. 17 at the Hilton/Mission Bay. Carolyn Jones, the first female trustee for the Rotary Foundation, will be the featured speaker. Jim also asked Rotary to create a model for the world by providing matching grants to help District 9270 (NE Africa) to combat aids for African orphans (850,000 orphans in this district). April 18-20, 2006 will be our District conference at the Bahia in San Diego. Mia Farrow (polio survivor) will the keynote speaker.
