Viva la Fiesta! Fiesta Friday is a holiday in Santa Barbara. Check out the @oldspanishdays Historical Parade (El Desfile Histórico) one of the largest equestrian parades in the country, “the Fiesta Historical Parade is unique to Santa Barbara and features floats depicting episodes from the history of the state and city including descendants of local Native Americans and Spanish Pioneers.”
Sunrisers @sbsunriserotary loved celebrating our local culture and people.
Thanks to all the volunteers and everyone who ensures this tradition continues! www.sbfiesta.org
18,000+ steps today and wasn’t in the parade. So much to see and great music, food and dancing!💃🏻

**Registration Begins at 5:30 p.m.

Kathleen obtained her masters degree in public affairs at the University of Washington, and returned to Santa Barbara where she raised her daughter Madeline, who is now 20 years old and a 3rd year computer science major, at California Polytechnic Institute in San Luis Obispo.
Madeleine is an exceptional student who loves math, art and science, with an array of interests that portend well for her future career. She has worked on constructing and employing her artistry, on the award winning Cal Poly Rose Float for 3 consecutive years.
Kathleen is an athlete, the total adventure woman. She loves to hike, run the local trails, and learned to swim 1.2 miles in the ocean. She is a runner, cyclist, and triathlete, who completed the Santa Cruz Half Iron Man twice, with her daughter cheering her on, before taking her daughter to college.
Kathleen’s parents continue to reside in Santa Barbara. Her mother is a graduate of Bishop Garcia Diego High School, and her father graduated from South High in Bakersfield.
Kathleen’s parents and grandparents were all dedicated public servants. Her father is a retired firefighter, and her mother is a retired teacher.

She has one younger sister who is a high school counselor in the Bay Area and a younger brother in Northern CA. Her Aunt, Uncles, and many cousins are all in California, if you don’t count Reno. Additional family members include two foster cats and a foster puppy.
In the time I have known Kathleen, I have learned what all of you already know, that she is a kind, caring, and highly intelligent individual, who puts others before herself. She exemplifies Service Above Self, the persona of the model Rotarian." - Ron B. February 2024
