Those of you who attended the May 5 general meeting may remember a volunteer opportunity proposed by CALM’s director, Cecilia. This will not be an official Rotaract project but those interested in helping should take note of the details below.
The CALM Design House is nearing completion and it is getting very exciting! This year CALM is extremely fortunate to have a beautiful knoll top hacienda style home, Casa Robles, for their Design House. Originally designed by famed architect Chester Carjola, the 4,500 square foot home is situated on 2 acres of picturesque gardens. It is going to be spectacular and lots of fun to tour.
We have scheduled two options for the docent training:
Thursday, May 14th, 1-2:00 pm at CALM or Wednesday, May 20th, 5:30-6:30 pm at CALM.
You only need to attend one training session. At the training you will receive a packet of details and information about touring, the house and CALM.
Please RSVP to this email which session you will be attending. Thank you.Please bring your calendars with you so that you can sign up to work on the days and shifts that fit into your schedule. We are asking that you commitment to working at least three shifts during the month of June.
The Design House will be open June 3rd – June 28th, Wednesday through Sunday 11 am to 4 pm. The house will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Docent shifts will be 10:45 am-1:30 pm or 1:15-4:15 pm. (you will need to allow parking and shuttle time)
If you are unable to attend either of the training sessions please email me and I will make arrangements to get you the docent information packet. Shirley Waxman ~969-4563 or kswaxman@gmail.com.
Many people have asked about helping the Red Cross. I spoke with the CEO of our local Red Cross Chapter this afternoon, and here are three ways you can help:
1) For those who completed the shelter manager training in the fall, please contact the Red Cross to let them know you were trained and are available. They have limited computer access right now and may not have your contact information handy. They can likely put you to work. Call Julie at 698-1611. If she in unavailable, try Louise at 450-5921.
2) There are ongoing volunteer opportunities, but they want to train you first.
The Red Cross asks that you register for the trainings at the Goleta Community Center (5679 Hollister in Old Town). Stop by at any time. This training is free. For more information about training and volunteering, call 729-6885.
3) Donate money at http://www.sbredcross.org/. You should have no problem finding the red Donate Now! buttons.
The Red Cross estimates this fire will cost it more than $200,000, including recovery operations.
3.5) Share this information with your friends.
In case it’s not obvious, these are not good conditions for frolicking in the mountains. And although the full moon may look interesting through the smoke, breathing ash is not good for our health.
We will announce a new, non-full moon hike when it seems appropriate.
We are pleased to announce our new Board of Directors! This group of talented young professionals will lead Rotaract for 2009/10.
President – Tara Yeto
Vice President – Megan Cameron
Treasurer – Jennifer Wang
Secretary – Stephanie Morris
We still have Chair and Liaison opportunities available. Please contact Dana (dana@sbrotaract.com) for more information.
NO HIKE
Our full moon night hike is scheduled for Friday, May 8.
We’ll meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Panda Express in the La Cumbre shopping center.
With the Jesusita fire burning tonight, it’s too soon to say which trail we’ll hike. If things calm down, we may aim for McMenemy or Romero Canyon. But if the mountains are entirely off limits for safety reasons (including air quality), we may consider a blufftop or beach/tidepool walk.
Please join us on Friday because it will be an adventure wherever we end up.
RSVP to liz @ sbrotaract.com
See you soon!
