A festive and "feastive" good time was had by all at the recent Senior Holiday Dinner hosted by The Rotary Club of Los Osos for the 33rd time! This complimentary dinner was prepared by the Rotarians to honor the seniors in our community with a full turkey dinner with all the fixings made with love. The meals were served by the Rotarians in the kitchen and at the tables, along with several members of the MBHS Interact Club and the children and grandchildren of some of the members. Bill and Peggi Charlesworth provided the holiday tunes and lead a sing-along of some favorite seasonal tunes. Well over 100 meals were served as well as take-outs for those unable to attend.

Today, October 24, we celebrate World Polio Day. This day honors the legacy of Dr. Jonas Salk, whose groundbreaking work led to the development of the first successful polio vaccine, changing the course of history. Each year, Michelle Caretto Feldman from the Rotary Club of Los Osos finds a creative way to raise awareness and funds to help eliminate this terrible disease once and for all. This year, she took her mission to new heights—literally—by walking 500 yards on stilts to inspire others to contribute. Over the years, Michelle’s passion and determination have raised thousands of dollars, all of which are matched two-to-one by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, effectively tripling the impact of every contribution toward a polio-free world. Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a cruel and highly contagious virus that attacks the nervous system, often leading to paralysis within hours. It strikes hardest at children under five, leaving many with lifelong disabilities and, in severe cases, dependent on machines just to breathe, like the Iron Lung.- John Lindsey

It's a great event and a wonderful collaboration among the three groups. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Paso Robles for sharing this photo.

President John Lindsey presides over his final meeting of his very successful year at the helm of the Rotary Club of Los Osos. The members then celebrated his year with a Step-Down Dinner hosted by Gary & Cheryl Dove. Thank you, John, for bringing such enthusiasm to each Friday morning! Several new members joined the group, and we had great turnouts for our Family Fun Fair, Senior Holiday Dinner and BBQ Rib Dinner for Scholarships. In honor of our recently passed, beloved member Jim Quesenberry, you continue to make the coleslaw for the Community Dinner, just the way he taught you. Way to carry out our "Service Above Self" mission, John!
