Happy Father's Day! - Weekend Activities

Happy Father's Day to everyone!

What a fun weekend! Following the great Stage Kids presentation last month, 20+ of us bought tickets to their current show, Wizard of Oz, for Friday night (6/18). Kristen and Erik graciously offered to host a pre-function at their house where it was a lot of fun to socialize beforehand.

John, Betsy, and the rest of us enjoyed heavy appetizers and fellowship on a beautiful evening. It was just what the Doctor ordered. 

Speaking of which, did we mention he and Kristen also sponsored the show? Way to go, it's amazing to see the youth development and to see them grow!

It's hard to believe how well these kids performed in each of their roles. You'd have thought they'd been playing the roles for years they were so polished.

Pybus Takeover

So what is a Pybus Takeover?

This is a great opportunity for Rotary volunteers to get out in the community and collaborate with Pybus Market and the Wenatchee Valley Farmers Market to help them set up, help market-goers get their items to their vehicles, and spend time with each other!

This summer we are hosting a takeover the third Saturday of each month through the end of the Farmers Market. This month, we did a pet parade and handed out frisbees with the Rotary logo. 

There was no charge or registration for the parade, but we did collect donated pet foods and supplies to be given to the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. We gathered at 10:15 am on the steps and grassy area south of the market, just below the walkway ramp and then paraded through the market.

Jackie was the grand marshal of our parade and was a great sport; even adding face paint (at least I think it was - or was it her true colors?).  She was purr-fect for the role of Pleasant Pet Parade Principal Pacesetter! Fun fact, did you know you can download a thesaurus app for your phone?

 

All kinds of pets showed up, even a bunny rabbit, and it's not even Easter!

In the end, we collected quite a nice little donation for our local humane society!

Today's bonus quote is from Muhammad Ali (or Cassius Clay for those of you who remember sitting next to him in your high school algebra class):

"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth."

Have a great finish to the weekend and see you all Tuesday!
