And there is so much else to say about how our little club rocked the 4th of July in Mendocino- Harold and Annie being Grand Marshalls (pride for our Rotarians). John And Betty Cottle took the overall prize with VW hippie bus "Alice" and theme title <i>Long Strange Trip </i>the judges loved, and we sure had fun rocking down the streets of Mendocino passing out daisies and peace necklaces to the crowd. Awesome spirit! And of course last Fridays Debunking at the Ravens was excellent. I loved the curry and the specialty cocktails, and especially liked Jodie's roast of our immediate past President Gary!! </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">See you soon~</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Donna</div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Donna Schuler</div><div>Strategic Management Consulting</div><div>President, Mendocino Rotary Club</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
