VISITING ROTARIANS & GUESTS

 

Dan Daley introduced Dan Driscoll as his guest.

Chris Hatch introduced Stan Thompson, Assistant District Governor and Chico Club member.  Mike Crump introduced Rick Leland of the Chico Club,but overlooked Dave Mulqueeney’s guest, Chris Mulqueeney, so Dave introduced her and his guest speaker for the meeting, Lise Smith-Peters. 

 

Assistant District Governor, Stan Thompson, of the Chico Club, spoke about the District.  He noted that this is the end of his 2 years as an Assistant District Governor.  The new District Governor will be Pam Gray of the Paradise Club (if I heard it right).  The new District Governor wants the District to be more active in the northern part of the District.  Holding the conference at Butte College this year was a step in that direction, which will continue.  Stan thanked Durham Rotary for its participation in that conference.  He also noted the accomplishments of Durham Rotary, for such a small club.  Stan will be the District’s Foundation advisor next year.

 

Stan then put on his other hat and talked about the 75th anniversary of Camp Lassen, which will be celebrated at Camp Lassen on September 19, 2009.

 

NEXT MEETING

 

Next week’s meeting will be a Club Assembly at which President will review his year and President-Elect will talk about his plans for next year.

 

 

 

INDUCTION OF NEW MEMBER

 

Dan Davis conducted the induction of new member Dan Driscoll who was sponsored by new member Dan Davey.  It was the three “Dan” show.  Anyway, Dan is married to Dan’s cousin.  His classification is probably “Contracting-Control” but is still being considered.  Dan gave so much history about Dan that when it came time for Dan’s free time to talk about himself, there was little left for Dan to say.  Anyway, welcome to Durham Rotary Dan.

 

REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

 

Patrick Ranch Parking

 

Roy Ellis reported that in addition to his family, Craig Hastain,  Daryl Polk, Kent Jackson, President Glenn and Steve Greenwood helped with the parking along with Interact members.  He noted that Craig worked two shifts.  A large crowd was present at the event and the parking lot was full for a time on Saturday. 

 

District 5160 Conference

 

The annual District Conference will be held this year at Lake Tahoe on October 1st – 4th.   Assistant District Governor Stan Thompson encouraged members to attend.

 

District 5160 Installation Dinner

 

President Glenn reported that still no one had taken up the club’s offer to attend the District 5160 Awards and Installation Dinner at Rolling Hills Casino on July 11 at the Club expense. (See the district website for more information)  At the last Board meeting, the Board voted to pay for one Durham Rotary member and their significant other to attend.  If you would like to attend at the club’s expense, email President Glenn, at gpulliam@mail.chicousd.org . The first person to email is the winner. This is a great opportunity to meet other Rotarians and experience some good Rotary fun.  Assistant District Governor Stan Thompson also encouraged members to attend.

From Rotary International:

Honor dads and outgoing Rotary officers with a gift to The Rotary Foundation
Rotary International News -- 11 June 2009 

 

A tribute gift to The Rotary Foundation is the perfect way to honor fathers and Rotary officers this June.

 

Do you know an idealist? Someone committed to Service Above Self? Someone who believes that one person can change the world?

 

Give a gift in someone's name, and The Rotary Foundation will send a letter expressing gratitude to the person you've chosen to honor. Your generosity will support Rotarians who are making a difference around the world.

 

The amount of your gift will not be disclosed. You will receive a separate tax receipt for gifts above US$25.

 

Giving the gift of food, clean water, or medicine has never been easier. Use the online memorial and tribute gifts form to make a contribution. By giving to the Annual Programs Fund, you will help to fund Rotarian projects and scholarships.
