Sarah announced that her kids foundation, Mini Santas, have found a local family to support.
 
January is Rotary Foundation Month; we’re going to brainstorm how to entice members to support our Foundation - a nice idea is to donate $100.00 to Morro Bay Rotary Foundation that month.
 
Dan received a round of applause for the Lighted Boat Parade as did Jan for receiving the PHF last week.  
 
Dan received and read a letter from Morro Bay Coast Guard thanking us for our support.
 
Tonight is the last night of the Winter Festival so Santa is going back to the North Pole.   After that, we will need to get the decorations out of the Santa House.  Dan will send out an email concerning this.
 
Our 1st Annual Crab Feed will be Saturday, April 7th.....come join us before our December 19th regular meeting to help get this event planned.   This will be a major fundraiser so we will need to sell tickets after the first of the year.  Tickets will be $55.00; with the hopes that each Rotarian in our Club will be able to sell five tickets.    We will also need cookies or cakes to sell and/or auction off that night.  We will have a bar with wine or beer and a 50/50 drawing as well. 
 
Pawsabilities for Veterans is holding a movie day at the Inn at Morro Bay on Thursday December 28th at 11 and 3 pm.   Bring the family, a pillow and a blanket and come enjoy “101 Dalmatians”.
 
Holly Banfield, the Choir Director at MBHS brought the Morro Bay Choir for our annual Christmas Carol program.    We sang along as the choir led us in Jingle Bells....... quite an improvement over last week!!!   We then presented the Choir with a check for $250 to help them in their efforts.   Holly was a recipient of one of our graduating senior scholarships...now she has come back to Morro Bay to work at our high school.  That is our Foundation dollars being put to good use!!
 
The 50/50 drawing was won by:   Jude
 
Next week we need club members to talk about Christmas traditions in their family.    Any volunteers? 
 
Let’s keep Pete in our thoughts and prayers as he goes in for surgery on Friday.   Also remember John Weiss who is doing very well after his surgery.  
 
Meeting adjourned…
Enjoy your week...see you next week to enjoy stories from our own club members.
