To everyone who helped at Goleta Valley Beautiful this morning in the community or at the greenhouse, thank you.
We wish you fast recovery from any sore muscles and fast removal of dirt stains on your clothes.
Next stop: Disneyland!
A friendly reminder that it’s not too late to sign up for a volunteer day in exchange for a day pass to the Happiest Place on Earth – Disneyland! You can pick any event, but a bunch of Rotaractors are planning on working with Goleta Valley Beautiful this Saturday, Jan. 16 at 1PM.
You can sign up at this link. Just search by zipcode: 93117 and it should be the first result. Once you sign up and send a message to Ken Knight, you’ll get back an automated response. Tell Ken what event you want to work at and he’ll confirm then you can confirm with the Disney site.
If you have any questions, just email us at info@sbrotaract.com

Here’s to 2010! The fun starts with our first meeting on Tuesday, January 5, at 6:30 PM at Silvergreens in Santa Barbara.
There will be no meeting on Tuesday, December 15.
Instead, we will celebrate together at our annual holiday party on Friday, December 18.
We don’t plan to share the party details with the worldwide Interweb, but you can find out more by emailing lucille@sbrotaract.com.
The Rotaract Club of Santa Barbara holiday party is home to one of the three best white elephant gift exchanges in town, tasty morsels and lots of fabulous 20-somethings. If you make the party your first Rotaract event, I assure you it won’t be your last one. You’ll be back for more. Just introduce yourself to Lucille via email first. lucille@sbrotaract.com.
It’s time for another night hike!
This will not be a hike with a full moon, so please bring flashlights or headlamps and dress warmly.
We will meet at 6:30 PM in front of the Panda Express in La Cumbre Plaza on Thursday, Dec. 10. From there, we’ll carpool to a trailhead. The hike destination will vary depending on weather conditions. For example, we may go to Cielo Vista trail to enjoy great views of Santa Barbara’s night lights, or we may go enjoy the bluffs and beach of the Douglas Preserve.
You can bring friends and dogs.
Weather: If it’s a little rainy, we’ll still go. If it’s a lot rainy, we won’t. We’ll probably hike for no more than 2 hours.
Please RSVP to liz@sbrotaract.com with your phone number so she’ll know to expect you.
If you do not RSVP but plan to attend, be sure to check the Rotaract Website at 5 PM on Thursday to confirm that the hike is still on. If you RSVP to Liz, she’ll contact you if plans change.
Looking forward to hiking with you!
