Hello everyone! It’s that time of the month again… TIME FOR A NIGHT HIKE!
This month we’re going to have a nice & easy moonlight stroll along Carpinteria Bluffs on TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2010.
We’ll be meeting at the Starbucks parking lot on Old Coast Road at 7:30 to carpool to the bluffs. Feel free to bring friends, dogs, and BEVERAGES & SNACKS. We’d like to make a bit of a social event of it as our energies won’t be consumed by trekking up mountains, etc. so please bring your favorite beverage and cookies, cheese, crackers as desired– it should be a beautiful night!
Please RSVP to cmgustason@gmail.com or reach me at (661) 332-7741 so we know who to expect. See you there!
Cheyanne Gustason & Jack Azar

Ryan and Stephanie have worked hard to get this year’s Fiesta booth up and running but we need lots of volunteers to make it a success. Please sign up here. And before you ask – you can sign up for multiple shifts!
Taking on Tunnel Trail
On Monday, June 28, 10 of us hiked 2 miles up Tunnel Trail (and 2 miles back down).
The temperature was perfect. The pace of hiking and conversation was brisk.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the hike — especially the brave newcomers like Gary, Nic and Yala.
Check out more photos from the hike here.
Wildflowers on Tunnel Trail 2010
It’s time again to take advantage of living somewhere this stinkin’ beautiful. Let’s go frolic in the mountains!
Here are the details for the next Rotaract night hike:
Who: You, your friends, your friendly dog and us.
When: Monday, June 28 at 6:30 p.m.
Where: Meet at Old Mission Santa Barbara. We’ll carpool to the trailhead from there.
What: We hike! We’ll head up Tunnel Trail. It’s only been open for a little while, and it’s interesting to see the area recovering from the fire. The hills have been carpeted with morning glories and other wildflowers.
Why: It’s fun. It’s healthy. We tell each other fun stories. Jack spots wildlife.
Come welcome the new Night Hike Co-Chairs — Jack and Cheyanne.
Please RSVP to liz@sbrotaract.com with your phone number if you plan on attending so we know who to wait for at the mission. We’ll depart promptly after 6:30, so please arrive on time.
Come join us during our last Rotaract meeting of this Rotary year while we stop to smell the roses! Our second June meeting is tomorrow, June 15th at 6:30pm. We will be meeting in the grassy area by the Mission Rose Garden. Please bring something to sit on (blanket, towel, lawn chair) if you don’t want to sit directly in the grass. You are welcome to bring some food with you if you’d like since it will be dinner time and we aren’t meeting at a place that has food.
Here is a link to check the weather for tomorrow. It will probably be in the mid/low 60s when we meet, so remember to bring a sweater!
