First we need someplace for these Aussies to sleep for three nights, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We will need volunteers to drive them around on Sunday to do some sightseeing. On Sunday evening we will have a barbecue with them. Then on Monday we need volunteers to drive them around on their vocational visits. Monday evening we will be attending the Santa Maria South Rotary meeting and perhaps enjoying some Monday night football. They leave on Tuesday morning for Tehachapi. This is a great opportunity to meet someone from a foreign country who speaks almost the same language that you speak.

ROTARY RAMBLINGS BY PAST PRESIDENT, SCOTT W. DUNN September 19, 2010 Dear Rotarians: I am sorry to have to share my original Rotary photograph with you, but I am doing so to make a point.

4 ROTARY RAMBLINGS BY PAST PRESIDENT, SCOTT W. DUNN September 19, 2010 Dear Rotarians: I am sorry to have to share my original Rotary photograph with you, but I am doing so to make a point. How many of us over the years have had our portrait taken by Jan Demeter? Probably as many or more that have been induced (Ken Nelson s phrase) inducted by Ron Nanning. How many of us have had photographs taken at major events, (Club Anniversaries, Joint meetings, Step Downs, etc) by Jan Demeter? How many times has Jan given you a copy of those photographs to remember those special events? My guess, most if not all of you. Bottom line: Jan has made a difference for me in The Rotary Club of Santa Maria and I haven t done a good enough job to tell him how much I appreciate him chronicling the Club s events. It is one of those situations where we take people for granted; and that is wrong. I suggest that the next time that you see Jan that you please take the time to thank him for being our Club s photographer for all these years. Yours In Rotary Service 4
