Past President Joe Gazdowicz fills in for our ailing President Brian Bauer.

The meeting was held in the event space at Balletto Vineyards. Thank you Allyson for the logistics and invitation. We met at Balletto because the power at the Masonic Hall was to be off during our meeting time.

Joe did a nice job including a return to "fining" - a Rotary tradition. Members pay fines when recognized for their birthday, anniversary, or other milestone.

President Brian Bauer's first meeting in the 2026-2027 Rotary year.

The meeting was well-attended with guests, including Brian's wife, Dr. Ellen Bauer our program speaker.

There’s a new Sheriff in town, indicated by Brian's Cowboy hat and leather coat with tassels.

Presented by Terry Kelley and Joe Gazdowicz, a Past President's plaque is given to Michael Fels.

The plaque contains a gavel, Rotary logo, and statement summarizing the Rotary year.

Thank you, Michael, for your service!

2026-2027 President Elect Linda Sinkay pins Brian Bauer.

We had a "mini" debunking at Joe and Patty Gazdowicz's house. The weather was beautiful and attendance was good.

Thank you all for brining your potluck items and wine.

This year's July SCARC (Sonoma County Association of Rotary Clubs) meeting is at Balletto Winery. See the adjacent poster for details.

This event is hosted every year by the Rotary Club of Sebastopol Sunrise and the "Program" is soley the welcoming and introduction of Rotarians.

If you are a new Club President, attendance is encouraged. Feel free to announce your income Board and tell us about your fundraisers.

This is the 2026 Peacetown schedule. Come! Join in! Sit with your Rotarian friends and enjoy the fellowship.

Many of us bring lawn chairs and sit together. Many also drop their chairs off early and the space can fill up fast.
