March 9, 2010 

 

Our Meeting on March 9th featured  Richard Salas, noted underwater photographer and creator of Sea of Light: Underwater Photography of the Channel Islands. In my nearly six years as a member of Montecito Rotary, this photography was probably the MOST STUNNING visual presentation I’ve seen.  Mr. Salas’s book will be available to Montecito Rotarians at a reduced price and he will donate 15% of the sales price of the book back to our Club.  Paul Kremser is coordinating this.   If you would like to purchase a copy (ies) of this stunning visual compendium, copies are $70.70 apiece (which includes sales tax).  Please bring a check to the next meeting payable to ASK Photography and deliver it to Paul Kremser.  Paul will be arranging a return visit by Mr. Salas to the Club, where he will personally sign/inscribe your copy.  We will have a review copy available again at next week’s meeting.

 

Kati Buehler from Westmont College, was inducted as the newest member of Montecito Rotary.  Her sponsor was Lynda Nahra and her Rotary mentor will be Les Esposito.

 

Christopher Carroll’s Memorial Service was held yesterday at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Montecito.  Many of you attended and it was a service that certainly captured Chrispher’s essence as a gentleman, patron of the arts, and bon vivant.  We extend our condolences to all Christopher’s friends and family.

 

Marty Koobatian’s family is hosting a reception at the Koobatian’s home on Saturday, March 20th at 11:30 AM.  The address is 80 Chase Drive.  Chris DeVries  is coordinating RSVP’s for the family at Christine.devries@sbbt.com.   Please put Koobatian Memorial in the subject line and indicate how many will be planning to attend.

 

 

Our speaker next week (3/16/10) will be Lisa Rivas, from Venoco, sharing perspectives in energy issues.

 

 

Golf Classic Update: It’s not too early to line up sponsors and foursomes!!!!  Date is May 6th at Montecito Country Club.

 

We currently have seven three person teams entered in our annual Golf Classic Raffle Competition.  This is optional, but we encourage your participation to spur sales and have a friendly competition.  The Barnard, Nahra, and DeVries team (having sold forty tickets) has vaulted into the lead here, but others will soon be on your heels.

 

Thanks to the Four Seasons/Biltmore we have our Raffle Prize for the 2010 Golf Classic and we  have Raffle Tickets for distribution.

 

The Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner event was a huge success. Thanks to Sheryl Barnard for coordinating and to hosts:  Dick and Sheila Douglas, Hendrika and Harlan Green, Murray & Rosslyn Ray  and Connie Stephens and Bill Lindberg.  We had a blast!

 

The District Governor’s Demotion & Club Awards Event is scheduled for Saturday June 12th at the Fess Parker Doubletree.  Group 8 Clubs  are offering Homehospitality for either Friday, June 11th or Saturday June 12th.  Because of graduations, the cost of lodging is quite high in Santa Barbara.  If you would be willing to open your home to Rotarians attending from District 5240 for a night or two, please let me know by email.  (wh_lindberg@msn.com).
