"Thought for the Day" :
“Service became a way of life for me and I, like many others, adopted the guiding philosophy that ‘Service is the rent I pay for the space I occupy on this earth, and I want to be a good tenant of this earth.’”

LATE BREAKING NEWS FROM DISTRICT GOVERNOR DESIREE WILSON:
I just realized I never sent the link to the fundraising page for my End Polio Now bike ride in Tucson in November, in case any of your members are interested in supporting the eradication of polio in this way.
Five members of the Rotary Club of Carmichael served breakfast at the Carmichael Elementary "Meet & Greet" breakfast on Tuesday. August 3,2021. TonyMarques, David Thorman and Mark Urban cooked a lot of pancakes, and Bill Baxter served every one of the breakfasts. Jay Boatwright tried to help wherever needed.
We have adopted Carmichael Elementary and are happy to be able to work with them.
We have an opportunity to join with others to help with Effie Yeaw's Habitat Restoration native planting
project to dig holes, install cages, mulch and plant native plants on Saturday, Nov. 6.
Let Vicky Boatwright know if you're interested in volunteering.

District 5180 - Desiree Wilson
Our club welcomed D.G. Desiree Wilson with the warm feelings that you have for an old friend. She was a wonderful A.G. assigned to our Club inn recent years and we have many pleasant memories of her friendly support of our projects. She just came from our Carmichael Board meeting and was impressed with the important number of projects that we do.
We now have a new Rotary International President, Shekhar Mehta, of the Rotary Club of Calcutta-Mahanagar, West Bengel, India. RI's theme this year is "Serve to Change Lives". The goals for this year see below:
Desireesaid that our Club's should ask members to do things, get new and old members involved. She said that she had many good memories in her years of service to Rotary. For instance, Desiree had the opportunity to travel to India and participated in the immunization project for Polio+ . She got to put drops into the mouths of children there - a heart-warming experience. She also got to participate in a 100 mile ride to "End Polio" which raised $50,000 for Polio+. Do you know that there have been only two cases of polio so far this year - in Afghanistan - a record - we are very very close to polio's eradication. The bike race will occur next year again (November 20, 2022) and if you donate $100, it will be matched 100% by the District and 50% by Rotary International and then by the Melinda Gates Foundation on a 2-1 basis - this means that your $100 will equal $750. Desiree mentioned the new Polio+ monopoly game that's coming as a fund raiser for Polio+, and our Club has agreed to buy Marvin Gardens. It's going to be fun folks! Why don't you become a member of the Polio+ Society for $100.00 per year. Monopoly game and Ride to End Polio graphic and info below.
Desiree mentioned that our District Conference is at the Montblue Resort and Spa, South Lake Tahoe. We will hear from some very interesting speakers, Adrienne Bankert, formerly from KCRA, Channel 3, and "Good Morning America, Father Boyle of Homeboy Industries, and WadeNomura, P.D.G. for District 5240. Should be very inspiring. See picture below Right. Picture Left below: District Governor Desiree Wilson gave Phil Danz, the distinctive title of Superhero
for his hard work taking notes and the writing of an excellent bulletin.
Then came the most pleasant of duty for a District Governor - to induct a new member.
In this case, a special new member, Pres. Dick's wife Kari Bauer.
Kari Bauer is a graduate in Zoology from UC Berkeley and a retired registered critical care nurse at UC Davis, She is a fifth generation Californian and had 3 ancestors on the Mayflower. Kari is a longtime volunteer with the Effie Yeaw Nature Center and recently has been active in several groups concerned with global climate change and what can be done to protect the planet for future generations.. She enjoys many outdoor activities including birding, scuba diving and hiking; dabbling in the arts such as photography, watercolor painting and quilting; and spending time with family and her 7 year old Pomeranian, Taffy. She has been married for 54 years and has 2 children and four grandchildren. Welcome Kari.
President Dick thanked our A.G. Leigh Ann Reinero for helping Desiree with her presentation and presented her with a book on Carmichael and Wine. He also presented Desiree with a most beautiful and perfectly fitting Stetson hat. Picture below of Desiree and her new hat.

*CHANGE FOR CASH: Just a note that Chuck McBride brought in a "change jar" for people to put their spare change in - the Danz's brought their own change jar from home and contributed mightily to the cause - ALL FOR POLIO+.
Presenting the Happy Thoughtson this special day, it was decided to designate all offerings to go to help the victims of the recent Greenville fire. The monies will go into the Greenville Rotary Greenville "go fund me" account. Look at the following generosity:
Dick Bauer, $100; Bill Donnoe $100, David Thorman $100, Mark Urban $100, Frank Pease $250, Walter Malhoski $250, Chuck McBride $100, Bill Baxter $100, Jay Sedlak $100, Karen Munsterman $200, Richard Olebe $100, Jay & Vicky Boatwright $100, Heine & Ramouna Roikjer $100, Geronimo $100, Phil & Katha Danz $100, and from far away (via Zoom) Vince Iosso $100.
So the total was a whopping $2,000. This was very poignant for Karen Munsterman because she grew up in Greenville and her family home was there. This action of our Club will help a lot and is indicative of the quality and generosity of our membership.

DRAWING
Sowe had another drawing today. Karen Munsterman was the appropriate one lucky enough to have the winning ticket but did not draw the Ace of Spades. So, she got the consolation prize of a bottle of wine,
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 byBertaBoegel, Branch Supervisor, Carmichael Library, subsidiary of the Sacramento Public Library.
rboegel@saclibrary.org
Due to the quantity of books donated as of 1-5-2021 (PASSING 300), I have noted only the last 20 or so. The prior tabulations of books donated have been archived and will be in the memory of the Carmichael Club in Club Runner.
