Maricopa Update

Investigative reporter and part time dog walker Scoop De Poop reported that the U.C. Maricopa Medical Center and the CDC have issued new warnings to middle and high school students on the effects of "Lame Disease." They have asked that all middle and high school students wear masks and maintain social distancing from their parents this summer to avoid "Lame Disease." For boys researchers say that this disease starts innocently enough with the rolling of eyes when the student hears a "Dad" joke. As this insidious disease progresses the victims are begging their fathers for "Dad" jokes. Other symptoms include wandering aimlessly around the garage rearranging tools. In it's later stages the victims begin hiking their trousers up to just below the rib cage. In girls this disease starts with the rolling of the eyes and saying, "You're so lame." It quickly progresses with the victim saying, "You're ruining my life. I hate you." Soon the teenager says, "Mom, some times you're OK." At the final stages the victim has been known to say, "Mom, I want to be like you." The CDC has not issued mandatory mask guidance while in the home with parents, but if the students do not comply mandates will be issued. In a related story Pfizer has asked for emergency approval of a "Lame Disease" vaccine. This vaccine will be given to all middle and high school students annually without notification of their parents.

The Rotary Club of Santa Maria Elevator Speech

We are a leadership organization comprised of local business, civic, and professional leaders.

We are a nonpolitical nonsectarian service club.

We meet regularly to get to know each other, form friendships, and get things done in our community.

In 2020 we had a virtual fundraiser and raised over $53,000 which we gave to five local charities:

Orcutt Trails

CASA

Casa of Hope

ECHO/Band of Brothers

YMCA

We support the Interact Club at St. Joseph's High School and we donate scholarships to Allan Hancock College.

We clean up Buena Vista Park and with three other Rotary clubs we coordinate the Rotary Christmas Parade.

Come and learn more about our club's humanitarian service and high ethical standards and help us build good will in our community.
