Rotary Happens Making Dreams Real Chips from the Buzzsaw Weekly Newsletter of the Mighty Día de los Muertos! Rotary Club of West Sacramento Just in case you missed it, our second Pop-up Meeting of the year was a huge Volume 71, No. 17 success! Katie Villegas was our gracious host and opened her home to our November 1, 2019 Mighty Club members last Friday evening. The theme for the meeting was Day of the Dead or Día de los Muertos- a multi-day Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and elsewhere by people of Mexican heritage, (and by the rest of us who look for reasons to have a good time!) The holiday typically involves family and friends gathering to pray for and remember friends and family members who have passed on. For the Mighty Rotary Club of West Sacramento, it was an excuse to get dressed up, wear some makeup, eat some wonderful food, drink a cold cerveza and hang out with Katie and Oscar! Club photographer, Dave “Ansel” Kamminga had a previous commitment and couldn’t make the meeting but, with the miracle that is the internet, this editor was able to pull down a few pics from (I think) the Facebook pages of those who attended. As you can clearly see by the pictures, our club is nothing if not enthusiastic when it comes time to dress up and have fun! Thank you Katie (and Oscar) for a great way to spend Club 558 of District 5180 PO Box 288 a Friday! West Sacramento, CA 95691 Meets Every Friday at Club Pheasant, 12:15 Guess which one’s Dustin...
