So for the third meeting of the Rotary year 2019-2020, we met at P.D.G. Jim Thompson’s estate in Carmichael. A beautiful, albeit a bit warm evening ensued. This was our annual joint meeting with the Sacramento Breakfast Club/East Sacramento Club. A whopping 35 members and guests attended. From Sac Breakfast were Sandi Sava, Daniella Calvitti, and Peggy Porter. Others are Katha Danz, Dana Newell, Mike Schedler, Sarah Schedler, Tara Abraham, and Kari Bauer. Also a special guest wasthere, Connor Haaland, grandsonof Doug and Jane.
Dr. Dick Bauer ventured forth with a "Thought for the Day":
"The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that's changing really quickly,
the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." - Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO
The highlight of the evening was that President Vicky (with Jim Thompsom’s help) inducted a new esteemed, quality member, Katha Danz. Katha’s husband is your bulletin editor, Phil Danz.
Katha has been a long time Rotarian with the Foothill-Highlands Club (20 years) and is a Past President who took on many positions over the years. She has, of late, become a Soroptimist, but now is back to Rotary (once aRotarian, always a Rotarian!). Welcome Katha!
Master Chef Jeff Thompson oversaw a staff who produced a wonderful dinner of steaks, chicken, French bread, salad, and great mini-cupcakes for dessert. Red and white wine was abundant. A big "thank you" goes to P.D.G Jim Thompson for the event. (photo’s below)

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.
