What a weekend. We hope this message finds you all safe and that you made it through the storm without any damage. As we have been fending off the wind, rain, slush, and, in some cases, snow, Robin reminded me that DGE Dennis, PE Louise, and PresKaren were down in warm San Jose. I am fairly sure there was no threat of snow. However, they were not basking in the sun. They were hard at work and play at PETS (President-Elect Training Seminar). Congratulations to them! We are looking forward to an update on their adventures and experiences. If you have never been to PETS and want to take part in this incredible weekend of Rotarians from the Far West gathering together, consider becoming our next President-Elect.
At this week’s Social we are looking forward to hearing from one of our newest members, Steven Holt, when he presents his Craft talk. Don't miss the opportunity to hear from fellow Club members about their journey in both career and life. I am sure if you ask members who have heard one or more of the Craft talks since we started featuring them at our Socials, they will tell you how fun and impactful they have been. We gather this Thursday at Round Table at 5:30 p.m. for food and fellowship. If we haven’t seen you at a Social lately, we hope to see you at one soon.
