Steve Brooks got the meeting started leading our Flag Salute, which was followed by Past President Kathleen Blake’s eloquent Invocation. A very appropriate song was chosen in honor of our speaker and we harmonized through “Lean On Me” without the need for the gong. Michael Self was so appreciative of […]
This year we thought we would try something different. Rather than celebrate the Holidays with another party we gathered at the Municipal Golf Course and climbed into the Santa Barbara Trolley to tour the Christmas lights. With a little help from the hot chocolate and other fine beverages we were […]
Another wild meeting got started with Kathleen Blake proudly leading the Flag Salute and Teresa Thornburgh providing a thought provoking invocation. The song Hakuna Matata was very appropriate considering the speaker and we made it through without gonging ourselves. Feeling somewhat inspired, yours truly handed out multiple fines with worthy […]

I want to thank Jim Carberry for stepping in for me this past Friday. I understand he did a splendid job and even shared one of his famous Irish jokes. It must have felt like a throwback meeting with Jim leading us, just like he used to 20 years ago. […]
Thank you to: – Steve Baker for graciously greeting our members and leading us in the Flag Salute. – Todd McGinley for providing an amusing invocation for anybody who has tried to go on a diet. – Davis for not being gonged as we belted out “Stand By Me” in […]
