Demotion of Dick Bauer

demotion of president dick bauer

So it came to pass that our beloved President Dick Bauer came to the end of his term and was demoted to the status of just a regular member. In one of his last official duties, he elicited his partner, Kari Bauer, to lead us in the pledge and asked for a volunteer for the “Thought for the Day”.  Walter Malhoski  looked at his phone and said a great thought (on the fly) and we went on to the general meeting.
GUESTS
 
1st Lady Kari Bauer and Lucy Jennings (5 year old daughter of Tyler)
 
President Bauer, after enforcing the reading of the “4 Way Test” , and a comedy spin off – went on to express and big thank you to those who helped him in his year and to outline this year’s successes.
President Bauer announced that our esteemed leader of the Uganda Water Project, Richard Olebe, will leave for Uganda on July 2nd to oversee the promulgation of the project. He introduced Richard who said that 1 and ½ years ago as a Rotarian newbie, he spoke of his dream to bring clean water to 10,000 people in his native region of Tororo. He said that Dick Bauer, who, along with the enthusiastic support of members of our Club, have brought the project to imminent fruition. He said “Thank you Dick". Without you, this would not have happened”.
President Dick thanked the Club members, and the new Foundation Board for the Ugandan Project. He mentioned that Richard Olebe became the District’s “Rookie of the Year” and PDG Jim Thompson was elected to the “Hall of Fame”.
He thanked Bulletin Editor and Public Image Chair Phil Danz for winning 1st place for “Public Image”, Bill Donnoe for the Dictionary Project; Phil Danz & George Abraham for the successful “Speech Contest” in which our winner Julia Luna went to place third at the District contest; he thanked Alan  Gallaway and Greg Herrera for their sense of humor – not necessarily for the quality of their jokes; and Rich Shipp and Jay Sedlak for the Golf Tournament and Pacific Coast Co. for the bulk of the donation to Easter Seals.
He mentioned the helpful and successful work projects for Effie Yeaw pulling thistles and planting trees and Jeff Thompson for the organizing of the "Naturefest" project. Rich Plath, Stan Rose and Jay Sedlak for the Christmas Baskets. Jeff Thompson again  and Karen Munsterman for their work on the Special Olympics. Greg Herrera (Chair), David Thorman,  Jay and Vicky Boatwright, and Chef Jeff Thompson for work at our Crab Feed.  Dick thanked Shama and Paris Chakroborty for the great Christmas party, Phil & Katha Danz and Mark and Carol Beil for spring and fall fellowship picnics, and those who attended the fireside chats and who became Rotary benefactors.
The Club thanked back President Dick for his great year of leadership with a standing ovation! He also got a past president's plaque and pin from Jay Sedlak.
Unfortunately, our new president for this next year, Greg Herrera, was not in attendance along with the “phantom donor” hmmmm – we hope we will not have a “phantom president”!!!
The Club will be “dark” next week, July 3rd for our national holiday and next meeting will be on Tuesday, July 10th – on with the new Rotary year!

Carmichael Family Picnic - June 19th, 2018
Rotary Picnic, Carmichael and Sacramento Breakfast Clubs

On Tuesday, June 19th, two days before the summer solstice, the Rotary Clubs of Carmichael and Sacramento Breakfast gathered in the spacious back yard of the Danz’s for their annual spring picnic.
Some 43 members and spouses enjoyed a wonderful meal of tri-tip, beans, salad, and dessert offered up by super chef Jeff Thompson and culinary workers Tony Marques, Stan Roe, and consummate bartender, Vinne Iosso who dealt out tasty margaritas. Others such as Jay Boatwright, Tim Marquess, and some from Sac Breakfast helped in the putting up and taking down tables, chairs, etc, so that Phil and Katha Danz were able to just enjoy the party. The evening was mild, in the 80s and although there was not the largest number of guests that came, it was satisfying to sit down and enjoy a leisurely dinner with good fellowship. I, for one, enjoyed Margaret Olebe enlightening our table about her experiences and knowledge of Africa. Below are some pictures of the event.
 
 
Fines/Happy Thoughts & Raffle

 

HAPPY FINES
 

 

N ow we weren't going to have "Happy Thoughts" on this last meeting of the 2017-2018 Rotary year, but all of a sudden people jumped up to give money and express themselves. Vinne Iosso wanted to tell everyone about his birthday on July 3rd (I don't know why); likewise Karen Munsterman has a birthday on July 4th; Ed Bunting's daughter has a birthday on July 1st and Ed generously "Bonged the Gong" for the Uganda project; ex-pres Dick Bauer announced he will be one of the "square" guys for next year (all he has to do is learn how to do it); Dick reciprocated by giving some of the "phantom donor's" wine to Ed; and generous Doug Haaland put in $ in celebration that Tyler's daughter Lucy attended her first Rotary meeting!

Book Donations, the Gifts that Keep on Giving - update, June 26, 2018
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 by Berta Boegel, Branch Supervisor, Carmichael Library, subsidiary of the Sacramento Public Library
rboegel@saclibrary.org

SPEAKERS/BOOK DONATIONS TO THE CARMICHAEL LIBRARY

 
 
As of June 26, 2017, we have purchased nearly 150 titles in honor of our speakers! Because of the large number of books, we are not showing them all at this time.
