►BLOOD SOURCE: from District Governor Jack Arney....
For the past several years, you may know we have had a district level relationship with BloodSource (now Vitalant) and conducted many blood drives mostly at the club level.
Vitalant has given support to our district conference for several years including awards to clubs who have been leading in their support of blood donation.
This year Vitalant has stepped up their support of our district by making a significant donation to our One Day district conference to help us bring in great speakers and keep costs down while celebrating one of our community partners support of Rotary in our communities.
Please consider giving blood ASAP as they are critically low, especially O blood type. Below is the press release from them and attached is the info about our blood drive with them.
Be sure to mention your club name and Rotary when you give blood!
From Vitalant:
PLEASE SHARE and consider donating blood in the coming days. Blood supplies in communities across the country are critically low, down 47% compared to early December. We need your help to meet patients’ needs. Together, #WeAreVital! To schedule an appointment to give blood, go to vitalant.org or call 877-258- 4825. Walk-in donors are always welcome.

►Bruce Hansen , a teacher at Winston Churchill middle school came to our meeting to tell us about a his school which is the largest middle school in the San Juan District with 1000 kids. They provide an outing for the kids where 6th graders go to Lion Redwoods by Sebastopol for a week and get outdoors and go to the ocean. It is a great learning experience for low income kids and all kids – not just high achievers. Bruce is just letting us know in case Rotarians would like to support this worthwhile project.
►David Thormanhasreported that some of us have attended a planning meeting to travel to Africa next September and go on Safari and to visit our project in Uganda. Catherine Survillas, Rotarian and expert tour director has put together an exciting package for us. Going in a group would be cost effective and a lot of fun. Let David know if you are interested.

Doug Haaland has made a living as a consummate politician mostly running other people’s campaigns. He mentioned some of his humorous exploits during his career, such as his ability to mimic Arnold Schwartzenegger’s accent. He toured many different many places and became very knowledgeable about California’s water problems. He was at odds with radical environmentalists who would like to tear down the Hetch Hetchy dam (whose water flows down to San Francisco without a pump). It was a good life, he had a tour of Texas, Florida, Virginia and met the love of his life! Below is Doug (left) with his vocational boss, Vocational Chair Chuck McBride
POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR - Presentation by Vocational Chair, Chuck McBride
"Vocational Service is the cornerstone of Rotary membership and affords us an opportunity to recognize all useful occupations.
Tonight, we gather once again to recognize an occupation which impacts all of us either directly or indirectly. We are delighted to celebrate the selection of our 2018-19 Police Officer of the Year.
It takes a special individual to choose a career in Law Enforcement. Those who choose this career path make a real difference in our daily lives and need to possess a myriad of skills and traits; such as, effective communications and interpersonal skills; sound judgment / reasoning ability / problem solving; ability to work with persons of varying backgrounds, attitudes, opinions and beliefs; and honesty and integrity. It’s one of the few careers where the work is diverse, rewarding, challenging and at the same time dangerous---all wrapped into one.
I’d like to begin tonight’s program with a selective / brief history of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department.
It was 1850, the Gold Rush was in full swing and we needed to be protected. We elected Joseph McKinney as our first Sheriff. From the Get Go, Sheriff McKinney and his deputies were involved in a series of confrontations with some squatters around the City of Sacramento and McKinney was killed in one such confrontation in August of that year.
In the late 30s, Sheriff Don Cox formed the Sheriff’s Air Squadron. It was disbanded during World War II but reinstated in 1946. The Air Squadron currently has some 50 members charged with numerous tasks to assist the Sheriff’s Department.
In 1979, the Canine Unit was created. Currently, the Unit has 2 sergeants and 11 deputies each assigned their own K9 partner.The mission of the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department is the protection of life and property, the preservation of the public peace and the enforcement of the law in partnership with our communities. To accomplish their mission, they dedicate themselves to Service with Concern. Today, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is led by Sheriff Scott Jones. The budget is $255 million with 1,500+ Deputy Sheriffs protecting 2 million people covering 995 square miles. In its long history, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department has lost 21 Deputies in the line of duty. A sad statistic, indeed!! Tonight, it gives me great pleasure to announce that our 2018-19 Police Officer Honoree is Deputy Sheriff LaceyNelson. Lacey grew up in the Tahoe Park neighborhood of Sacramento, graduating from Hiram Johnson High School in 2002. She attended City College earning two AA degrees and went on to Sac State earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice. Using her own jargon, she “did time” with the Sacramento Police Department, then went onto the Sacramento County Probation Department but wanted more! She applied, was accepted and paid her own way through the Sheriff’s Academy. After graduation, she was hired and assigned to the Rio Consumnes Correctional Center in 2012. In January 2017, she rotated out -- to patrol, working out of the North Division and doing her best to keep Carmichael safe.
With Lacey tonight is her Immediate Supervisor Sgt. Shane Gregory,Josh DeJesus, Sheriff’s Department Records Office/Photographer and Deputy Tara Ferneau."
Then Chuck invited Sgt. Gregory to come forward and provide some additional information about our honoree."
Sgt Gregory said a few words attesting to Deputy Nelson's above and beyond dedication to her work, her positive attitude, enthusiasm and punctuality - He said that he believes that Lacey is very much qualified to be granted this award.
Deputy Nelson was given her award - "a nice plaque honoring her as "2018-19 Police Officer of the Year". She then took the podium and thanked the Rotary Club of Carmichael for honoring her. Lacey took questions and there were many - indicating the Club's interest in Lacey and this particular award.
Chuck informed Lacey that "in her honor" a book will donated to the Carmichael Library (Sacramento Public Library).

I am forwarding the message below that Paris posted in her Facebook page a few days ago since I am not sure if you saw it on Facebook. I will appreciate if you can forward this announcement to all of my Rotary Club friends. Also, I am attaching the marketing flyer that is being used by my publisher. If anybody is interested they can use the links below to order the book directly. If any of them wants me to get it for them from the publisher, I can get them as well and give them to you. Thanks
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.

SPEAKERS/BOOK DONATIONS TO THE CARMICHAEL LIBRARY
As of June 26, 2017, we have purchased nearly 160 titles in honor of our speakers! Because of the large number of books, we are not showing them all at this time.
