Welcome to this week’s meeting of the eClub of the State of Jefferson.
Hello, eClub Members! Welcome to our weekly meeting.
Well, I have been back in sunny Southern California for the past two + months, and I have to say that the “Sunny California” motto does not apply to the Santa Barbara area! Their motto is, “Oh look, it another Gray May”, or “Oh dear, another gloomy June”. I’ve been waking up each morning to high 50’s or low 60’s. I then put on a pair of socks, a pair of sweatpants, a long-sleeved shirt or sweatshirt, and shiver myself to the kitchen in hopes of a hot cup of coffee. Wake up Jackie, you’re not in Mazatlán anymore!
At our last board meeting the board approved Elizabeth Chase as our newest eClub member. Welcome Elizabeth! We hope that you enjoy our club.
At our May meeting, we discussed and partially finalized our new District Grant application to support our ongoing Navajo Solar Lights Project and provide new sewing machines in Pakistan. We also talked about the need for volunteers to serve as eClub board members/directors or Foundation board members/directors. If you can spare time for a one-hour monthly meeting or an occasional Foundation meeting, please contact me as soon as possible.
June is my last month as President of the Eclub and Foundation. Thank you all for your support throughout this past year. Obaid will begin his term as President on July 1, 2026. I am sure with our help Obaid will be a great President. Sometime in near future I will fly to Massachusetts to visit my bestie for a couple of months. We plan on visiting Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, and plan to do more sightseeing of the Atlantic Coast.
In the meantime, enjoy today’s program and tech support, and don’t forget about attending our Coffee Chats every Tuesday at noon (Pacific time). Here’s the link if you are interested in attending:

The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships.
The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
Of the things we think, say or do
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Through the efforts of President Elect Obaid; the eClub has purchased and is preparing to distribute sewing machines to familes in Pakistan. These families suffered devastating losses from flooding. The sewing machines provides these families with an opportunity to generate income and to better their lives.
Note the eClub name stenciled on the sewing machines.
