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.
Sorry to report, but tonight’s hike is off.
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!
Night hike cancelled!

Who: You, Rotaractors, Your Friends, Your Dog
What: An easy hike
When: 6:15 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 8
Where: Meet at Panda Express at La Cumbre and then we’ll carpool to the trailhead at Lizard’s Mouth.
Why: Lizard’s Mouth is a great spot. We’ll have beautiful views of the city. There are geat boulders to frolic on and nooks to explore.
Bring: A flashlight or headlamp and water. Sensible shoes, layered clothes and a camera are recommended.
In honor of Thursday’s so-nearly-full-you-can’t-tell-it’s-not-full-yet moon, we’ll head out on our next night hike.
When: Thursday, Sept. 3 at 6 p.m.
Where: Meet in front of the Panda Express at La Cumbre. Then we’ll carpool to the Jesusita trailhead.
Who: You, your friends, your well-behaved dogs
Why: We do this every month. Haven’t you been paying attention? And, it’s fun.
Note: This is through an area that burned earlier this year. It will not be lush and green, and depending on trail conditions, we may have to play the evening by ear. If you want to see the burn area, this is a good time. The trail may be closed again soon so planes can drop erosion-control materials there.
In the spirit of trying something new, please RSVP in the comments of this blog entry if you’ll be able to join us.
This will be good. See you there.
Our next night hike is Thursday, August 20. We’ll meet at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Coast Village Road in Montecito at 6:30 p.m. We’ll carpool to the San Ysidro Trailhead from there.
