President Cathy’s Debunking:

Tony Roehrick had a clever program put together to highlight Cathy as a therapist, Rotarian president and winery owner.  The cast included Ann Gospe as Cathy.  Julia Parranto, Jeff Kolin, Jeanne Levin and Jose Guillen.

  1. The first skit introduces Ann as Cathy and Jeanne and Jose as clients.  Ann drinks wine through the skit and says that they should too.
  2. Skit #2 had Julia as very fearful of being buried alive. The advice?  “Stop it!”
  3. This was the replaying of a scene from the 2014 movie “She’s Funny that way” starring Jennifer Aniston as a therapist.
  4. In this skit she is counseling President Elect Jeff on what it is like to be president. That advice included:  tell smutty jokes, feed them dried out chicken, have your dog do tricks, forget parts of the program, get money.  Her present for Jeff is an Ouji Board.
  5. Tony finally gets serious and plays a video showing highlights of Cathy’s year.: The poinsettias for the senior Christmas party, The Children’s Nutcracker, the public service awards, the delivery of dictionaries to the 3rd graders in Santa Rosa, the high schools honor students, Youth in Agriculture, World Community Service and lastly , NewGen but not mentioned, winning the bocce ball tournament!   Not everything went right.   Covid-19 forced us to cancel the Giro Bello.  We could not meet at the Flamingo, but she pretty much mastered Zoom meetings!   She managed to be president, therapist and winery owner all at the same time!  She was presented with a lovely clock and a gift certificate at the Riveria Restaurant.

Thank you, Cathy, for a great Rotary year that will long be remembered!

Love,

Your fellow Rotarians and Friends
