What have you done to be of service lately??

2012 has been a great year for Morro Bay Rotary!!  Round-a-Bout Clean-ups...  PRLS...  Socials...  Golf Tournament... Evening with Heart...  March Madness...  and soon to be the Fish Fry...  Morro Bay Car Show...   4th of July...   Harbor Fest...   MBHS Scholarships...   etc...  etc...  etc...  Hope you are all able to do what you can for the cause!!!  Such a wonderful way to keep connected with your City, with your Club and with those we serve!!  

2012 has brought WONDERFUL SPEAKERS!!!   We've learned a lot about our members through craft talks...  Matt Franklin, Meredith and John Fennacy, Rick Grantham, Mike Shaffron - what lives we've all led...  It is always gratifying to hear the roads we've all taken - the places we've all lived - the people we've met along the way - and most importantly, the lives we've changed!!!!

We met Woody and his wife who work with PROJECT LIFESAVER, a volunteer search and rescue program aimed at helping those with dementia/alzheimers by giving those in the program transmitters should they go missing.  They have helped over 385 clients over the years and boast a 100% success rate...

San Luis Ambulance educated us in the increasing technology of being in the Emergency Medical Service profession.  New monitors, high tech computer equipment so that interfacing with the hospitals can be done quickly, auto-pulse which aides in the performance of CPR...   all more efficient which means we are in great hands - should we need the help!!

The Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce - which has always been in great hands under the leadership of our very own Craig Schmidt - is doing the best to BUILD A BETTER MORRO BAY!!!  Their hope is to promote community, create a strong local economy, provide a network of opportunities and be an advocate for business!! 

Shannon McQuat is the Marketing & Outreach Coordinator for TRANSITIONS, a mental health advocate organizaton who provide support services for those living with mental health issues and their families thru the SLO Hotline, SLO the STIGMA, Housing programs, Employment programs, Growing Grounds Farm, Family Services and much, much more...

Needless to say there's always lots to learn...  lots to do...  and many ways to help!!!  That's it for now - talk soon...          jamie
