Presidents Message
May 8, 2022
 
 
 
It is so hard to believe a year ago Gordon and I were running up and down the back stairs at HOA 1, trying to get a Wi-fi signal strong enough to have our first hybrid meeting.
 
Our club has grown and changed so much in the past year; I could not be prouder.  We moved to The Ranch, outgrown the board room, and now are busting at the seams in the private dining room.
 
Our membership has grown from 42 members at the first of the Rotary year by 40%, bringing our current membership to 58 members.   And so many of our new members bring decades of Rotary service to our club.  It is now wonder our club has been able to accomplish so much for our communities.
 
I so look forward seeing what we can accomplish……thank you all for the dedication you continue to give our club.
 
Liese

2022 San Manuel Chili Cookoff
San Manuel Chili Cook-off
 
The first annual San Manuel Revitalization Coalition Chili Cook-Off is in the books!  Saddlebrooke Rotary was the proud Habanero sponsor.  Our team met well in advance to organize participation.  The preparation at the event started the night before and on Saturday our team worked from 7:00 AM until after 4:00 PM.  We set up 2 work tents, one for the cooks and the other for the Rotary hosts.
 
The cooking team consisted of Linda and John Howard, Bill and Diane Demeroutis, Harvey Smith, and Ed Lueck.
 
The Rotary Host team consisted of Gordon Wainwright, Barbara Barr, Eric Erickson, Leslie Hawkins, Jeff Veselenak, Wanda and Roger Bailey, Elaine Terry. and Dan Green.
 
Our chili must have been great because it was totally consumed by the end of the event.  Fellow Rotarian, Stephen Argentati who was representing his real estate company, Oracle Land Realty and Investments won the Peoples Choice Award.  Congratulations Stephen.
