Meetings at 7AM on Thurs at Coronado Yacht Club

Executive Summary
All the Sports Fiesta Event Leaders talked to the serfs to motivate them to smile as they
trudged around in their goldenrod cloaks at menial tasks during Sports Fiesta events. Still needed—
those who can pour water into cups at the finish line, those who can handle a paring knife to slice
oranges, and those who can see divers dive and count to ten on their fingers.

And what happened today? In a sea of goldenrod we had guests. Matt Zigrowski and Dave Wilcox
were guests of Joe Ochoa. Nick Gilliland came with his dad Mark.

Nancy Owen and Assembly person Mary Salas were the guests of Jim Cooper. Nancy received an
award as Woman of the Year in the 79th Assembly District from Mrs. Salas. I think she was supposed
to get this at the Rotary Club, but maybe the Assembly person couldn’t hang around for lunch, so the
Optimists filled it. To bad the guy from the Eagle Journal wasn’t here. We do more than bedpans. If
anybody has a neighbor or knows someone who gets an award we can fit them in on our program. I
guess we buy them breakfast too. That’s what happens when life is full of serendipity.

Ledge Hakes and Jim Cartwright went over all the work that has gone into preparing for 37th Annual
Sports Fiesta. There has been a powerful lot of behind-the-scenes activities working with the city and
the air station to set things up right. Now we just have to show up in our goldenrod shirts and smile.

Some details--There will be a cookout on Saturday, July 26. It will be at the Yacht Club from 6-8 PM. A
flyer will get to you somehow.

Rich McCampbell says that he needs some help with the diving events on Sunday morning
and afternoon. This is down at the Municipal Pool. All you have to be able to do is add numbers—no
fractions, just decimals. It can be fun. Call Rich.

We are still trying to locate a few more tables to use for the scorers, the money changers, and
the water pourers. If you have a sturdy 4 to 6 foot table that we can use on Saturday and Sunday (26
and 27 July) give Bob Sheridan a call (435-1938). We pick up and deliver.

Dave Wilcox, who works with Joe Ochoa, was thanked by Roy Mantz for using the internet to
attract entrants to our events. And did you see Joe’s ad for the Family Gym in the Eagle Journal
which featured our own Jack Chilton on his red bike as well as an entry form for the Sports Fiesta.
Good show!!!

Gooch returned to take up the 50-50 drawing duties. In his first try in weeks he had trouble
giving away $40. Someone out three has a winning 444 ticket in their pocket. I wonder if Gooch will
honor it next week.

We had two signup sheets circulating today. Jack Larison wanted people to go down to the
City Rec Center in their yellow uniforms to herd little kids through exercise routines. Just the thing for
grandparent training. Short fuse action because it is from 10-noon today (Thursday).And Jim
Cartwright wants to know who is going to be available on Sports Fiesta weekend. He had a complex
coding where one of three marks was to be place by one’s name. I don’t think his sheet made it out of
table number one.

Anyway, Promise Yourself to be so strong…
