Thanks to all of you who attended the May meeting at Rusty’s. We have a lot of things going on this month and hopefully this post will give you the pertinent details. This is mostly a rehash of what you received on the agenda but with the gaps filled in.
Note added 05/12/08 09:54AM – Please note that details of the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon have been changed. Additional volunteers are not needed at this time. Changes reflected below.
Catalyst – The guest speaker will be Dr. Kendra Kenyon who will be speaking about the book Good To Great. Pre-registration online is $10, or $15 at the door. The event is on May 13 at 6:45 PM at Stateside restaurant.
Children’s Festival – This year’s festival will be held at Alameda Park on May 17 from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Currently, there are only a few spots left for the 1 – 4 PM shift so please email Jennifer Haake to RSVP.
Full Moon Hike – May 19, meet at the SB Mission at 6:45 PM. Moderate strenuous walk.
Host Program – The Downtown Organization is bringing back the Host Program to our downtown. There will be five groups of two assigned to various locations along State Stretty between Cabrillo and Sola. The daily commitment time is 11 AM to 4 PM which includes a one hour training session at the beginning of the block. Volunteers will receive free lunch and a host program hat/visor. Rotaract will pick a day (TBA) to work together.
Children’s Miracle Network Telethon – You may have seen people working the phones in the background, on TV and now here’s your chance to be one of them! Rotaract will have a shift on Sunday, June 1 from 9:00 – 11:00 am, and will not require outgoing calls. If you haven’t already signed up at the meeting or just want more information, please contact Dana.
