Fellow Rotarians when you get your Rotary Magazines and you are done reading them please bring them to the club so we can distribute them at local business so people are aware of what we do in Rotary.

Membership Minute

Mary Salcido is the Membership Director at Arcadia Rotary. Mary would like to Thank everyone that is pushing for membership. Taste of Arcadia was a great evening a lot of people attended. Mary pulled a lot of people aside and felt it was a great opportunity to talk and touch a lot of people and share about Rotary Club and all the fun we have and all the things that we do and the great relationships that are built. She has received a couple of calls back from some potentials new members. Dick Martinez wants to go back to the Bean and Stake Dinner to grow in membership and we would like everyone to call someone to attend, more information about the Bean and Stake Dinner will come in the coming weeks. Mary wants to say Thank you to everyone for being helpful and for supporting her, because it’s for of us, we all do it together. Thank you and Good Luck!

Taste of Arcadia

Tom Miles was in charge of the Taste of Arcadia as a community Service. Tom was not in attendance. Rosie Mares reported on his behalf. Rosie mentioned that there were quiet a group of Rotarians wondering around at Taste of Arcadia and bumping into each other all evening. She would like to thank all the Rotarians that stop by the Rotary booth and volunteered from 30 minutes to 1 hour. She sends special thanks to Dirk and Sharon Hudson, Dick Martinez, Mike Hoey, Phillips Corliss, Don Milefchik, Gil Stromsoe, Imy Dulake , Mimi Hennessy, and Mary Salcedo who was there too. Working these events is a great opportunity to get to know each other in a personal basis. Rosie would like to encourage the Red badges take part and sign up at these events.

Thank everyone that came to Taste of Arcadia – Especially to Bruce McCallum who promoted the events and sold over 50 tickets. He did a lot of work. Arcadia Rotary will get $5 dollars of each ticket sold; $250 was raised from all sales.
