President's Message
 
 

 

Fellow Rotarians, 

Our speaker this week is a Rotary Peace Fellow in India who will share about her experiences with the program. We are also planning to meet at about 11:30 for those who can come a bit early to go through the time capsule materials (both old and new) and help us decide what will be going in before we seal it back up. We hope you can join us.

 

We’ve also got several upcoming speaker vacancies, so please reach out to your colleagues, friends, and contacts about presenting a program for our club. You can continue to add your speakers to our calendar at this link: http://tinyurl.com/SMRotaryCalendar

We understand that Ron Nanning is still in Santa Maria Post Acute.  Let's continue to keep him in our thoughts and prayers.
 
Maricopa Update
 
 
Last week Homer Higgenbottom and Januvius Winterbottom met at the local coffee shop to discuss vacations and health issues.  Homer began, "Remember my cousin Fezziwig Foggybottom.  He went on vacation to Washington, D.C. a couple weeks ago.  He had a great time.  He went to the Capitol, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, as well as the Smithsonian.  He couldn't stop talking to us about it."  "Sounds like a wonderful  trip.  I think I'll go there some day,"  replied Januvius.  Homer continued, "When he came back he immediately started having some gastrointestinal problems.  After examining him, his doctor ordered a colonoscopy."  "Did they find cancer or some sort of blockage?" asked Januvius.  Homer stated, "You're not going to believe this.  They didn't find any cancer, but they did find a blockage.  They found a file of documents labeled 'Top Secret Classified."  Januvius said, "I'll bet he feels a lot better now."  Homer quipped, "I think he's glad they didn't send in an F.B.I. SWAT team to go find them."

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.
 
THE FOUR-WAY TEST
of the things we think, say, or do:
 
1.  Is it the truth?
2.  Is it fair to all concerned?
3.  Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4.  Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
 
 
THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
 
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
 
First The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
 
Second High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as on opportunity to serve society;
 
Third The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
 
Fourth The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
 
ROTARIAN CODE OF CONDUCT
 
The following code of conduct has been adopted for the use of Rotarians:
 
As a Rotarian, I will
 
1.  Act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life
2.  Deal fairly with others and treat them and their occupations with respect
3.  Use my professional skills through Rotary to:  mentor young people, help those with special needs, and improve people's quality of life in my community and in the world
4.  Avoid behavior that reflects adversely on Rotary or other Rotarians
5.  Help maintain a  harassment-free environment in Rotary meetings, events, and activities, report any suspected harassment, and help ensure non-retaliation to those individuals that report harassment.
