We kicked things off at 7am with the pledge from Alex and words of inspiration from Paul, standing in for Debye.
Alex kicked things off with a report on Cowabunga. “Everyone seemed to have a good time”, which was the consensus. His only complaint was the light tower fiasco with the city. The tower did not work leaving us literally in the dark for half of the festival area.
Ward dropped in to leave the sponsor prize on his way out of town. Therefore, no City report this week

SPEAKER OF THE WEEK
Our Own JIM PADDOCK!
Jim was recently selected to as an alternate and eventual member to select the next Rotary Zone Director.
He broke down the grueling multi day process of the selection. Though he was not able to divulge to much detail on candidates or selections he was able to give us an overview of the procedures.
The Director is selected to a 2 year term and will serve Zone 26 and Zone 27. Each zone consists of 16 districts and covers an area north to Modesto and east encompassing NV, CO, AZ & West TX.
The reps from each district in the selection process meet at the LAX Hilton for 2 days narrowing the field down from 5 candidates
Ultimately the chose Dan Himelspach as the Director. He will assume the post on an Interim December 1st.
Thanks for all the info Jim and what an honor to serve on the committee.
To close things out we have a RAFFLE winner Glenn!!!!!! Thanks to Ward, this week’s sponsor.
4 WAY TEST – Glenn.
