Program:

Members of the Oceanside Club joined us for the District Governor's visit. Mo FitzRoberts gave an informational and entertaining presentation on her motto "you can do anything in Rotary if you want to". Mo has packed a great deal of Rotary involvement into her life since joining in 2002. She challenged us to do one little thing to make Barney's year an enjoyable year.
