President Justin Frisco opened our December meeting. We said the Pledge of Allegiance and greeted guests including Rachel Hilliard, doing an interclub from Southeastern Kiwanis.

Next, Carl Nettleton introduced our speaker, San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan who spoke to us about Fentanyl and its effects in the community.

We inducted new member Will Earley.

Then we awarded Karina Sousa the “Do All Be All” Award for her many contributions to everything about our Club and Foundation.

Wendy Reuben gave an update from the Membership Team,

followed by birthday celebrations for:

• Ricardo Sandoval – December 6
• Constantine Harrison – December 7

Members generously donated Bill’s Bucks to commemorate:

• Gordon Boerner – honored to have new member Will at the luncheon who was a Key Club President and glad to be retired to be able to spend time with his daughter
• Glen Honig – his grandson is now 5 months old
• Karina Sousa – been with her partner 9 years and now married

We did a quick recap of events since our last meeting, followed by a look to future events before President Frisco rang the bell to end the meeting, the last of 2024!
