California Pizza Kitchen calls it Philanthopizza. We call it helping orphans in Rwanda. The Rotaract Club of Santa Barbara wants to help you, too. On November 18, we want to save you the worry of wondering “What will I eat for lunch?” or “What will I eat for dinner?” On November 18, you should print this flyer [MS-Word] and take it with you to California Pizza Kitchen at 719 Paseo Nuevo (on Chapala). In return, CPK will give Rotaract 20% of your check, which we’ll use on our Rwanda project.
Not in the mood for a sit-down meal? The offer also applies to take-out. You can order in advance at (805) 962-4648. Here’s the menu. Just be sure you present the flyer. The deal is good from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
We’ll try to keep our usual meeting short that night so that we can head to CPK together afterward for dinner.
B-I-N-G-O We’re trying our luck once again at the BINGO tables on Thursday, November 13th at the Santa Barbara Elks Lodge (150 North Kellogg Ave.) We’ll meet at the front of the Elks Lodge at 6:30. BINGO starts promptly at 7:0o and goes until around 10:00. “Buy-ins” are $20 and additional game packs are $5. (First-timers get the second game pack for free!) There are also daubers on-sale for $1. Snacks and drinks are also available for purchase.

This weekend we hosted 6 Rotaractors from San Diego and 1 from D.C. Now we have more than 7 new friends (seriously) and a strong urge to go visit San Diego.
Here’s the short version of our weekend:
Friday night: It was late, and it was Goleta, which meant one thing: Freebird’s burritos (and quesoritos) for all.
Saturday: We drove up the coast to the
Arroyo Hondo Preserve to
pull out thistle, improve drainage on a trail and prune along the way. Then we rewarded ourselves with lunch, cookies and
lounging at Goleta Beach. We hit the hot tub and then cleaned up to head downtown. While our
guests had dinner at
Paradise Cafe, some Santa Barbara Rotaractors got ready for the evening’s party. And then, we had an evening of, ahem,
fellowship and lemon meringue pie from the Goleta Lemon Festival.
Inspiration Point
Join us on a hike to Inspiration Point TONIGHT. We’ll meet at the Santa Barbara Mission at 6 p.m. by the fountain. We’ll carpool to the trailhead. Bring a flashlight/headlamp, water, warm clothes, sensible shoes and a snack if you get hungry. Friends and dogs are welcome. This is a moderate hike — a long gradual uphill and a rewarding downhill. Please RSVP to Liz at liz@sbrotaract.com if you plan to join. Include your phone number so we can call you if we don’t see you right at 6.
We’re having a "Taste of Santa Barbara" wine night on Saturday, October 18th at 8:00 p.m. at Rotaractor Liz Werhane’s house. Now’s your chance to sample some local vino, nibble on some tasty snacks and meet some fellow Rotaractors from the San Diego Club. All you have to do is bring a snack/appetizer to share. And, if you’re so inclined, bring something that epitomizes Santa Barbara to reflect the theme of the night. Need suggestions about what to bring or you want to RSVP? Contact Liz at liz@sbrotaract.com no later than Friday, October 17th. Cheers!
