Montecito Rotary Club Newsletter February 2, 2010
Our Meeting on February 2nd, Ground Hog’s Day” was a sun-splashed event. Suzanne McNeely, Founder/Director of Senior Planning Services, shared information about the 78 million Baby Boomers working their way “through the python.” Many boomers are turning to entrepreneurship in their quest for meaning and career satisfaction. We are fortunate, as Rotarians, to have the benefit of Rotary in our individual and collective quest for those qualities. Suzanne also talked about the challenges of caregiving. Many members of our Club have found themselves in that role, either locally or long-distance. It certainly is true that we are all temporarily “able-bodied” if we live long enough. Jim Bechtel, SB International Film Festival Board member noted the highlights of the Film Festival which begins this week. Our very own JT Turner, is Producer of the documentary film, “Crazy Art ” which will be shown February 10th at the Lobero and a sneak peek on Monday, February 8th at Victoria Hall. Our speaker next week (2/9) will be Peter Haslund, who will provide us with an overview of China, certainly a timely topic on many fronts. Thanks to all who brought in blankets to share. We will be receiving blankets again next week as well. We have received an application from Kati Buehler, at Westmont College in the Advancement Office, for membership in our Club. Kati has visited our Club on several occasions. This is the formal publication of her request for membership. Please direct any comments to Lynda Nahra or myself, before February 14th.
