Past President Dan Jaeger filled in for Deb Davila who is recuperating from her surgery. He reminded us that being a club president is a big job and that there is much that goes on behind the scenes by a team of people. Let's be sure to thank her for all of her efforts on our behalf and hope that she heals well and quickly.
He could not pass up the opportunity to regale us with several thought provoking poems, one of which was entitled Pre-apocalyptic Blues.

Fred Bauermeister
Executive Director - Free Clinic of Simi Valley
Fred Bauermeister updated us on the recent developments at the Free Clinic. He spoke about the partnerships between the Clinic and several organizations including Rotary. He shared the vision for the new Multi-Service Center that will be opening its doors later this year. They are currently looking to raise an additional $400K in order to complete the project.
He appealed to Rotarians to help move the clinic into the new building in May of this year.
Furthermore, our own Bill Klepper will be helping the Clinic raise funds selling bricks that will be located in a small plaza at the new building.
