Thanks to Jim Kirks for taking notes for me at this meeting. No President Glenn, I was not on

in Sacramento. President opened the meeting and lead
the flag salute. Jim Patterson then gave
the invocation. President
Glenn commended Dave Mulqueeney for a wonderful
Christmas Party. Dave thanked KR Robertson and Jim Kirks for their help with
the silent auction and musical entertainment. It was moved that the same

VISITING
ROTARIANS & GUESTS
There were
none tonight. Bill Apger
moved that Phil Price be assessed $1 per member for chasing away the visitors
by publishing that Jan. 6th would be a Club Assembly. Bill explained how this
met the Four Way Test. Andy Farrar and Ged Andrusaitus rose to disagree with Bill’s motion. Bill Apger agreed to table the motion until Phil is present as
this would be worth the price.
He had better table it,
permanently! I move that Bill be assessed
for illogic. Announcing the meeting was
a Club Assembly should attract visiting Rotarians, because they know that they
will get to leave early. They get a
makeup for only being there no more than an hour. Thanks Ged and Andy
for your support.
New Member Inducted
Bill Apger introduced and inducted Craig Hastain,
of Bearing, Belt and Chain Co., as a new member of Durham Rotary Club. Craig
grew up in Glenn and Butte Counties. He became interested in dancing as a kid.
He started Dancing Chico and presents dance events in Chico. Craig explained
that he has a strong desire to do service work and serve the community. Craig
explained after a review of the Rotary documents when a spouse comes with
membership. The classification on Craig’s badge is Dance Events. His
sponsor was Dar Meyer.

International and our Rotary District. International

club in the foreign country where we have an international project to oversee
expenditure of funds. There are five Rotary Clubs in Trujillo, Peru and Andy is

Camp Royal. Roy did complain that Camp Royal costs have gone up and that

inquiry from Chico Rotary about hosting a foreign exchange student. Please let
Roy know if you are interested in hosting an exchange student. Also, Roy
mentioned that a student from Chico or Durham could go to one of thirty foreign
countries as a Rotary International exchange student for a school year.
The involvement to club members is one of time. There is no cost to the Club.

of his regular poker games. However, Steve kept peeling off twenty dollar bills
and then left early. The guy who took Steve’s place at the poker table couldn't
quit winning. Then Ged invited Durham Rotarians to
tell Larry Bradley sexist jokes and enjoy Larry’s reaction. Ged finally figured
out that he had been married 23 years and contributed accordingly.

the Rotary International float taken at the 2009 Rose Parade. KR explained that he had followed Dar Meyer
