"A Black and White Ball"
This year's Foundation Dinner was held at the new Crowne Plaza Hotel & Casino on November 1, 2003. This brand new facility was beautiful. The event was sold-out with over 670 in attendance. This is the major fund raising project of our district, which is under the leadership of District Governor John Colville. This support of The Rotary International Foundation results in the funding of the various international programs.

The Rotary Club of Santa Monica sponsored three tables under the leadership of President Dee Menzies. Thirteen silent auction items were acquired due to the efforts of PP John McIntire. Thanks to our Co-Chairmen Marv Levin & PP Hal Quigley and their committee over $10,500 in raffle tickets were sold by or to approximately 125 of our Rotarians. A big thank you to Kai-Li Quigley for the numerous hours in support services. Our work resulted (because of "Mother Luck") in our club winning two of the three grand prizes.
