Breaking the Cycle of Teen Pregnancy

Openers…

Future President Lou Capuano eloquently called the meeting to order in a timely fashion for vacationing Pres Mike.

Pledge:

Robin Marrs lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Moment:

Harry Rubins reminded all that one's lack of organization does not constitute an emergency for another party. Amen.

Our Greeter:

Brian Fykes introduced our visiting Rotarians.

Guests:

Caroline Fox introduced Charlie Woods of Johnnie Garlic's.

Steve Wright introduced his father-in-law, Donald Chunn.

Announcements: It's all about the Crab Feed

Ginny Pitts is organizing the corporate tables; she can help you.

Tarina Hall said she could use some more wine (for the Crab Feed Silent Auction, of course!).

Arnie Carston said he could use at least five more live auction items.

Dave Wattell reminded us that Crab Feed Raffle Tickets make great stocking stuffer or Christmas presents.

And, last but not least, *Bob Zeni needs the stubs back from the Admission Tickets so he can get them in the database ASAP.

Recognition:

Don Ling was recognized for going to Hawaii recently and somehow he managed to escape a fine. Maybe Future President Lou was going to be lenient with us next year, right?

Wrong! Future President Lou had a list longer than Santa, and started by fining new member Pat Stoll $20...for something.

Jeff Ray got hammered for $15 just for going skiing (like he does every weekend). Could be an expensive year for Jeff next year.

It cost John Withers ten buck for going to Cotati.

Ken Dansie was fined $25 for being English, no, traveling to see his mother. Boy, is Lou tough or what?

Tom Langley changed jobs recently (we're talking radio, here) and that was worth $25.

And Rich Pratt managed to casually mention that he went to Paris (without his wife, mind you) and he got away with only a $25 fine. It's going to be a great year with Future President Lou "I got a list here" Capuano.

Raffle:

Your bulletin reporter was too busy counting lunch money to notice who didn't win the raffle and who won the bottle of wine (fortunately your Bulletin Editor can look at the photographs and make that determination J - Ed)

Harry drew for the marble, but found no cigar in the bag. Brian Fykes was the successful recipient of the wine.

Program:

Our Program Chair Paula Wrenn introduced today's speaker, Patsy Truxaw, the Principal of the Sonoma County Office of Education's Alternative Education Program. Through CAL-SAFE (Teen Parent) Program, The Adera Pregnant Minor Program provides education and support services so that pregnant students can continue their education at a comprehensive or alternative high school.

The School-Age Parenting and Infant Development (SAPID) program provides childcare and related services to assist teen parents in graduating from high school. Ms. Truxaw introduced Susana Segura who recently graduated from the program and told us how much the program has meant to her and the successes she has realized because of the program.
