Updates from President Doug
Doug Feco talked about our different scholarship programs (Simi Sunrise Charitable Foundation and the Leonard Coppola Vocational Fund); he shared thank you letters from ARC, the Simi Valley Library and RYLA attendees; and he said that at the Cajun Festival we collected $2100 from tip jars and $500 from passing the box around each week for members to deposit $1.00 in if they forgot their Rotary pin - both of these going to the Charitable Foundation's scholarship program.

PROGRAM
Soaring Spirits
Michelle Neff Hernandez
We had the pleasure of hearing from Michelle Neff Hernandez about her wonderful organization Soaring Spirits.
Widowed people created Soaring Spirits because they discovered that connecting with other widowed people made the challenges of surviving a spouse or partner a little easier to manage.
Soaring Spirits offers widowed men and women understanding, friendship, inspiration, and encouragement as they learn to live without the person with whom they intended to spend the rest of their lives.
Soaring Spirits communities, both online and in-person, are diverse, inclusive, secular, and positive. They share resources, ideas, energy, and most importantly, hope. Visit the website for more information by clicking on the button below.
