President Ron's Weekly Message
Share your passion for Rotary with your family, friends, and community during Membership and Extension Month in August. This year you're invited to take part in two activities designed to help you remember why you joined Rotary, what keeps you coming back, and why others should join.
First, take the Rotary Membership Challenge. Commit to sponsor a new member, tell a friend or colleague about your club's projects, or volunteer as a mentor to prospective or new members. After you complete the form we'll email you links to resources to help you meet the challenge!
Second, participate in the first-ever Rotary Moment Tweet Day on 14 August. Tweet about your favorite Rotary memory or event, talk about your club's activities, or share your community service project. Use hashtag #RotaryMoment. Not on Twitter? Listen to Rotary's popular webinar Using Social Media to Promote Your Club or District to learn how to create a Twitter account, post your first tweet, use hashtags, and lots more. |

Jay Johnstone
To watch Jay's Pilot TV Show with Steve Yeager, Doug DeCinces, and Mike Witt. Just touch the sluggers picture! |
Today's Featured Speaker....Jay Johnstone
The colorful and quotable Johnstone enjoyed a 20-year major league career with seven teams-the Angels, White Sox, Athletics, Phillies, Yankees, Dodgers, and Cubs. During his tenure, the left handed hitting outfielder compiled a lifetime .267 average.
Johnstone appeared in four League Championship Series and two World Series- with the Yankees in 1978 and the Dodgers in '81. During the latter October classic, Johnstone connected for a game-winning two-run pinch hit home run, which enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Yankees.
With Philadelphia, Johnstone put together back-to-back seasons of .329 and .318 in 1975-76. He missed the National League batting title by a mere 12 at bats in the former year. Johnstone has authored three humorous books detailing his baseball experiences. His first book, "Temporary Insanity" became a best seller and was the top selling sports book published in 1985. Two years later, he authored "Over the Edge" while his latest literary entry, "Some of my Best Friends are Crazy" hit the bookstores in 1993.
A native of Manchester, Connecticut, Johnstone was reared in Southern California, graduating from Edgewood High in West Covina. He is currently involved in a wide variety of baseball related activities, including two syndicated television sports shows, "Baseball's Funniest Pranks" and "Super Sports Follies."
Johnstone resides in Pasadena with his wife Mary Jayne and daughter Mary Jayne Sarah |
