7:30 AM - 8:30 AM Wednesday with breakfast by Encore Performance Catering, fellowship, project updates and an interesting speaker from the community.  The last Wednesday of each month we meet at 5:30pm at a local restaurant for wine and hors d'oeuvres along with a speaker of interest.  Please check our website calendar for details. 

Morning meetings:  Guild Hall, Woodside Village Church, 3154 Woodside Road, Woodside, California  Guests are not only welcome but encouraged!

This Week's Program:  Historical Trains in California  President-Elect, Dave Hyman, will introduce Chris Hart who is the President of San Francisco Trains, Inc., a non profit founded in 2007, to preserve the State Belt#4 Steam Engine in and around S.F. Chris  will provide historic and educational information on the rail lines of San Francisco and the immediate area.
 

Last  Week's Program:   Last week was devoted to a discussion of whether or not to change the day and/or time or our club meetings as a way of increasing membership.  The compromise that was reached was to designate the last Wednesday of each month as an evening meeting from 5:30pm to 7:00 to be held at one of the area restaurants that supports Taste of Woodside.

Next Week's Program:  Micro Credit to Benefit the Women of Guatemala 

Past-President Joan Fuetsch will introduce Patrick Hall of the Rotary Club of Pacifica.  Patrick is the lead on a matching grant to provide micro-credit loans for women in Guatemala.  The MG is already at $25K but can handle additional donations from clubs in our district.  Hint! Hint!
