Tour of the Sacramento Bee Facilities
THE SACRAMENTO BEE
It was a nice night, Tuesday, March 6th, 2018 and a goodly contingent of members and their guests showed up promptly at the entrance to the Sacramento Bee offices at 2100 "Q" Street - some 18 or so. We were met by Greg Saunders who is officially a "Loyalty Manager - West Region". McClachy established the Bee in 1857 and over the years they have earned 6 Pulitzer prizes. Their mascot "Scoopy the Bee" was invented by Disney 1943. We began on a fascinating tour of their main facilities there from top to bottom and saw where they write all the elements of the newspaper and put them together for the various regions (in the west and throughout the U.S.) to just about any city in our region - Fresno, Modesto, Grass Valley and on and on. It is a massive undertaking that goes on 24/7 and the printing of all their newspapers are right there in their headquarters and then shipped out all over with special editions for the many cities and localities.
I have below, photos of what the tour included; it took about 2 hours time. After the tour, we met at the "Old Spaghetti Factory" for dinner and fellowship. It was altogether, a very enjoyable evening. We must thank Karen Munsterman, Programs Director for wonderful outing.

Dictionary Project 2018
The gift of (what may be) a young student's 1st Book

On the February 27th Rotary Meeting, members came a little early to put our Club’s label and a book mark in 216 dictionaries which were then taken the next day, February 28th to Carmichael School (two third-grade classrooms), Deterding School (three third-grade classrooms), and Del Dayo School (three more third-grade classrooms) and given to approximately 210 students. Present were Bill Donnoe, Stan Rose, Dick Bauer, Greg Herrera, and David Thorman. These dictionaries are much appreciated and encourage literacy. Photos below:

District Conference - 2018
Book Donations, the Gifts that Keep on Giving - update, March 7, 2017
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
 
As of October, 2017, we have purchased over 120 titles in honor of our speakers! Because of the large number of books, we are not showing them all at this time.
