Dear Rotarians,
THIS WEEK WE MEET AT THE Santa Maria Inn! PROGRAM IS THE DIGNITY BEHAVIORAL GROUP. WINE AND DESSERT FUND RAISER IS MAY 5TH!
We had a great off site meeting this past week. We met at Central Coast Trucking and learned about how vital to every industry trucking truly is. Moving imported products, products from cross docks, and of course all the fresh produce and other products produced right here on the Central Coast! It all has to move from point A to point B and in a timely manner of course! This trucking center is one of their eight truck centers in California and we learned about the challenges that trucking has in the State of California. Challenges like fleets being 50% electric in 2 years and yet no state infrastructure of charging stations even on the drawing board for trucks!! Interstate trucks will have to hand off loads to California certified trucks at the borders! We even got to see an electric big wheeler and tour the cab and sleeping compartment of a long haul cab!
This week we are back at the Santa Maria Inn for our meeting with the Dignity Behavioral Group! Dr. David Ketelaar, Jill Austin, and Ken Dalebout will give a presentation on Mental Wellness. I look forward to hearing and learning about the services available in our community!
WINE AND DESSERT FUND RAISER ON MAY 5TH!!

James Stoddard

Dr. David Ketelaar
We are meeting in the Kent Room at the Historic Santa Maria Inn this week at 12:10 PM.
Special Presentation
Jay Johnson, with Phantom Fireworks, will talk with our club briefly at our March 26 meeting. (He will take about 10 min before our scheduled presenters). Phantom would be our supplier for a fireworks booth and he would go over the details, process, profit margin, etc. I've submitted our application to the City and hope to hear back soon whether we're approved. After hearing Jay's presentation, we can decide as a Club or a Board whether we want to move forward with formalizing his supply agreement.

"Rotary brings together business and professional men differing in social status, religious beliefs, and nationality in order that they be more intelligible to each other and therefore more sympathetic and friendly and helpful."
Sunshine Report
As far as we know, everyone is happy and healthy.
Do you know that in 1975-76 there were several father and son combination members of our club? What is the exact number? You can find the answer by going to the club website, where Susan Rees has posted the history books of the first 75 years of our club, or you can go to the bottom of the Rotator.
Maricopa Update
Last week Homer Higgenbottom and Januvius Winterbottom met at the local coffee shop to discuss the Ritz-Carlton, Maricopa. Homer began, "They finished all the renovations at the Ritz-Carlton, Maricopa. It sure looks impressive from the outside." Januvius replied, "I got a tour of the inside last week. It is even more opulent. They said that they spent over two million dollars just furnishing the lobby." "Wow!" exclaimed Homer, "That is something." Januvius added, "The men's bathroom off of the lobby is bigger than my house. I think I could probably park my pickup truck in one of the stalls." "That's unbelievable," remarked Homer. Januvius said, "They spent all this money, but they still have problems. The other day a homeless man camped out in one of the stalls in the men's room. He refused to leave, so the hotel called the police. When the police asked him to leave the stall he indignantly declined citing "squatter's rights."
