The April 5 luncheon began with Karina Sousa, Club Secretary, ringing the bell and leading the Pledge of Allegiance.
Shaun McArdle led a meaningful invocation, and Doug Frost led singing of America the Beautiful, not All Along the Watchtower - which he really wanted to lead!
The members were thrilled by a presentation from Ron Lee, of Skydiving Innovations.
We celebrated the upcoming birthdays of Doug Frost, Steve Morris, and Shaun McArdle.
Then we got a grant recipient update update from Teresa Valenzuela and Azahalia Valdez of the San Diego Futures Foundation. Azahalia told us she had been involved with Kiwanis since childhood, so it felt like she was coming full circle to attend our luncheon.
Fun times were had by all!
