Invocation:  Bob Doerr read a heartwarming message from the HG’s favorite author:  Unknown.

Perpetual Visitor Pete Wanger donated $500 to OUR Club.  Thanks, Pete!
 
Some people were born in September.   Big whoop.

Mike Harvey’s $101 donation only cost Prez Mary a bit of her dignity.    Mike’s question:  What’s the difference between a puppy and Rotary President?  Answer:  A puppy will eventually grow up and stop whining.
 
Fore!  We need more players for our annual golf tournament and Stan Moore wants you out there.   It is a great afternoon followed by a terrific barbecue and our charitable good works benefit.    Tournament/BBQ is October 20 so get some friends together and get to Peninsula Golf and Country Club.   We have had a very good response from event and hole sponsors but more space is available so reach out to Stan and/or Bob Doerr.
Mike Heffernan introduced one of our scholarship winners, Abigail Lozowski.   Abigail is pursuing a degree in nursing at Cal State East Bay.   She is also studying about the business world to better prepare herself for a professional life in healthcare.   You are a very impressive young person, Abigail, and thank you for giving us hope for the future.    Abigail’s mom Eugenia also joined us.  Nice job, Eugenia, for whatever part of Abigail that is attributable to nurture.

Newscast Schedule:  Jennifer Pence will be delivering our monthly Newscast on September 29.    Cheryl Fama will deliver our October Newscast on the 27th. Dennis Zell will amuse us in November.

The Burlingame Spirit Run took place a few weeks back and our Club was well represented.   Money and a good time were raised.               
 
Sunshine Report:  Jim Shypertt reports that we are all in good shape.  Nicole Armstrong is “gooder” than the rest of us as she is in Hawaii.
 
Program and Speaker:  Mike Hurley of the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) joined us.  Mike is still trying to overcome his “education” at a private school in So-Cal that will not be named (hint:  the school’s band only knows one song).  BAWSCA’s mission is to reliably supply high quality water at a fair price.   Our reserve is 70% full and so in “pretty good” shape.  Nonetheless, we are in a drought and 10% water use has been requested and achieved to date.   The systems throughout our state are not effectively interconnected.  Lawn Be Gone is a program that pays for removal of grass.   Thanks to Mike Harvey’s love of his home planet, Ted has agreed to remove three par 3s from his backyard (no, he hasn’t).
