Update on Patrick Riordan
 
Jay Riordan's son, Patrick, was severely injured in a horrific accident over a week ago.  He has already had multiple surgeries to repair the broken bones he suffered in multiple locations on his body.  The good news is that he is making steady progress and has been responsive and also was off his ventilator for 40 minutes earlier today.  Each day, Brenda or Jay has been reporting the steady progress Patrick is making.  He has a long road ahead with more surgery, so keep Patrick, Jay, Brenda and the rest of the family in your prayers.  They are part of our Rotary family.
 
Elmer Getz
 
I saw former long time member, Elmer Getz and his wife, Ruth at Costco this morning.  He was looking good and actually was the one who called to me as I was walking toward the building.  It was good to see him.
 
RB Sunrise Board Meeting
 
The board of director's meeting for RB Sunrise will be held on Wednesday, Feb 17 at 6:00 pm at Craig Browns Office.  Craig's office, Rancho Financial,  is located just north of the MacDonalds restaurant on Bernardo center drive.  We meet on the first floor office conference room.  If you are a new member, this is a chance to get some points toward your blue badge.
 
Rotational Breakfasts
 
Next week we are reverting to the original way that Rotary began 111 years ago.  Those early club members "rotated' the location of their meetings  to the various members offices.  That quickly became a problem for new members to find that week's meeting and also the member's offices soon were too small to accommodate the growing club.  However beacuse of that early "rotation" of the meeting venue, the club because known as Rotary and the name has survived for over a hundred years.  Please learn tomorrow where you can meet with other members to recreate the small group experience that was so important in the beginning of Rotary.  Steve Smith is coordinating the office assignments for Feb 23 meeting
 

District 5340 Dinner a Success!

DG Janice Kurth visiting with Jeanne MacLaren
On a warm evening at Liberty Station, District 5340 Rotarians gathered for a fun evening at the Stone Brewery World Bistro.  RB Sunrise Rotary Club was well represented, not only with 15 members in attendance, but also with the fact that two of our members, Jeanne MacLaren and Kim Muslusky, co-chaired this sold out event.  A capacity crowd of over 250 Rotarians and guests filled the side meeting room of the bistro. 
 
When guests arrived, members of our club who were assistiing Jeanne and Kim, helped the guests find their nametags and then gave them 2 wooden tokens. These tokens were what the guests used to obtain either 2 glasses of beer or 2 glasses of wine.  The choice of beers available on draft included not only some of the favorites like the IPA and the Arrogant Bastard Ale, but also some choices of beer that is available only at Liberty Station because it is produced only at that location.  One such choice was a non-smoked porter and a stout. 
 
The food at Stone Brewery also was not the usual "rubber chicken" fare.  I don't know about the vegetarian choice, but the braised beef on polenta was very good. 
 
The entire restaurant was closed to the public because in addition to the Rotary Dinner, there was also a larger group (from FaceBook) that had booked the rest of the facility for the evening.  Congratulations to Jeanne and Kim for booking the location early! From the noise level in the room from the conversations of all the Rotarians and guests in the room, I can guess that everyone had a great time at this very different Rotary social event.
