HIGH GEAR: Monday, December 9, 2013

Announcements: Our Holiday Party is December 16 at the Broadway Grill. Get your reservation in to Cheryl Fama yesterday.

The Burlingame Holiday Parade was great success even in the rain. There was singing, there was dancing, there was general merriment.

As we mentioned last week, Prez John has appointed a Special Projects Committee to explore possible uses for 1 to 4 projects in the total amount of up to $100,000 (funded from currently available but unallocated Service Funds). The Committee is soliciting suggestions from all Rotarians. Projects should generally fit the following guidelines:

"...make a significant impact within the greater Burlingame community by providing opportunities to make positive and sustainable changes in people's lives, with a bias toward youth. It would be desirable that there be meaningful engagement of club members and/or recognition of the Club due to the project/program selected."

Program and Speaker: Grant Fondo gave us an interesting albeit depressing review of criminal justice system and the impact of methamphetamine throughout our society.
