Announcements:  Mike Horwitz slowly walked up to the microphone and brought up the Golf and BBQ Committee with him.   We/They did great!  Thank you to all who helped (and it was lots of folks) make this event a screaming success.   168 dinners were served and there was a lively live and silent auction.  111 golfers joined us.   Stan Moore compared a tooth ache favorably to Mike Horwitz and then told us that we raised $40,000 which is a big increase from last year.   Stan then made a very generous additional donation to the great Rotary cause.  Thank you Stan, Mike, et al. Get next year’s event on your calendar:  October 5, 2015, shotgun start at noon, Peninsula Golf and Country Club.
 
John Delaney asked for volunteers to help out CALL Primrose the Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  Contact John (like President Mary did) to help out this very worthy organization.
 
Program and Speaker:   Bob Doerr introduced Dr. Greg Cailliet who helped us unravel the secret lives of sharks and rays.   Greg is the Director of Moss Landing Marine Laboratories and the Pacific Shark Research Center.  There are over 500 types of sharks.   Rays are sharks that have been flattened.  There are over 600 of these bad boys.    Sharks travel great distances and swim in the deeper cool water leaving the odds of an attack in Hawaii as slim so that’s a relief.  
 
Visiting Rotarians/Guest of Club:   We had guests from a bunch of places at a lot of tables (thanks to Cheryl Fama for helping spot our guests and visitors).
