Dear Rotarians,
Well here we are, one day away from our 11th annual Cultural Dinner. We started in Italy and have traveled the world hitting Germany, the South Pacific, Mexico, Spain, Greece, Brazil, Thailand and our own Cowboy Supper in the U.S. Tomorrow evening we will travel to Argentina and enjoy the food, music and dance of this warm and magical country. Argentina is famous for its Tango and you will be entertained at the dinner with some fabulous dancers! Thank you all for your love, support and efforts to make this evening memorable as we honor one of the community's very best, Garrett Smith for his many, many years of service.
Last week was our visit from District Governor Cozette which went very well. Governor Cozette presented certificates to some of our members Howard Pollack, Gail Goldstein, Diane Pollock, Kayla Friedman-Barb and Brady Connell recognizing them for their exceptional Rotary commitment and dedication. It was a great meeting and our club shined! The Board of Directors met with Governor Cozette after our regular meeting and all went very well!
Tomorrow's meeting is a club assembly and the program and focus is membership which is the lifeblood of Rotary. We are so blessed with our new members and the diversity of our club. Brady Connell, our Director of Membership, is working on an enjoyable meeting tomorrow morning to prepare for our "Bring A Friend" to Rotary meeting on Wednesday, November 1, 2017.
And tomorrow is a special Rotary Day for us as we also meet in the PM. for our biggest event of the year!
Playa Venice Sunrise Rotary Club is a very unique, fun and fabulous club and I am honored and lucky to be its leader!
Yours in Fun, Fellowship and Friendship,
President Gwen
"Lead with Passion and Purpose"
