CARMICHAEL ROTARY SOCIAL 
As in keeping with President Vicky's fun year, the Club had a "day off" from Rotary work and just had fun at a Social and Game night at Mark and Carol Beil's estate and Disk Golf Course. There, Master Chef Jeff Thompson and crew practically outdid themselves for a second week in a row with great food and beverages. 21 members and 9 guests showed up for the festivities. Some played golf - one highlight match was Mark who naturally is expert at his own course and natural athlete Ed Bunting. I am told that Ed practically got a "hole in one" with a shot that swept around a tree and gently settled into the hole. I am not sure who won - but it was a close game. I was fortunate to have my brother in law, Dennis Percy visiting from Qatar (middle-east) and he enjoyed the party. Other guests were Tom Thompson, Maxine Grybas, Dana Newell, Mo McBride, Tara Abraham, Nan Roe and, of course, our great host Carol Beil. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that their resident land tortoise, Yoda made quite a hit at the party! Pictures are below:

A big "thank you" goes out to hosts Mark and Carol Beil, sorry I have no photos of them at the event - they were too busy buzzing around!

Your bulletin 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:
  1. Missy McCall, who talked about “Human Trafficking”, book donated in her name: Under the Birch Tree: A Memoir of Discovering Connections and Finding a Home by Nancy Chadwick.
  2. Mark Urban, who talked about a trip to Ethiopia, book donated in his name: The Pharaoh’s Treasure: The Origin of Paper and the Rise of Western Civilization by John Gaudet.
  3. 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
  4. Doug Haaland, who talked about his trip to Israel, book donated in his name: Shaya: An Odyssey of Food, My Journey Back to Israel by Alon Shaya.
  5. and 6. Bill Baxter and Rich Plath, who talked about “Fly Fishing” – get this“On the Fly”: Hobo Literature and Songs 1879-1941 ed. By Iain Mcintyre. How appropriate….
 
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

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.
