Downtown Rotary BBQ Mixer

The downtown Rotary club is putting on their annual Family BBQ on the 19th and wanted to extend an invitation to you and the other members of Rotaract to attend the event.  The BBQ will provide an opportunity for members of Rotary and Rotaract to interact in a social environment over food, beer/wine, music (http://www.glendessaryjam.com/history.html), and line dancing (Lisa Stecker will be leading some post dinner dancing lessons).  If anyone from the Rotaract club is interested in attending, as well as friends of members, feel free to have them get in touch with Tracy York by email (tracy@nozaresearch.com) or cell at (805) 441-2554.  We are asking that people pre-register before the event so we have a good idea of how much food we will need day of.

Anniversary Party

It’s time to celebrate another year of good friends and good service! We’re turning two and having a party on Tuesday, July 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the home of Scott and Lisa Burns, a couple of local Rotary members.

You should come! Enjoy great food, and drinks while networking and hanging out with friends. Plus it’s the perfect opportunity to bring new people you know who are interested in joining. (It’s a more enticing event for newbies to come to than an outdoor clean up project. Let’s ease them in.)

Please RSVP as soon as possible to info at sbrotaract.com if you’d like to come. Remember it’s free. Dress classy casual, and as your mom would tell you, bring a sweater in case it gets cold at night.

The Burns live at 2319 Garden St in Santa Barbara (map). If you head north (toward the mountains) on Mission from Highway 101, make a left on Garden Street and look for parking. Carpool if possible.

Meet 5 German Rotaractors!

On Monday, June 23,** five members of Rotaract clubs in Germany will be hanging out in Santa Barbara. **NEW DATE

We got to meet them at the Rotaract Pre-Convention at the International Conference in Los Angeles, so we know they’re fun!

The plans are somewhat tentative, but we’ll likely go to a happy hour and dinner downtown. They’ll also be around during part of the day for those who don’t have to work.

If you want to hang out with them, contact Rita — ritanewhouse@hotmail.com — or Liz — sb_rotaract@yahoo.com. Be sure to include your phone number because we may not be able to confirm the plan until the actual day.

Special Delivery

Just a quick reminder.  We’ll be delivering flowers on behalf of the Dream Foundation on Saturday morning. Learn more about the Dream Foundation at http://www.dreamfoundation.org/. We’ll meet between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. at the downtown farmer’s market, where bouquets will be assembled. Then we’ll team up to make deliveries to terminally ill adults. Please RSVP if you plan to attend this event so that the Dream Foundation will be prepared to put all of us to work. *Note: I have no idea specifically what type of flowers we’ll be delivering.
