In order not to leave a blank, we’ll have ballots ready this week so that the Club can finally name this column! I may be bell-less, but I don’t want to be nameless, too!
It’s always a privilege to have a young person at our meeting in order to receive a scholarship. Heidi Van Der Wende, a recent Nevada Union High School grad and an incoming freshman at Brigham Young University - Hawaii, was introduced and given her check. Thanks to Treasurer and pP Ellen Davis and all the other members of the Scholarship Committee for their time and efforts in choosing such great recipients!
Secretary and pP David Kenitzer presented our program on Facebook 101, teaching us the whens, whats, wheres and hows so that we can access and use our Club Facebook page. I thought I might be the only one who needed the help, but there were so many questions that David didn’t really have enough time to finish his presentation! We may need a Facebook 102...
The Children's Festival was a great success last Friday. Thanks to those of you who volunteered to setup, staff craft booths, and clean-up. If my grandson Aedan's reaction was any indication, the children had a blast!
John Hazelwood is hoping to have all sign-ups and money in this week for the River Cats game on August 1st. Our club will subsidize the bus transportation, with extra seats going to members of other clubs in order to fill it up (the more, the merrier!). So if you want to go, tell John immediately! The River Cats game is a family outing and is always lots of fun. It's also a time to visit with Rotarians within our club, within our District, and even with those in District 5180 (Sacramento area). But if you need another excuse, proceeds benefit Polio Plus.
Have you saved some time during the week of August 11-15 in order to work in our Fair Booth? The Fair Booth is one of the two events of the club where every member is expected to participate -- or pay a hefty fine! During these five days, we will be cooking, preparing, and selling pulled pork and BBQ beef sandwiches. Please sign-up for at least one shift. We’ll have sign-ups at the meetings, so get there first so that you can get the slots that you want!
Are we having fun yet???
