Pres Carol’s daughter Jocelyn (the one who messaged her during the meeting) had her first day of school in Spain (remember, she’s on a Rotary Student Exchange Program); it went well, she met the Mayor and there are still some language barriers that over time will surely get better!!

Sydney Hunt, after learning that one of her grandmothers had Alzheimer’s and her other had Parkinson’s, founded a non-profit, Students with Heart.  She started it as a club at her high school to have high school students visit senior care facilities, providing those seniors social interaction that they very often, don’t get.  The Club has been very successful, boasting up to 40 members (she goes to that other Pirate school – Santa Ynez).  Sydney is going on to UC Santa Barbara this fall where she has already started another such club at the college level.  There, she has hopes of recruiting college students to form charters at their various colleges.  From there she hopes that the college students will reach out to local high schools to aid the high school students in forming additional clubs.  Her goal is to have younger generations bridging the gap between generations and leave no elder neglected, lonely or disconnected.  For you Facebook fans, please “Like” her Facebook page – Students with Hearts. 

 

We continued with the new process for the 50/50 pot which now sits at $20; Jim Sanders’ number was picked but alas – he was NOT WINNER so the pot will continue to next week.
