 President  David Thorman opened the 35th meeting" of the 2020-2021 Rotary Year on the 6th day of April, 2021 and the 46th "virtual meeting" overall ( will it ever end?) As is his custom, he rang the " Official Bell" (and virtually) to start the meeting. The "pledge" was performed by esteemed member George Abraham and he added the following "Thought for the Day"::

 
"If you must look back, do so forgivingly, If you
must look forward, do so prayerfully. However the
wisest thing you can do
is be present in the present..Gratefully"

ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
     ► Frank Pease receives Paul Harris Fellow.
Recently, the immediate past president, Vicky Boatwright and Foundation Chair,
Chuck McBride, with witness Walter Malhoski standing by (in his underwear), presented Frank Pease with two Paul Harris Fellows, one from 10 months ago and one from Vicky in her year. He is now PHF+1! Congratulations Frank.
 
 
   ►EASTER SEALS GOLF TOURNAMENT:  Jay Sedlak said that the Easter Seals Carmichael Golf Tournament is slated to be on June 11th, and we will have our “Golf Assembly Meeting” on June 8th, but Jay Sedlak says this might not happen because they have ruled out the shotgun - we will just have to wait and see.      
 
   ►CARMICHAEL PARK DISTRICT:  Anybody for Bocci Ball? Carmichael Park completed two Bocci Ball courts in their park and word has it, that the Carmichael Park staff is challenging the Carmichael Rotary Club to a match on the courts when it can be safely done (maybe we start practicing A.S.A.P.!)

So the month has changed from March to April, we have just had our Easter holiday with all the promise of spring and summer to come. We have a new Rotary monthly theme and a new Programs director for the quarter, Katha Danz. The program today brings back a charity which is very much in the hearts of Rotarians, "Rise Against Hunger". Katha introduced their Community Engagement Manager for Sacramento, and our Club’s good friend, Jim Quinney. She said that Jim has been married to his high school sweetheart, Amy, for 44 years and they have two girls, one in California and one in South Carolina. Jim retired from the insurance industry six years ago and since then has been involved with a variety of global and local outreach programs. He is a member of the St. Augustine Episcopal Church in Rocklin and a proud member of the Rotary Greater Sacramento Passport One Club.
Jim said how much he has appreciated our Club’s financial support of “Rise Against Hunger” and the “hands on” work we have done 2-3 times in packaging food packets at their warehouse. He mentioned that, though, they are known for their meals that they provide all around the world when crises strike and people are in immediate threat of starvation, their program is designed for much more than that. It is to stabilize food insecurity and then go beyond that with sustainability and even growing into the ability to sell food products to others. A recent example is a project in which "Rise Against Hunger" is involved - in the country of Mali, Africa.
 
Above and below shows slides about the project in Mali, a country which has been devastated by terror and civil war, political crisis and climate change. A large part of the effort there has been empowering women by education and land ownership.
So upper left shows the educational sessions and numbers of women and men involved in the hunger program in Mali.
(lower slide) shows what was accomplished and some testimonies of those helped.
So now Jim laid down a fun challenge for our Club, a competition with other Clubs testing how fast we can fill food packs, as we have done before, a Rotary quiz and a corn hole contest (testing skill). It is outlined in the slides below.

Donations as of 4-1-2021
 
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 Berta Boegel, 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 (nearing 300), I have noted only the last 16 or so. The prior tabulations of books donated have been archived and will be in the memory of the Carmichael Club in Club Runner.
