Second Irwin Cohen sang With These Hands adding his own falsetto - “ Soulful!”
 
Third we heard Steve Wilson sing I Walk the Line in voice character adding the extra verse:
    I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
    I keep my pants up with a piece of twine
    So if you’re mine 
    Please pull the twine!
“Cash only no checks or cards!”

Announcements
She is one busy lady!  Rusty Reilly-Pond said the 3rd grade dictionaries almost all distributed.  El Granada will be the last, and  she is still trying to schedule. Seacrest with Catherine and Paul and Farallon View with Joe and Mary next week.
She also gave us an update on her homeless iniative and the Dignity on Wheels project which are still a work in progress.
She passed out the registration forms for Relay for Life and encouraged everyone to register NOW to get on the Rotary Team.  We still need a team captain – and she was thinking perhaps 2 or 3 of our members might co-captain such a team.  Come you Rotarians – think about how Cancer has impacted your Life and the Lives of loved ones and step up to the plate!!!
District Assembly is this weekend, and if you are on the Warren’s board, you should go!
