Matthew Guillory Speaks on Facebook

Matt Guillory - President at Mission Valley Sunset Rotary Club and Vice President at Comerica Bank - came in to yesterday's meeting and taught us more than we ever realized we wanted to know about using Facebook to grow our club, our businesses, and our personal lives.
Not surprisingly, a full third of the club doesn't use Facebook due to privacy concerns, lack of time, lack of interest, or fear that it'll become a huge time sucker (okay - that lasts about two weeks until the novelty wears off. Then it becomes a useful tool, right?)

The facts and figures this guy came in with were truly astounding. And though there was a small technical glitch (which nobody noticed, because they were all on their blackberries playing Farmville), he carried everything off with aplomb!

Thanks, Matt, for broadening our worlds. We appreciated your taking the time to join us and to keep it all very interesting. Maybe one of us can return the favor sometime.

Steve Redd Does Good...Again!

Congratulations to Steve Redd for getting his second Paul Harris award. The Paul Harris award is given when $1,000 is contributed to the Rotary Foundation, either by the individual being honored or in their name. The money is used for helping to defeat polio, develop clean water projects, electrifying Africa, helping those who have never walked to acquire wheelchairs, and a host of other worthwhile programs for which Rotary International is known.

Well done, Steve!

Man of the hour - Carl Kruse

Past president and future district 5340 governor Carl Kruse (right) is awarded yet another Paul Harris award.

I've heard of generous, but c'mon, Carl - you're putting the rest of us to shame!

NICELY DONE!

Our board of directors, hard at work
