Today is National Homemade Cookies Day.  A wonderful way to Create Hope in the World is to bake some homemade cookies, package them up and share them with neighbors, co-workers, and friends!  This gesture will make anyone feel better.  My favorite is chocolate chip with macadamia nuts.  Have a home baked cookie and a great Sunday!
 
 
Join us on Friday, November 10 for the Rotary Foundation Gala - Disco Inferno!  Come in your best disco attire; lets celebrate; lets party!  There will be a live show band to dance to and a no host cocktail bar from 5:30 to 7:00PM.  Dinner and dancing will begin at 7:00PM and run until 10:30PM.

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. To advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.
 
Celebrate The Rotary Foundation & Create Hope in the World!  See you there.
 
Our District Foundation Seminar will be held November 4.  Come for a morning of inspiration and fellowship as we share the great works that our clubs, district and the Rotary Foundation do in our community and the world. 
 
This is a fantastic event for newer Rotarians to attend to learn and be inspired through the work we do and long-time Rotarians to be reinvigorated and reminded and of the “why” behind all we do.  A continental breakfast will be provided at 8:30 a.m. with presentations beginning at 9 a.m.

This is also an opportunity to experience the beautiful newly completed Sharp Prebys Innovation & Education Center, which is a new community resource offered at significant discounts to non-profit organizations making a difference in our community.  Thank you Sharp!    Registration is now open. $20 per person.
