We were very fortunate to have a special tour of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Air Operations Bureau which physically contains and maintains helicopters in a hanger at the old Mather Air Force base in Mather, CA. We met at 6 pm and during the imbibing of sandwiches and soft drinks, saw some videos of catching criminals by following them from the helicopter working with officers and sometimes their K-9 (dogs) on the ground. It was exciting stuff and we saw the great improvement in visual acuity as the department improved their software. We saw various items which can be used for crowd control and an armored vehicle, but most impressive were the Helicopters, two old Huey UH-1H which were acquired through army surplus, and new Star Units EC 120 Helicopters.
The pilots maintain routine patrols, are responsible for homeland defense patrol, working with the Sheriff's department apprehending criminal suspects and missing or lost persons, children etc.
Our main lecturer was Officer Duncan Brown, and aided by Officers Mike Putnam and Matt Burton. We got to go outside and watch a helicopter take off as it went on patrol. We had a good turnout of members, nearly 20 of us with some "friends and former members" and Stan Roe's grandson Lucas. A thank you to our Programs Chairman Ed Bunting for using his connections to allow us to go on this interesting outing. Pics below:

Yourbulletin editor just couldn’t help bringing to your notice the relevance of the last six “Book Donations” by Branch Supervisor, Berta Boegel given “in honor of” our recent keynote speakers to the Carmichael Library (Sacramento Public Library) at our Club meetings. Note that Berta has fined tuned the speakers topic to the subject of the book! They are below:
Missy McCall, who talked about “Human Trafficking”, book donated in her name: Under theBirch Tree: A Memoir of Discovering Connections and Finding a Home by Nancy Chadwick.
Mark Urban, who talked about a trip to Ethiopia, book donated in his name: The Pharaoh’sTreasure: The Origin of Paper and the Rise of Western Civilization by John Gaudet.
Dr. Beverly Wesner-Hoen, who talked about being a part of Rotary Fellowship, book donated Why To Kill a Mockingbird Matters: What Harper Lee’s Book and Iconic American Film Mean to Us Today by Tom Santopietro
Doug Haaland, who talked about his trip to Israel, book donated in his name: Shaya: An Odysseyof Food, My Journey Back to Israel by Alon Shaya.
and 6. Bill Baxter and Rich Plath, who talked about “Fly Fishing” – get this – “On the Fly”: HoboLiterature and Songs 1879-1941 ed. By Iain Mcintyre. How appropriate….
During the incumbency of President David Thorman,(2013-14) it was decided that instead of giving a particular gift, ie coffee mug, pen etc. to honor our guest speaker each week, we would simply donate a book to the Carmichael Library. So below are some of the books that we have donated in honor of recent speakers.
It is the "gift that keeps of giving" because those who will check out these books from the library will derive many hours of pleasure for years to come, and it enhances learning and literacy. The books are chosen byBertaBoegel, Branch Supervisor, Carmichael Library, subsidiary of the Sacramento Public Library.
