The next Whisky Fellowship - May 6
 

There are rare yet special times when what sounds too good to be true – is actually true.

It has been 41 hours since our last Whisky Fellowship event. As you undoubtedly are aware it was a spectacular affair with two dozen of the coolest and most entertaining Rotarians regaling in joy, laughter, warmth, comradery, culinary delights, and a wee nip or two of some of the finest whiskys available. 

There has been a starling avalanche of requests/demands/inquisitions thrust upon me over the past 41 hours pertaining to the reveal of the next such event.

Through an almost unbearable deployment of resources: time, people, money, blood, sweat, and tears - we have finally completed the legal, moral, ethical, spiritual, enlightening name change from the  “Whisky Fellowship of The Rotary Club of Tucson” to the “Desert Spirits Fellowship of The Rotary Club of Tucson” – in Honor of Cinco de Mayo. 

It would encompass weeks of time to dissect all the complicated changes this entails. To summarize – we will now be celebrating, in addition to whisky – tequila and mescal.  

Brett Stein and I are pleased to have our endeared brothers from another mother – Gordy Siewert and Luis Hernandez, join our coveted Leadership Team. 

As per always, this is going to be the most fun event yet.

Brett and I personally guarantee it. (If you deem it necessary to activate this guarantee: do not hesitate to share all your grievances with Brett any time, day or night).
