VISITING ROTARIANS:

We were in the bar end of the BCCC with the small tables. So President consolidated three tables for introductions. Jim Edwards introduced the visiting Rotarians at the first tier of three tables. He introduced Mark Stuenkel, of the Chico Sunrise Club. Roy Ellis introduced Roger Williams, of the Chico Club, at the second tier of three table. Someone then asked President Andy about his table. He said his was part of the first tier of three tables (making it 4 tables), since he made the rules.

REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

THE NEXT MEETING

There will be NO MEETING on January 16^th. The next meeting will be on January 23^rd. PLEASE NOTE that this meeting will be at the Golden Valley Bank, 190 Cohasset Rd, Suite 170. That is the end of Cohasset near the Esplanade. Norm Larson has arranged with Frank Spiteri to provide the dinner. We will have a quick tour of the bank facility and then a program presented by K. R. Robertson.

CRAB FEED

The Durham Rotary Crab Feed is Saturday, January 27^th. All members will be assigned a task. The work schedule is at the end of the Rowel. Please check what you are scheduled for and be there on time. If any member cannot attend, let Chris know to be assigned a pre-event task.

There will be a Crab Feed Committee meeting at 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 18th, at the Italian Cottage on the Skyway. The whole committee must be there.

Chris Hatch passed out tickets to sell. Go to work and sell them. The menu will be the same as last year. The tickets are $35.00 each. This has become our second most important fundraiser. But it is important that all the tickets be sold. The profit is on the last tickets sold.

Member Transfer

Larry Bradley is leaving our club to join an Oroville Club, since he works in Oroville. President Andy assessed him a “transfer fee” of $50.00.

Sergeant at Arms

With Larry’s leaving, President Andy appointed Bruce Miller as Sergeant at Arms for the remainder of the year.

Harvest Festival Financial Report

Dan Davis has completed the accounting for the 2006 Harvest Festival. He reports that the net proceeds amounted to $20,750. This is an increase of $2,041 over 2005, in spite of the problems in serving meals without the Captain Bob.

Rotary Ski Challenge

The Roitary Club of Tahoe City presents the 31^st Annual Dick Linkey Rotary Ski Challenge on Friday, March 2, 2007. They tout this as the largest gathering of skiing Rotarians in the world. For more information go to their web site at: www.tahoecityrotary.org. The completed registration package must be completed and delivered to them by February 23, 2007. They also mentioned their Tahoe Cup Challenge at the Coyote Moon Golf Course on June 14, 2007. Register for this at: www.tcgolf,golfreg.com.

RECOGNITIONS

President Andy contributed $10 for his birthday.

Roy Ellis bid in the Grinder for $55.

PROGRAM

The program was Brian Anderson, Superintendent of the Butte County Juvenile Hall. This was a program that Roy Ellis had originally arranged for last November, but could not present. He helped Phil Price to rearrange it for tonight. Actually, the program was originally recommended to Roy and set up by Lindy Robinson, a former member of Durham Rotary who volunteers at the Juvenile Hall.

Brian gave a very interesting talk about Juvenile hall and the “inmates” in the Hall. He repeated letters and poetry written by some of these kids. He also circulated a book published by the Butte County Department of Education containing poetry and other writings and drawings by these children. (I would like to know from Don McNelis, where I could obtain a copy).

Brian also discussed the operation of the juvenile system.

Must Be Present To Win Drawing

Dan Davis was present to win the drawing.
