Concert at Wilson Creek

Fellow Rotarians,

Alaina Blair is a young talented singer/song writer that you may remember coming to our club dressed as Dolly Parton and singing 9 to 5 as a kick off to our Literacy Campaign for Dolly Parton Imagination Library.  She and Erick Masek are teaming for a Concert at Wilson Winery.  They are giving $1.00 per ticket to our Rotary Club to benefit the 500 Temecula children that we sponsor. It is a Friday evening concert starting a 7pm. The tickets are $20 each and they include music and food. I have included a link to a video promotion  publicizing the concert…we are the "charity to be announced" mentioned in the video. Alaina was very gracious in helping us out with our Literacy Campaign last year and she asked if we could be their charity for this concert. Please spread the word and come out for an evening of good music, food and of course Wilson Winery wine and Champagne!

Announcements – our April 4^th meeting will be held at the Storm Stadium during the baseball game, not at Wilson Creek. Please contact President Debbie if you have not already signed up. Shane Lesovsky announced that the Day Middle School Interact club is working on a project to send items to deployed military personnel, if you can donate toothbrushes, tooth paste, socks etc. please contact Shane. Allen Orr is heading the Rotary Friendship Exchange which will be hosting some people from Turkey from April 21^st to the 25^th and need two host homes during that time. Please talk to Allen if you can host.

Dale Machen forgot to return the Polio Pig so he gets another week to cram it full of cash, then Tena Caracciolo will take it to her office to see if she can top the donations. John Panique is asking on behalf of Reality Rally if any club members are available to volunteer for the event April 14^th. Our Military Family Support Committee has planned a baseball game this spring and a concert this summer.

February 29th Meeting

Our Leap Day club meeting was completely backwards, many of us were very confused! The back row was really the front row, and nothing was in its normal place! New Gen club president Adam Ruiz opened the meeting by welcoming us to the “Daddy’s Club”.

Drawing

The drawing was not held at the beginning of the meeting – everyone who bought a ticket should hold on to them until next week. Those who didn’t buy tickets were sufficiently humiliated by being brought in front of the club and forced to draw for the fine. Kevin Vernon was the lucky winner of a $29 fine to foundation.

Program

New Gen’er Dane Wunderlich introduced our speaker; his father Gene Wunderlich who gave an update on Housing and Politics in the Temecula Valley.
