Notes and Errata . . .Don't you just love our website with good music and all?  Kudos to Sandi our resident tech and music lover. Looks like it is going to be a long winter for West Coast Football teams. . . Oh well, Cal is ahead of USC.  Since the Yanquis are not around to "hate on"  maybe we can save our vitriol for the BCS and their machinations.  Go Warriors!

We can console ourselves at our holiday party on November 10 and the Fun Train on January 14 and 15. 

Viva Rotary!  REMEMBER TO RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS.
