Inspiration
Suzanne focused on how to allow yourself to both celebrate and grieve with grace…let it all in. Also that life is a cup we can fill as we like. So fill it with positivity so when it spills it’s a little more bearable.

Decor
The St Luke’s eggs were made by Meghan, substituting for Kathy and Randy who are out of town. A photo of the hard boiled but undecorated eggs was shared, eliciting a hearty laugh around the room. Meghan is proudly not crafty, but good at many other things!
Red Badges
Red badges were presented to new members Eleanor Yick and George Rossman by their sponsor Jeffrey Blum. They both serve on town commissions with other Rotarians.
Blue Badge Bio
Angel Rampy, sponsored by Anna Maria, gave her blue badge bio. She feels grateful and blessed. Born and educated in the Philippines she came here after college. Her father was a Rotarian. She worked as an executive coach and likes to help foreign-born professionals. She worked for many silicon valley corporations, the county, and nonprofits, promoting kids health and women in business among other causes. Welcome Angel!
