This Week’s Meeting And AnnouncementS

Beautiful Clear and Sunny Day with a visibility of 100 miles Coronado Islands clearly visible from high atop the Copley Towers.

The Rotary Club Meeting was called to order by its president Gary Green at 7:25 AM on the Dot.  Gary provided a brief recap of the “Polio Tees Us Off” Golf Tournament. Thanking all club participants, contributors, sponsors, friends, and Rotaract helpers.  Gary gave a special thank you to “the most organized woman I have ever met: Carol Jensen who made the entire tournament day a relatively easy day.  Bottom line: By Gary’s math the club made $28,000 plus or minus using the matching grants from the Gate Foundation and the World health Organization the Rotary Breakfast Club of Downtown San Diego contributed $148,000 dollars to defeat polio world-wide.  Congratulations to Gary Green for his drive and enthusiasm and leadership to make this happen in such a short time. The Club gave a standing ovation to Gary who finally had to wave the crowd off.

Carol Jensen led the club in the pledge.

Choir leader: Jim Mulvaney and the Club Vocalist: Linda Jalving lead the club in a rousing rendition of America the Beautiful (at an octave too high for most tenors).

In attendance were 18 guests of which 5 were from Club 33.

Mike Lewis presented the Responsibility Program report and handed out letters to Santa from 86 children from the Tijuana Dump. The participants each purchase 3 presents requested by the boys and girls who participated and sent letters to Santa listing the 3 presents that they want. If you are participating, the presents must be brought to the Club meeting on the 11th for delivery to Tijuana.
