Playa Venice Rotarians & Friends,
At the meeting tomorrow, we’ll hear from new member Rick Billups, who is principal of St. Bernard High School. Rick will tell us a little about himself, plus inform us about all the great things going on at St. Bernard, one of our community’s educational shining stars.
Last week we got to witness our talented club winners for Pageant of the Arts. Each of our teens was awarded $150 at the meeting, and will now compete for a $1,000 scholarship at the district competition this Saturday. Come cheer them on at LMU’s Burns Fine Arts Center at noon. Details at www.rotary5280.org. Round of applause to Vocational Chair Lindsay Thomas, District Vocational SAG Gwen Vuchsas, and district Pageant of the Arts Chair Kathrine Russell! Good luck to our students Stellan, Kathy, Miles, and the St. Bernard dance team!
Okay, how did I not lead with BINGOFEST? I have no excuse. Our tenth anniversary was a stellar sell-out success! Plenty of rowdy tables and green mimes to go around! Thank you to EVERYONE who volunteered, donated, and organized. We don’t have final numbers in yet, but it’s looking great. Congrats to Delia Chi and President-elect Jerry Jen who won The Pot of Gold Experience Raffle – you deserve it! Thank yous listed below...
Reminder to pick up a copy of the special Playa Venice edition of The Hometown News. Thank you member/publisher Stephanie Davis!!!
Rock, Roll & Run is this Saturday morning at LMU. For those of you who volunteered, make sure you show up at your assigned time and be ready to serve up
hundreds of pancakes, and
hundreds and hundreds of sausages! Everyone is welcome to spontaneously stop by to help, or even run in the event (you can sign up that morning). Details:
