Saturday, October 29	Tim Stigers, Scott Borden, Scott’s partner Jim, Jane White and Tim’s partner Jaime (SD Uptown Sunrise Rotary Club members) smiled for the camera while generating $2,000+ at the club’s recent “Raise the Rent” party. The lively event was attended by almost a hundred guests who enjoyed the excellent cooking skills of past president, Dennis Filangeri, and the smooth jazz sounds of Femme Fusion. The cabaret-style party was held at the home of club treasurer, Regina Smalley, and her partner, Eurika Otto. Florence Elementary School and the Kenyan village of Pokot will both benefit from this inaugural fundraiser. Pokot is located in an arid region of Kenya, and monies will be used to establish a well which will provide the village with fresh water. Hillcrest’s Florence Elementary will enjoy improvements to their playground landscape with the installation of a garden allowing students the opportunity to learn about and grow plants/vegetables in their new raised beds. The San Diego Uptown Sunrise Rotary Club meets at Terra Restaurant every Thursday at 7am. Anyone interested is invited to breakfast. Please contact club president, Chris Chase at (619) 269-3413 for more information.
