Todd Montgomery did the invocation and asked that we keep Rachel Mason’s brother and Dave Frank’s father in our thoughts and prayers. John Panique performed the pledge and Walt Allen performed the most unique 4-way test that many of us have ever seen. Thanks to his 4 lovely assistants that helped him spell out the main letter of each test. A great song was performed by Todd Montgomery and Bernie Bramante, Mickey Mouse!
Special guests were in attendance, District Governor and First Lady Steve and Vicki Wallace.
As promised our meeting started promptly at 12:10, even though there were lots of people still in the buffet line we got it done! Terry Whitington successfully completed the four way test challenge and received his coin.

For the New Year President Debbie Herrera has instituted a new fine process for tables with no guest; those sitting at tables in the front row will be fined $1 per person, the middle row $2 per person and the back row $3 per person. I guess we all get the hint that she’d like more people to sit up front! Fines for not wearing your Rotary lapel pin will resume next week and she will show no mercy!
Happy New Year to our great club and those who forgot to wear their Rotary pin slapped with a $10 fine: Greg Bennett, Dan Venne, Bruce Cripe, Jeff Marrs; please be sure to pay Susie and thank Debbie for not charging $27!
Julie Ngo took the 4-Way test challenge and received her coin. Don Tucker got the privilege of doing a 15 second commercial for his business (Hearing Aid Systems in Temecula) complete with comments that shouldn’t be repeated in writing.

Rotary has a long history of supporting our military. The Rotary Club of Temecula has picked up on that tradition and created The Military Family Support Project. Our project is simple in its very own nature. Listen to the issues facing our local Military Personnel, and their families, and apply the necessary resources that are needed to resolve the issue.

Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self is channeled through five Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of Rotary.
New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities such as RYLA, Rotaract and Interact club service projects, and creating international understanding with Rotary Youth Exchange.
Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.
Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.
International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to PolioPlus to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.
