Dear Friends and Community Members,
Welcome to our 25th Silver Anniversary Fundraiser, “Barn Party Luau”. We appreciate the support and participation from the many contributors of auction items, goods and services that make this evening such a success. We would also like to thank YOU and the Santa Maria Valley Community for your attendance this year, as that is what makes this all happen. Funds raised tonight are distributed to many charitable organizations, with an emphasis on local youth and youth related organizations. Funds are also distributed in the form of numerous Vocational and Educational Scholarships, in the form of essay contests to Junior High Students, College Scholarships for High School Students, Vocational Scholarships for Hancock College, College Scholarships for Los Prietos Boys Camp graduates and this year a Cal Poly Scholarship for a local architect student in the memory of Jerry and Davie Hurley, a charter member of our club.
Since 1989 with your generous support of our Rotary Club’s activities, our club has contributed over $1,000,000.00 to the local community. We once again THANK YOU for all of your support and we recognize that your presence reflects a considered decision to continue to support the Community of Santa Maria and it’s youth!
Please have a wonderful time tonight!
Aloha and Mahalo.
