THE CARMICHAEL CLUB HAS FOUND A NEW MEETING LOCATION
We meet at the Stage 76 Kitchen and Bar at 7600 Fair Oaks Blvd., near the Manzanita split, located at the corner of Fair Oaks Blvd and Wayside Lane. For those who have been in the Club awhile, we used to meet at this restaurant when it was called the Capri.
Karen Munsterman is exploring if we can volunteer to help for the above event - more to be determined...
Now the "Happy Thoughts" started on a very sad note. Dick Bauer announced that BrianMoore (Past District Governor and consummate wine expert) has passed away suddenly of cancer - a great shock to all of us. Richard Plath BONGED THE GONG out of guilt that he hasn't attended Rotary meetings lately; Alan Gallaway GONGED THE BONG telling us that it was his 84th birthday and blabbed to all concerned that others were going to be 84 also and had birthdays in April. This caused Phil Danz to stand up and BONG THE GONG, likewise Tony Marques (both have turned 84) but WalterMalhoski BONGED THE GONG for his grandson Levi's first birthday and he got to walk with him down to a lake; StanRoe announced the great news that Jay Boatwright has been appointed to the Sacramento District Water Board and will be running for election to the Board in November (see story in the "Announcements" section);

THE DRAWING
None
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 by Greg Freeman, Branch Supervisor, Carmichael Library, subsidiary of the Sacramento Public Library.
gregfreeman@saclibrary.org
Over the past eight years, nearly 500 books have been donated to the Carmichael Public Library. We show only the latest donated books with the names of the Guest Speakers.
