Instead of our traditional full moon night hike, we went for a new moon night hike.
Some awards:
Brightest flashlight: David Vo
Best accessory: Mel Truelove for Kona the dog

A big welcome to Aaron. And thanks for the wine, Laura. We wish you luck in the Bay Area.
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.
Tips for Hiking with Rotaract:
Show up, and the fun will follow.
Join us at 6:30 p.m. August 4 at Silvergreens in Santa Barbara for our next Rotaract meeting.
Guest Speaker: Natalie Olivas, a personal trainer at SB Training, will share nutrition tips for busy professionals on the go. She’ll share good reminders about how to be healthy and likely teach you a few things you don’t know.
Natalie is certified by the International Sports Studies Association. She’s a Gaucho alumna who majored in biochemistry with a minor in exercise and health sciences.
In addition to our guest speaker, we’ll give updates about the next service projects and social activities. Stay tuned for our next beach cleanup, night hike and game night.
Meet at Oak Park at 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 12, for this month’s FREE Rotaract social: the French Festival.
Look for President Tara Yeto at the corner of Alamar and Junipero at 4 p.m. Bring some cash if you want to sample yummy French foods. There will also be plenty of entertainment, including a poodle parade and a drag revue.
Read what the Independent has to say here. Au revoir!
Help us keep trash out of the ocean and clutter out of our green areas.
When: 10 a.m. – Noon on Saturday, March 7
Where: at the intersection of Phelps and Canon Green in Goleta. From 101 northbound, exit Storke. Left onto Storke. Right onto Hollister. Left at Pacific Oaks. Right onto Phelps.
What: We’ll spread out to clean up part of the Ellwood Bluffs and the coastline.
Why: We don’t like trash in the ocean. And you can learn where the hidden trampoline is while getting service hours for Rotaract.
Notes: We’ll provide gloves and trash bags. If you have any trash-grabbing tools other than your hands, please bring those along. I recommend bringing a water bottle. Snacks will be provided.
Last year, past president and one of the club founders, Liz Werhane, went on a trip through the northwest region on Italy. She was the only person that represented our country and came back with tales of new friends and gelato.

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.
