April 6 Meeting at Silvergreens Downtown

The Rotaract Club of Santa Barbara will hold its first April meeting on Tuesday, April 6, at 6:30 PM at Silvergreens restaurant on Chapala Street in downtown Santa Barbara. You can find us in the back room.

April is going to be a fun month. We have a 4-city creek cleanup on April 24, a film screening on April 22 and much more.

Also, it’s time to think about what role you can play in Rotaract from July 1, 2010 to July 1, 2011. Elections officers and chair appointments will happen soon!

Hike McMenemy Trail on Tuesday

It’s the best time of year to hike!

Please join Rotaract on Tuesday night for our next full moon night hike.

We’ll meet at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Montecito at 6:30 PM on March 30 and then carpool to the trailhead. We’re hiking McMenemy Trail, which will give us gorgeous views of the city and ocean at sunset and then allow us to peek at the moon after dark. All skill levels welcome.

Night Hike Tips:
– bring a flashlight or headlamp
– wear sensible shoes with decent traction
– bring some water
– well-behaved dogs and friends are welcome (although people with dogs may need to drive to the trailhead with the dog)

Please RSVP to liz@sbrotaract.com if you want us to be on the lookout for you at the meeting spot before we go to the trailhead. Provide your phone number.

New to Rotaract? No worries. Come join us.

Friday Night Social: Bowling and Beyond!

Welcome the Rotaract Club of San Luis Obispo to the Family

You may not recognize all the faces in the photo above. That’s because some of them are members of the Rotaract Club of San Luis Obispo, our neighbors to the north.

They’ve been doing great stuff for years under the leadership of Founding President Dominic Tartaglia. Now, the club celebrates its official charter.

Up for a mini road trip? We’re invtied to attend the Charter Celebration on March 13 at 6 p.m. at the Tartaglia Ranch* in San Luis Obispo. Please RSVP to Holly Dragovich at hdragovich@gmail.com by March 6 to ensure that they have enough steak, salad, garlic bread, ranch beans and cake for everyone. This event is BYOB — bring your own beverage. Adults may bring adult beverages.

* Please ask Holly for the ranch address or Tara, Liz or David. Since this is a private home, we are not posting the address on the blog.
