VISITING ROTARIANS & GUESTS

Later on in the meeting President Elect Daryl asked for introduction of visiting Rotarians and guests. Alberta Simic and George Brownridge were here from the Chico Club. George had his son, Michael, with him. Also, Al Lotspeich of the Chico Sunrise Club was visiting. He is a former member and Past President of the Durham Club.

Members also introduced their wives, friends and guests. While I am not going to list all of them it should be mentioned that Jen and Pam Liu had their two daughters with them. Cathy has recently graduated from med school and is doing her internship. Grace has recently graduated from college (I hope I got that right, I sometimes mix them up). He should be real proud of them.

At the end of the meeting, Norm Larson introduced his crew, who had cooked the carnitas. If I got the names right they were Rubin, Melena(?), Alex and Patricia. They were thanked for doing a good job again this year.

REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

HARVEST FESTIVAL

The next monthly meeting of the Harvest Festival Committee will be on Thursday, July 12, 2007. The meeting will be at the Italian Cottage on the Skyway, at 7:00 a.m. All committee chairpersons must be present.

Steve Greenwood emailed all members with the sponsorship list. Again he asks that you contact the sponsors you are responsible for and get them signed up. We have a deadline for printing the T-Shirts. PLEASE DO IT NOW!

THE NEXT MEETING

The next meeting will be back at the BCCC. Todd Kimmelshue will present Supervisor Jane Dolan.

Patrick Ranch Threshing Bee Parking

Bruce Norlie’s thanked all the members who helped with the parking. He singled out Bill Apger and asked him to demonstrate his technique. He has a future in the occupation. He is lucky because most of us lawyers have no talent for anything and are stuck practicing law forever.

SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS

Roy Ellis again introduced those of our Durham High School Scholarship winners for 2007 who attended the Carnitas Feed. They were Melissa Charbonneau who was awarded the $2,000 Interact Scholarship and Evan Diluca who was awarded a $2,000 Wayne Cook Scholarship. Also present were Elizabeth Howard, Jennifer Johnston, Kayla Hensley and Rachael King who each won a $1,000 scholarships.
