Twilight Torch: Week of May 22 (May 22, 2019)

Interact club members and some of our club members joint forces with other local Rotary Clubs at the food packaging service project to help end hunger.

May 15: Beth Pandol - Water Association of Kern Co

President-Elect Nancy ran another meeting (way to go, Nancy!) as President Amy headed to Monterey to see their son, Chris graduate from CSUMB.

Beth Pandol from the Water Association was the speaker and shared interesting facts including the California farmers grow more than half of the country's fruit, nuts, and vegetables... on only 3% of U.S. farmland! Who knew?!?

Former President Jimmy Carter was our Famous Rotarian and PP Carol was the Member Spotlight.

We also had a special visitor, Principal Xochtil Prieto from Mt. Vernon Elementary stop by with some lovely thank you cards from the students. We will pass them around for all to see at the May 22 Twilight Meeting.

May 8: Twilight's 10th Anniversary + Charter Night

What a wonderful time Twilighters (and special guests) had celebrating our 10th Anniversary + Charter Night. We had great food, fellowship, and fun!

Cecil provided a lovely invocation, B-RAD shared the history of Twilight Rotary (to be posted on our website shortly!), Jim provided background on Paul Harris and PHF, then DG Sandi and Li awarded a special PHF to Tanveer Dhaliwal, Interactor-extraordinaire!

Thank you to Pam Zulfa for coordinating Luigi's, Jim & Donna Bell for surprising everyone with new Rotary badges, Jeremy & Peter Swanson for the great "happy hour" entertainment on the patio, and DG Sandi for joining us in celebration (as well as awarding Tanveer with a Paul Harris Fellow)!

May 1: Gary Fachin - Contract Law

Twilight was pleased to have past Charter Member (and Past President), Gary Fachin present insights into Contract Law. We also learned that Herbert Hoover was a Famous Rotarian and our favorite Treasurer, Denise Thomas was the Member Spotlight.

Be sure to be selling your "Luck Be A Lady Tonight" tickets... the event is Saturday, June 8 at the Bakersfield Museum of Art.
