I enjoyed our first meeting, hope you did also. I thought that our speaker was interesting. She seemed to know quite a few of our members. The rain we’ve had this last month has helped to refill our reservoirs, but has dampened the play of our golfers and bocce group. Let’s hope for an early spring.
At the last Board Meeting, the Board came up with few new activity ideas.
Thanks,

Our February speaker is Rose Padilla Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of the Davis Street Community Center in San Leandro. She will be speaking to us about her work with the Faces of Hope project in Guatemala.
She has served at the helm of the Davis Street since 1991. The Center provides child care services to over 1200 children every day; annually, more than 6000 individuals receive food and clothing services; and each year its comprehensive primary care clinic serves thousands of patients with medical, dental, behavioral health and nutrition services.
In addition to her work at Davis Street, Rose has served as President of the San Leandro Chamber of Commerce; Rose was President of the San Leandro Rotary Club in 2005-06, and is the current Administrator of the RotaCare Free Medical Clinic. It is through Rotary that she began her work with the Faces of Hope project in Guatemala that provides cleft lip and palate surgery and health care to isolated villages in that country.
Rose received The Rotary International prestigious “Service Above Self” award, given only to 150 individuals worldwide.
She was recently recognized by the United Nations with the Global Citizen Award for her work to alleviate poverty, inequalities and disparities in low-income communities around the world.

The rain we’ve had this last month has helped to refill our reservoirs, but has dampened the play of our golfers and bocce group. Let’s hope for an early spring.
At the last Board Meeting, the Board came up with few new activity ideas.
- We have an active bridge group. I know there must be a few members who would either like to join in, but need to learn the game or brush up on their skills. Chuck Brown, who is the chair for the bridge group would like to start a beginners bridge group. They would meet at a members home, where a couple of existing players would tutor until the new players felt they were ready to join the existing group. This would be open to all members & their spouses. Anyone interested can call either Chuck Brown or myself.
- For golfers and non-golfers, we will try to set up a 9 hole “Hit & Giggle” tournament, where members and their spouses play as a team. It’s an alternate shot format and being a golfer is not required. The idea is to just have fun. Maybe drinks afterwards. We will set it up after the weather changes.

We’ve been busy again this month, dancing at Blackhawk Country Club, Rossmoor Community Center, Pleasanton Senior Center, Pleasant Hill Senior Center for afternoon Tea Dances. If this is not enough you can always join us at the Marriott Hotel in Walnut Creek on Friday or Saturday nights. We were going to go to Round Hill Country Club but they are currently remodeling their ballroom. Bigger dance floor and various upgrades to the room, should be great when completed.
