Last Chance!!!

Hotel Rates Increase March 27

The unused rooms at the Tenaya Lodge (there is still a few) will go from our contracted rate of $135 to the regular rate of $213 on March 27. Forms to be faxed to the Hotel can be downloaded at www.rotary5220.org, the other form is to be filled out and sent to the address on the form. The District Conference committee and I have two goals for the District Conference, one is to have FUN (as in 17 Club Hospitality Suites, Mexican Fiesta, and Governors Ball) the other is to show our Rotary Pride (Saturday as Rotary Pride Day, Rotary Pride moments from some of our clubs, and Rotary Pride awards at the Governors Ball).

Area 7 Joint Meeting

Three of Area 7’s Club met yesterday in Riverbank for the 4 Way Test Speech Contest for Rotarians. Riverbank President Chuck Goodman, Escalon Sunrise President Ray Caparros, and Salida President Cathy Pierce had great turn out of club members. Area meetings are a great way for Rotarians to network, and get better acquainted with Rotarians from other clubs.
