Today is Peach Festival day! I'm over at the event setting up, so I hope to see you later on. We need volunteer help in several areas, even if you didn't sign up on the website. And the weather forecast is looking fantastic!
I wanted to give a special thank-you to our Club Board, who is working hard to bring together opportunities for fellowship and service. I love the committee updates we're doing at the meetings, as well as welcoming new members and RYLA/exchange students! We'll get to meet our new exchange student, Inga Eho, this week.
Our hearts go out to those impacted by the disastrous fires in Maui, Hawaii. Many Rotarians are directly impacted. There are nine Rotary clubs on Maui and at this point it has been reported that the homes of two Club Presidents have been destroyed.
Paul, and 3 other people, rowed a small boat from Monterey, California to Kauia, HI, completing the the Worlds Toughest Row Pacific Challenge (2800 miles in 36 Days 3 hours and 49 minutes) arriving in early July 2023. Paul will talk about preperation for the row, challenges faced throughout mission, a typical day on a ocean row boat and what he learned rowing two oceans.
