Spindrift February 20, 2020
Meeting at the Newport Beach Yacht Club patio in the cheerful bright sunshine was one of those times when we couldn’t meet at the BCYC because of a long-time commitment to their members. Joe Brown with great candor spoke with God for us about our volunteerism, support for our military, and our health. Deane Bottorf led us in a salute to the beautiful flag on the patio.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
President Ken did some very timely promotion of the First Annual Valentine’s day party for the 14th, and we were onward towards a great choice of Mexican specialties. Next week, as planned we will be back at the same NBYC, but downstairs.
We all recognized the celebrities Tom and Jean Naughton and Ed and Mary Romeo who hit the front page of the Daily Pilot for their long-time marriages and friendship.
They are proud of their reputation. Eight Exchange clubs support this Family Center, five from Orange County and three from LA. One of the new events is to have fresh fruit available at the Center. Their current needs are for new chairs; they need 18 of them. They are now offering appropriate birth control information. The PTAs are stepping up also to become involved.
Q and A. Q: Budget? A: for 2019, $420K + and endowment fund. Q: How to measure success? A: The National Exchange’s analysis showed 82% positive results. Q: How many parents/class? A: 12-14.
Thank you, Georgeann, for bringing us up to date on your Family Center activities.

RAFFLE -- Tom Naughton won the ten and Ross Stewart won the Jackson, having to pry it out of our President’s pocket but he got it!
