MAGIC OF THE COASTSIDE 2016 SPECIAL EDITION

It was a Magical night! We had a full house, and The Blue Street Jazz Band filled the IDES Hall with both the familiar strains of the great jazz standards and a feeling of energy and fun.

The four finalists, Avis Boutell, Bill Mahar, Ruth Rafello and Erin Tormey accompanied by family members and friends, brought the focus of the evening on Service Above Self front and center. What an amazing place to live - The Coastside! Part of the magic of being a part of this community is its broad commitment to helping the underserved and addressing whatever it is that is needed to make it an even better place. Ruth Rafello was announced as the recipient of our Rotary Service Above Self Award for 2016 honoring her 50-year-plus exceptional service as a Coastside volunteer.

Enjoy the highlights in pictures that you'll find as you read on.

The spirit and tone of the night was set by Blue Street Jazz Band who once again filled the night with their joyous, foot-tapping and get-up-and dance music. Kudoes to PE Liz Schuck and her core team (Doug Adams, Dianne Bobko, Andrew Boyd-Goodrich, Wes Burgess, Mary Corcoran, Linda Crose-Andersen, Beau Donnegan, Shana Reilly-Pond, and Paul Wrubel) and her extended team of almost every member of our Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay, spouses, and children plus a few key and critical members of the IDES!

And many, many THANK YOU's to our SPONSORS and GUESTS who made the evening such a success.
