The meeting was held again in the comfortable community room of the Half Moon Library, with Rotary Club President Krystlyn Giedt presiding. She opened the meeting by leading the Pledge of Allegiance.
The meeting was a small one, with only a handful of members, but it was a productive one. Members enjoyed their lunches and quickly got down to what we might want to do this year as a club, and discussed and eagerly traded reflections, thoughts, opinions and needs they saw in the community.
Krystlyn brought up the survey and reflected on the idea of public image, and on helping other local nonprofits. Out of that came the idea of dedicating one meeting a month to working as a club on a particular project chosen by the club.
Then to Club business: Next week is the annual new teachers’ meeting. Lunches will be provided. Let Liz Schuck know if you plan to attend.
Krystlyn said that in her first Rotary year, she had been impressed by Paul’s Wrubel Awards, and so, in her year, she has a plan for what she called the Starr awards (Starr is Krystlyn’s middle name.) That stands for Spectacular, Thankful, Awesome, and Respected Rotarians. To that end she handed out yummy, sparkly little Starr cookies, and named the Starr Rotarian for July: Rose Serdy, who shared the very tedious Relay for Life planning and fundraising duties with Renee Lewis.

Liz mentioned the Rotary park/mural we founded here in Half Moon Bay, and Ralph Ely said he’d seen a Rotary plaque along a walking trail in New Zealand. Liz thought about our equivalent here in Carter Park, Half Moon Bay, and wondered if there was something here that we as the Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay, California, USA, could contribute to supporting?
Other discussion topics the meeting touched on included: Rose discussed concerns about farmworkers getting to doctors’ appointments here on the Coastside, soccer uniforms for Moonridge youth, the mural we did on the City Hall building, safety equipment for those who need to ride bikes to work, and thinking outside the box as to how we as Rotarians can benefit our community, the Big/Little Coyotes with which former Rotarian Teresa Adam had been active which had been successful to a point, but unfortunately had rather faded away.
