Past President Rich Aeling announced the East Rotary picnic on May 12
Past President Rich Aeling presented a framed ‘fishing in the Sierras’ to Past President George Beitner… Apparently, the ‘catch’ was from last season, and it took some time for Rich to photoshop the fish into George’s hands… (:

Past President George Beitner and Erin returned recently from an extended trip to ‘It-ly’… George presented President Dave with a “David” likeness on an apron… Naturally, the likeness is authentic including details of David’s lower anatomy… This apron is anatomically correct… George also brought President Dave some coffee and pasta… from World Market…

Program:
Henry Heller presented an informative discussion about balance in our lives. Asking us the question, of “how we spend our time?”, he showed how our lives get complicated as we consider dividing our time between family, social, spiritual, mental, career, health, community and financial pursuits.
Henry commented that as seasons of our lives change, our emphasis in these various areas changes as well… He encouraged us to undertake a periodic check-up of our life balance as we understand our purpose, and why we are where we are in life pursuits…
