Enjoy a day at the races.  In the upper left, members of the Rancho Santa Fe Club (Jerah Payne, Paula Shaw, District Governor Luis Carranza, Susie and Eamon Callahan with Area 4 Assistant Governor Greg Day on the right) supported our event. Upper right are Betsy Winsett, Dee House and Garrie Rhodes.  Mary Savoy (lower right) monitored the silent auction progress, while the four horseman (lower center), Matt Kurth, Don and Donna Fipps, Michael Clark posed in the paddock with DG Luis Carranza and President Pat Caughey
 

Our inaugural Gallop4Rotary was a fantastic success! Thank you to all our members and Rotarians from across District 5340 who joined us in the Stretch Run box seats at the Del Mar Racetrack for a day of fun and fellowship. This event was the brainchild of member Linda Saville, and she, along with her hard-working committee that included Mary Savoy, Susan Maronde, Beth Westburg and Michael Clark, made it a reality. Thank you to all our members who donated items for the silent auction: Linda Saville, Craig Fravel, Mary Savoy, Pat Caughey, Brett Mattei, Lorelei Nielsen, Dawn Cox, Beth Westburg, and Marty Peters. We’re also grateful to Rotary Club of La Jolla (Nick McLoota); Rotary Club of Del Mar Solana Beach (Charles Koll), Solana Beach Eco Rotary Club; and Rotary Club of Borrego Springs for donating auction items; 100% of the proceeds from these items went straight back to their clubs. We hope you’ll join us at the track next year!  Click HERE for a link to a Google Photo album for pictures from the day.
