The demotion skit starts with a conspiracy theory which is backed up by fact. David came back from Africa in 2019 and brought covid with him (covid didn’t start in China but in Africa). He knew that covid would cause everyone to stay home so he bought Zoom stock and VOLUNTEERED to be president because he knew there were four doctors in the Club who would take care of him. David had for years been causing the Club to hoard $25,000 in the Club. He gleefully became an expert at Zoom in Club meetings. Witness a man from the FBI (Vince Iosso) who produced an affidavit – a CDC letter. Then a certified financial planner (Troy Drennon) produces evidence that David had bought lots of Zoom stock. David even spread covid by insisting on meeting at the Smokey Oats Tavern, a known covid incubator. David appears in his “rich man’s” outfit with money bag and cigar and is examined by four medieval doctors (Richard Bauer, Stan Roe, Walter Malhoski, and Greg Herrera (Geronimo)). Also world famous lab tech (Phil Danz) who is a trained ocularist is there along with Nurse Cratchit, (Katha Danz). The doctors prescribe a covid test and the world famous lab tech holds up an enlarged cotton nasal swab and performs the test behind a modesty screen (sheet). Lots of activity with screams occur and world famous lab tech appears with a very bloody swab which he gives to nurse Cratchit and she disappears to test for covid and within a few minutes announces that David is positive for covid. The doctors ponder a cure and instruct nurse Cratchit to pour gin into a giant martini glass, then syringe it, one shot at a time into David’s mouth. The debate comes down to whether nurse Cratchit should administer two or three shots. David insists on three and suddenly is cured!
Now Vicky says that after all David was not such a bad president and recites his successes.
He kept the club engaged and attending Zoom meetings all year.
Almost every speaker showed up (97.5%)
The club is still in good financial shape.
He led the club to earn lots of awards this year.
We had a few in-person meetings – some in backyards and some inside toward the end of the year.

We had our 41st Carmichael Easter Seals Golf Tournament on June 25th, 2021
The Rotary Club of Carmichael accomplished their 41st Easter SealsClassic Golf Tournament.It was well attended with approximately 144 golfers following the "shotgun" format, Jay Sedlak headed up our Rotary support group and all went swimmingly, with a great lunch and dinner. There was remembrances of Jim Thompson in the Brochure (below) and his picture at the 1st hole (above). The tournament is one of the longest continuous private charity golf tournament in the Sacramento Valley and has earned over $1,200,000 over the years.
Remembering Jim Thompson…
“Jim Thompson has been an important part of Pacific Coast Building Products since 1963, originally as Legal Counsel, followed by Board Member and eventually Chairman of the Board. Jim was part of our family.
Jim’s commitment to helping others and serving the community inspired us to sponsor this tournament and begin a relationship with Easter Seals and the Rotary Club of Carmichael that’s lasted over 40 years.”
Dave Luccetti
President & CEO Pacific Coast Building Products, Inc.
“I met Jim and Pat Thompson at this tournament 27 years ago. After I joined Pacific Coast, Jim became a trusted mentor and friend. He was a brilliant attorney and businessman, and an even better person. I will miss him.”
Darren Morris
President Alcal Specialty Contracting, Inc.
“Jim Thompson served on the Easter Seals Board of Directors and was among the first to greet me when I was hired in 1995. He helped Easter Seals navigate through challenging times and his persistent, steady guidance was instrumental as the organization grew into a prominent disability service provider. His engaging wit, understated wisdom and calm demeanor are the distinctive characteristics that made him so very special. Jim’s love and devotion to his wife Pat and their family was ever present as he would detail their activities and accomplishments during our lunches together. We are indebted to Jim Thompson for his many contributions to our community and for enriching the lives of all who knew him.”
Gary Kasai
President & CEO Easter Seals Superior California
Jim joined Carmichael Rotary in 1957. He was a Past President and District Governor. Jim was everything a Rotarian could be and more. This tournament would not be what it is without Jim’s leadership and involvement. Carmichael Rotary will not be the same without him.
(Above) is info about the schedule and how Easter Seals benefits children, just above is all the generous sponsors to the tournament.
Below is a few of the 80 pictures which Stan Roe and Phil Danz took of the golfers. I just included those foursomes and others with our members in them.
Guess who they are....

Donations as of 6-15-2021
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 many 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.
rboegel@saclibrary.org
Due to the quantity of books donated as of 1-5-2021 (PASSING 300), I have noted only the last 20 or so. The prior tabulations of books donated have been archived and will be in the memory of the Carmichael Club in Club Runner.
