Last Wednesday we had our monthly evening social at Station Craft in Dana Point. With 2 guests and fellow Rotarians, the evening was filled with camaraderie and fellowship. The appetizers provided by MBSR were great too! Station Craft is a great venue for future gatherings.

Our own John Coffman, Past President of Monarch Beach Sunrise Rotary 2014-2015, gave a phenomenal talk about his time living in the South Pacific. John shared about his work on the Transatlantic pipeline in the '80s and also about how he met his wife Sylvia on a blind date after he moved to Thousand Oaks, California. John traveled all over the world with Arco. He moved his family to Jakarta in Indonesia for 5 years. He had many adventures, some with and some without his bride, but he is indeed a storyteller, and has the pictures to prove it! Mock battles with the natives, a pig feast, and mummies included, helped us to see a different side of John. What a colorful individual, what a stellar Rotarian, and always service above self!

And so a new Rotary year begins...We welcome Hayden Macurda and Anita Houston as our Co-Presidents of the Monarch Beach Sunrise Rotary. The entire club will be the wind beneath your wings and lift you both to spectacular heights as our leaders in this new Rotary year of service. Congratulations!
