Past President Jeff: Thank You for Leading the Way - On your watch, the club accomplished two best ever fundraisers matched by similar generosity awarding grants. We finished one District Grant and started another - Crisis Center and Backpacks. We led our first International Grant in recent history, partnering with Walnut Creek Sunrise and Rossmoor USA and Santa Catarina (Monterey) Mexico. Our exchange student Lisa Liguori is back home in Brazil.These activities are over and above our ongoingprograms such as Peter Villa Awards, Scholarship Day, Dictionaries, Speech Contest, Camps Royal/Venture, Interact and...whew!...more! There's a lot of energy in our club. Be proud of your year. We all are.
Rotarian of the Year – Pres Elect Bob Gibbs receives the 2006-2007 award for his broad support of many of the above activities in addition to leading our club's support of San Ramon Valley Rotary's One Warm Coat Drive. His leadership of the popular Wheel of Fortune (or not) also [so says PPres Jeff] gave PPres Jeff the opportunity to enjoy lunch. Congratulations, Bob!
Demotion Party– Past Pres Jeff was dispatched with the style and class for which our club is reknowned. Those of you who missed it, missed a great party.

Soccer Jersey Drive - Mustang Soccer League is mandating new uniforms for all teams this year. As a result, 3000 players will have old jerseys that potentially could go on to impoverished children of other nations. Bob Chace proposes that we collect as many Jerseys as possible and find a new home for them in Latin America. Sounds like a great project!
