VISITING
ROTARIANS & GUESTS
Pres. Andy asked Dan
Davis, Dar Meyer, Jim Kirks and Clint Goss to introduce visiting
Rotarians. Introduced were Al Lotspeich
(former member and President of Durham Rotary) and Fred Muller of the Chico
Sunrise Club and Dave Rush of the Chico Club.
We also had several students who were Interact members (See below).
Annie Marie and Kevin
Spafford, parents of one of the students, were introduced as guests.
Also introduce as a guest
was Tom Knoles, who was a guest of Bill Apger, except that Bill was absent
($$$$$?).
REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Daryl Polk briefly reported on PETS, which
he attended last weekend.
Roy Ellis announce that the interviews of
students for
INSURANCE
Phil Price reported upon his investigation,
at President Andy’s request, of insurance coverage for the Club. The Club is covered under the U. S. Rotary
Club & District General Liability Insurance Program, which covers all clubs
and districts in the
THE
I am a little confused.
I am assuming that Steve Plume has moved back to March 20th
and will present Andy Famino the new owner of Famino’s Family Market who will
talk about his experiences in taking over the former Holiday Market in
HARVEST FESTIVAL
Steve Greenwood reminded members of the the
Harvest Festival Committee Meeting this Thursday, which is being held as I
write this.
The next
monthly meeting of the Harvest Festival Committee will be on
Thursday, April 19, 2007. The meeting
will be at the Italian Cottage on the Skyway, at 7:00 a.m. All committee chairpersons must be present.
District Family Fun Day
The
District Family Fun Day will include a visit to the Western Pacific Railroad
Museum in Suisun City. The District has
asked for each club to donate to a raffle.
Tom Vanella will obtain a case of 4 pound cans at a reasonable
price. When it is, is still a
mystery. There still is no information
on the Fun Day on the District’s web page.
International Convention
In spite of
President Andy’s understandable disagreement with the mayor of Salt Lake City,
we must announce that the Rotary International Convention will be Sunday
06/17/07 09:00am - Wednesday 06/20/07 09:00pm in Salt Lake City. The Rotary convention, often compared to a
mini-United Nations conference, will attract Rotary club members from around
the world to the state-of-the-art Salt Palace Convention Center. Rotary
conventions held in the United States typically draw about 25,000 registrants.
International
Project
Norm Larson move that we grant the $1500 we have set aside
for our International Project to
Sr.
Marie Moran and Rosie Santian to use in their work in Columbia. The motion was seconded and passed.
Students of the Month and Interact
Roy Ellis introduced Melisa Charbonneau, President of the
Interact Club. She reported on its
activities. Monday and Wednesdays they
watch children at the elementary school while their parents are taking adult
classes. The have an Easter activity
planned. She reported that they have
approximately 40-45 members (maybe we need their help with our
membership).
Roy also announce that the $500+ raised at the Crab Feed for
the Interact Club’s help, will, at the Interact Club’s request, be used for a
scholarship in the Interact Club’s name.
Melisa then introduced Gina Gutierrez who was awarded our
Student of the Month award for January.
Gina then introduced Mary Grzanich who was awarded our
Student of the Month award for February.
Mary then introduced Melisa Charbonneau who was awarded our
Student of the Month award for March.
Melisa then introduced Sara Spafford who was awarded our
Student of the Month award for April.
RECOGNITIONS
Last week, when Kent Jackson became a Bell Ringer,
he demanded that the Bell be rung.
President Andy confessed that he had left the bell in his other car and
contributed $10 for not having the bell.
He promised to allow Kent to ring it this week. This week he offered the little bell he has
been using to protect the Club Bell from the larcenous nature of out
members. Kent refused and demanded the
real bell. President Andy finally
produced the Club Bell and Kent rang it.
Roy Ellis auctioned the Grinder for March. However, it was so late in March that it
elicited few bids. So it was extended to
cover April. Penny got it for $90, but
refused to comment on why she wanted it.
Anyone want to guess?
Chris Hatch, who missed some meetings with his
dogs, contributed $30 to make him a Bell Ringer.
Jane Ziad contributed $16 (so far) for a planned
trip to Ottawa in April.
Phil Price volunteered $25 for his trip to Las
Vegas last month, which President Andy missed, even though his missing a
meeting and the nature of the Rowel that week, should have given him a
clue. Phil also got to ring the Bell.
PROGRAM
See the report above on the Interact Club and the Student of the
Month awards. That was our program.
Must Be Present To Win
Drawing
The cage was misplaced last week, so there were two drawings this
week. Glenn Pulliam won for last week
and Jim Patterson won for this week.
