Fellow Carmichael Rotarians,
 
We have been invited to partner with Arden Arcade Rotary Club on their grant project to build a wooden enclosure for Effie Yeaw's cute rescued tortoise next month (he's been living in a tub since they received him).  Jay and I have been meeting with the parties to help plan the project and Effie Yeaw is super excited for this new addition to their facility. 
 
The entire structure will only be 16 feet long and 7 feet deep, off the back of the deck of the Nature Center's main building.  Carmichael Rotarians have been asked to provide some hands-on help on two dates:
  • Sat, Oct 15 beginning approx 9 am:
    • work on assembling wood pieces for the enclosure at AA Rotarian Al Cady's house.  He is donating most of the wood (one of his passions is harvesting wood and building projects like this).  OR
    • work with AA Rotarians and a local Boy Scout troop (they are 12-14 year olds supervised by the AA Rotary President) to clear out existing vegetation in the enclosure area, dig a one-foot trenching along the front and two sides, dig 8 post holes, and place posts in concrete.  Most of the heavy work will be done by the Boy Scouts, but they may need a little assistance and guidance.
  • Sun, Oct 23 beginning approx 9 am:  Installation day at Effie Yeaw (see attached map).  We will be putting together all the parts and installing with AA Rotarians. 
More details will be available soon, but please let me know ASAP which activities you want to help with so we have a Carmichael Rotary head count to share with the committee.  Arden Arcade plans to give us equal signage on the enclosure, so let's show them what a great club we are to work with.
 
Thanks,
Vicky
Community Service Chair

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 by Greg Freeman, Branch Supervisor, Carmichael Library, subsidiary of the Sacramento Public Library
gregfreeman@saclibrary.org
 
Over the past eight years, nearly 500 books have been donated to the Carmichael Public Library. We show only the latest donated books with the names of the Guest Speakers.
