Day Six Evening - Return of the Ties

We were joined in our little pre dinner gathering by Guicho and his wife, check out the ties! Guicho has always been a fantastic support for Festival of Brotherhood and is very popular with our clubs.



The Californians gathered for a bit of celebration, our newly arrived team members were rested and ready for the first organized event to include all of us. Kirk Brown, District Governor, Jim Flamson, District Governor Elect, and Maureen Merrill, District Governor Nominee celebrate the moment that Maureen is awarded her special monkey - carry it proudly Maureen - don't lose it in your purse!

Rotarians from all clubs gathered, a reunion for many who have been a part of the Festival of Brotherhood for 14 years.

Lupita from the Alamo Club and Dale from the Rohnert Park Cotati Club visit and catch up. Their clubs have a long term special relationship; a brother and sister club.
Past District Governors Bruce and Manobe open the event. Bruce was announcing that over 77 FOB grants have been completed between our clubs. The matching grants already in process bring us up to 99. The next grant committed to will bring us up to 100. Congratulations everyone!
Kirk relates his gratitude and admiration for the hospitality and accomplishments of our host clubs.
District Governor Guicho draws warm applause for his words of welcome, encouragement and optimism.
