<br>
A long time member of our club and the motivation behind the start of our Interact Club of Mendocino High School, Joe Sparks and his wife Ruth Sparks, also a involved member of our Community have moved into a assisted living facility in Rocklin CA. This is much closer to Joe’s daughter Ginger as well as the rest of the family. Joe and Ruth have been my next door neighbors since my move to Mendocino / Fort Bragg in 2003. He was my sponsor to our Rotary Club. They are already missed. <br>
<br>
I do not have the facility contact information at this time, but I will secure and post asap. <br>
<br>
<br>
Dean Watson<br>
