Program:
Our program was a presentation and discussion with members of the Bonsall Rotary Club seeking a partnership with Escondido Sunrise for their “Wine, Brews and Blues Festival that they present each year in June. The event is becoming to big for the small club; we have been charity participants in the past, and they would like us to share 50/50 in the proceeds.
Past President, Roland Grabel and his wife Kelly presented their request and spoke about the event and the organization required…
