We have a great program lined up for our meeting on August 3 so you won't want to miss it, but it is Zoom-only.  Be sure to look out for the Zoom link in the emailed meeting announcement.

(By the way, if you ever do not get the weekly emailed meeting announcement, contact either the club secretary (Jan Beller) or the club webmaster (Susan Gustin) to troubleshoot the email problem.)

We are pleased to announce that our first Rotary foreign exchange student in several years, Mario Garcia Bañon from Petrer, Spain will be arriving Friday, August 4!  

Mario will be attending Ponderosa High School as a senior and living with the Scott Dishong family as his first host family.  He is fluent in English after nine years of study and fair in French which he has only studied for three years.  He is 16 years old, prefers science and math over other subjects, loves to play "football," listen to music and be with family and friends or playing video games.  

Mario is required to attend one Rotary meeting per month and participate in Rotary events as his schedule permits so we will all have the opportunity to meet and talk with him. 

¡Bienvenido, Mario!
