While I have been away on my trip to Africa
Jay Sedlak has taken the notes and provided pictures. I wish to acknowledge his efforts
♦ Doug and JaneHaaland will be away for a time to deal with some family issues. That being said, Doug will not be available for this years Crab Feed Chair and to be the President-Elect.
With that news we have 2 members step up. Vince Iosso will be the new President-elect. And Dick Bauer will chair this years crab feed. A big THANKS goes to them both!
♦ Rotary District 5180 Conference is Oct 25-27 at the Peppermill in Reno. Hotel deadline is 10/1 and conference is 10/15.
Are there any volunteers to work on the club display for the district conference?
President Vicky Boatwright made a point to thank Jim and JeffThompson for their hosting the family picnic last week. And for everyone who brought food to round out the meal.
And let's not forget those who helped with bringing the tables and chairs from storage--Rich Plath, his wife Debby and Chuck McBride.Rich along with Bill Baxter arranged for returning them. Not sure how our barbecue got there but it didn't get there by itself.
Guest attending were: TARA ABRAHAM, PARIS AHMADI, KARI BAUER, DEBBIE PLATH, TOM AND MARK THOMPSON, FRANK PEASE, MO BROWNING-McBRIDE,
MARGARET OLEBE AND SARAH STOLTZ - SO I GUESS YOU CAN SAY THAT THE EVENT WAS WELL ATTENDED!
President Vicky introduced Kent Kernthe Superintendent of the San Juan Unified School District. His presence goes along with our September Theme for September: Education and Literacy. She first wanted to say Thanks You to Mr. Kernfor taking the time from his busy schedule to speak tonight. There is a video he played--on youtube. The video was all about the new school year with the addition of a brand new elementary school, the Dyer-Kelley School, and other new changes in the District. The San Juan Unified School District is growing with 160 new teachers and is doing well!
Happy fines are now early. Chuck McBride was not available and Troy Drennon stepped up to collect our fines. And did a great job. As Follows:
Jay Boatwright rang the club bell; Stan Roe for his trip to Scotland; Greg Herrera for his wife Sarah who was a guest tonight; Dick Bauer bonged the gong for Polio PLus; Jay Sedlak for Vince and Dick stepping up to lead our Club; Walter Malhoski for his daughter getting married; Vince Iosso for being the new President-elect.

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.
