It allowed me to ponder what we have been doing for almost 30 years that has captured the imagination of the Santa Barbara community and the envy of many other towns. What is the magic ingredient that has created the impressive tradition of the Athletic Round Table? My conclusion was that we are simply in the recognition busi­ ness. We recognize and promote the positive accomplishments of our community's student-athletes. In the past, we focused only on sports. We have proudly evolved into recognizing excellence in sports, academics, recreation volunteerism and community service, regardless of age or gender. Some of our most satisfying moments have come in recognizing academic accomplishment and the success of female student-athletes. The pride on the faces of the student-athletes that we recognize and the feeling of satisfaction one gets from handing out that dose of self-esteem are truly unique commodities. Our beloved Chairman, Larry Crandell, has coined the term psychic income for the reward, both given and received, that is derived from being involved in the Athletic Round Table and other non-profit service organizations. Larry should know! As measured by this commodity, he is probably the richest citizen of Santa Barbara. The magic in the tradition of the Round Table is that we deal in this commodity of psychic income. We grant it in large amounts to those in greatest need ... ouryouth ... ourfuture. The trademark activities where we dispense it are our weekly Press Luncheons and this Annual Hall of Fame Banquet. Young or old, each of us craves a measure of recognition and acknowledgment for a job well-done. I greedily admit that I volunteer for the psychic income. .. and it's tax free! Paul Menzel, President Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table History enty-seven years ago,]erry Harwin and Caesar of the Uyesaka sipped coffee at Caesar's Restaurant, talking cnabout the need for a sports group in Santa Barbara that Athletic could pitch in and help out the local athletic community in times of need. After Jerry and Caesar shared a couple more RoundTable coffee breaks together, the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table was born. Its motto: The advancement and betterment of all sports and athletics in the greater Santa Barbara area. The Round Table got off to a fast start. Its first organizational meeting was held at Santa Barbara's East Beach onJanuary 25, 1968. Hundreds of people attended this meeting, and over 200 joined that evening as Charter Members. The Round Table's first annual banquet was held at Santa Barbara City College onJune 22, 1968. A number of outstand­ ing athletes in a variety of sports were honored and the evening's highlight was the induction of local athletes into the Round Table's Hall of Fame. Harry's Plaza Cafe was the site of the Round Table's first press luncheon held on September 14, 1970. This program was initiated by the new-president, Bill Bertka. These weekly luncheons were similar to a "Monday Morning Quarterback Club." All nine area schools were represented by the head coaches of the sport in season. For 25 years, the Round Table luncheons have continued to be held at Harry's every Monday, attended by standing-room only crowds. Since their first meeting back in 1968, the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table has helped hundreds of individuals and organi­ zations by raising funds to support their athletic programs. Through membership dues, contributions, fund-raisers, and grant applications, the Round Table has raised more than $1,500,000! Funds are distributed according to need. The Round Table is proud that it has been able to help athletes at all levels compete in events they would otherwise not have been able to attend. With continued community support, the Round Table is con­ fident Santa Barbara's sports opportunities will continue to grow with each new season. 4 Russ Hargreaves Memorial Award Russ Hargreaves was a dedicated member of the Santa Barbara Rec­ reation Department.
