District Governor Ray Ward

Our beloved Assistant Governor, Desiree Wilson introduced our new District Governor Ray Ward, but first, on her way to introducing Ray, she thought it fitting to introduce Guest and Ray’s travel insurance person, Stacy Graham who will be the guiding light of Ray’s Rotary existence during his year. Stacy is a member of the Auburn Day Breakfast Club which is in another District. She is a Paul Harris +9, a Triple Crown Major Donor, plays in a band, is an Assistant Governor and if that is not enough, she runs an automotive repair shop. Her job is to keep Ray in line, and be, in effect, Ray’s big sister (rumor says he needs it).
Ray Ward, 5180 District Governor, is a super star, just look the video on the District’s website (It is great!) He is a Paul Harris +5, and has the Classification of Employee Benefits and is a member of the Fair Oaks Club.
Ray came to the podium and immediately announced his District’s Theme: “CONNECT & INSPIRE”.
 
He then dispensed of two pleasant duties of giving out two important Club Awards: “Soaring Rotarian” Award that went to Jay Sedlak and the “Quiet Rotarian” Award that went to your bulletin editor Phil Danz. Both awards were richly deserved (but then, I am a little biased).
Ray said that our Club should have a plan. It should do a “community assessment” to find out what your community think about your Club. Your Club has a product and so needs to “target” individuals who will benefit from your Club.
One suggestion is to make great events that people will want to attend and be welcoming, give the prospective member social time, introduce him/her around and bond together.
Be sure to promote Rotary to members and to target prospective members. One great project was the “Rise against Hunger” accomplished before the District Conference – each box of food goes to disadvantaged student (worth $75) and will feed a child for a whole year. The District is thinking to get a “Go Fund Me” account with proceeds to go to “Rise Against Hunger”.
District Governor Ray talked about continuing the Vitalant project giving blood. Blood donation saves 12,000 human lives a day and is one of the easiest ways people can make a positive impact on the world. If younger people don't start donating, we could run out.
Then he showed us a funny, professionally done lip sync video (it is on the District’s website) and is to “Don’t Worry, everything will be all right”.
You can join the lip sync contest and make a video for the District Conference and win! The District Conference is from October 25 -27, in Reno at the Peppermill – act now and get a significant discount.
To see Video, go to the District Website and look under "District Conference 2019"
As is traditional with our Club, D.G. Ray was given a SWELL cowboy hat. President Vicky took advantage of the opportunity to tell District Governor Ray about a book which will be donated in his honor to the Carmichael Library (Sacramento Public Library).

Tony Marques wins the Raffle

What a lucky guy!

Tony Marques had a good reason to smile today and he selected the Ace of Spades and won the raffle! I don't have a specific amount of what he won, but it was over $1000! He didn't even care about not getting the bottle of wine. Now the Raffle starts again and the rest of us will just have to "dream on".........
 
Scholarships are given to A.R. Students
CARMICHAEL ROTARY SCHOLARSHIPS

There were three $500.00 awards given from Vocational service. The students were selected by ARC staff because they would know best about each of our suggested requirements. Also, $1000.00 was given to establish an ongoing growth scholarship account In the name of Rotary Club of Carmichael. Distribution of said monies will come at a later time at our discretion. Thank you letters from recipients are below.

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.
