1 THE ROTARY CLUB OF SANTA MARIA THE ROTATOR MAY 17, 2011 It is hard to believe my year is coming to an end. My goal for the club was to do good while having fun, we certainly did good, I will let the members decide about the fun part. It was not always easy but what worthwhile effort is? Laura and Frank are gearing up to take over, please give them the same support I have received from all of you. Remember the off-site meeting at Skyline Flowers this week (5/17)! Also 5/31 is a club assembly (and my last meeting!), and June 7th is the Step- Down dinner, please RSVP, I would like to see all of you there. The remaining June meetings will be run by a host of past presidents, this is always a fun time of the year, let s keep the attendance up! 6/14: Camille Edie 6/21: Ron Nanning 6/28: Bobby Acquistapace YIRS, Bob Bob Frias President Craft Talk Last Meeting s Notes Visiting Rotarians 1 Guests 6 REMINDER FROM THE ROTARY CLUB OF SANTA MARIA!
