30th Annual YOUTH CITIZENSHIP AWARDS

Volume 58, No. 41 Week of May 23, 2016

David Masci introduced the award ceremony by stressing

the important impact our students of today will have on our

tomorrow. He noted that the 23 students who will be hon-

ored have been chosen by their schools to be exemplary

contributors to both their schools and their community.

David then introduced those who will present the awards

to each student: Mayor Joel Price, County Supervisor Linda

Parks, and Conejo Valley Unified School District officials Dr.

Ann Bonatibus, Superintendent, Jeanne Valentine, Director

of Elementary Education, and James Garza, Director of Sec-

ondary Education. He also commended SVUSD Administra-

tive Assistant Kate Potter for bringing the project together.

Each student then came to receive their awards as reports of

their service contributions were enthusiastically read.

Rotary Club of Thousand Oaks Meeting

May 19, 2016

Past President Carole Freeman explained that President Mike Murphy was

litigating a court case that prevented him from attending this week. She

then welcomed members and guests to a special Rotary meeting honoring

outstanding student citizens and coincidently taking place outside in the

beautiful Los Robles Gardens.

Carol reminded us that our schools were an important force in our commu-

nity and the students in these school were our future. She then offered a

special welcome to the parents, grandparents, and friends of those students

who would be acknowledged shortly for their contributions to their school

and to our community.

Tony Karounis shared the moment of inspiration and led the group in the

Salute to the Flag.

Ken Kossoff introduced Doug Meissner from Ameriprise Financial, the guest of

Jill Lederer.

FINE SESSION

Finemaster Tammie Helmuth enlisted the aid of some of the students present in ask-

ing questions about the meaning of certain text gems like “LOL” and “K.” She also

asked about the meaning of many emoticons.

Happy $$$$

Karen Furnari noted that those that plan to bring a

guest to next week’s Memorial Day Celebration

meeting should let President Mike know so that we

There were not too many Happy Dollars due to the anxious anticipation of

the excitement of the Student citizen of the year awards.

Chris Lamia carried the cup wearing a great cap to shade him.
