 STAFF RECOGNITION
Thanks to the Staff at the Santa Maria Inn for their service to our Club!
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS

Message from Club Service Projects Chair Kathy Simas:
Tis the season! Our Club generously donated funds again for turkeys and hams to be distributed at Thanksgiving and Christmas. With Thanksgiving behind us, we are now focused on the Christmas distribution.
 
The hams and turkeys will be distributed at St. Peter's Episcopal Church on Thursday,  December 22 from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m,, with setup and cleanup time before and after. Yes, this is just following the Club's Christmas Breakfast at the Country Club!
 
Peter could use some great Rotarian support to help load, unload and hand out food that morning.
 
If you have the time to help, please contact Peter at kang.h.peter@gmail.com.
 
The church address is 402 S. Lincoln Street.

PROGRAM
This mornings informative program was provided by Club member Father Peter Kang.  He provided a historical perspective of how the Calendar was developed and how it relates to Christmas.  He started with the Gregorian Calendar but also noted that the Jewish Calendar goes back 5,783 years ago?  Lets of good stuff presented but the Bull-A-Ton editor could not write that fast!  Well done Father Kang!
