Scott Young came to tell us about a chapter of the Carmichael HART (Homeless Assistance Resource Team) which was formed 3 years ago in Carmichael. They have no paid employees and are a 501-c-3 organization. They are all local people, specific to Carmichael and provide help for the homeless as follows:
Winter Sanctuary is a 9 weeks program to house 30 adult men and women in various local churches. They can spend the night, have breakfast and go on with their day. It is also a way to get to know homeless people and find out about their problems. HART works with other organizations that help – like Mercy Hospital and give clothing and toiletries to homeless people. In December through March, 114 people stayed in the shelters, 35% were females, 35% were 51 years old or older. HART has also been able to put 8 individuals into houses (usually they have had about a dozen every winter). It seems that the fastest growing demographic is senior citizens and second fastest is growing families.
Youth Committees help families and students who are living out of cars, motels, a friend’s home, and help transition them to a more stable environment. It is estimated that out of 40,000 students in the Sacramento area, that 3,600 are living in virtual homelessness. They are given toiletries and access to a local food closet. One program is to assign a volunteer to become a “student buddy” and have lunch with an “at risk” student, once a week to bond and get to know his or her needs.
Transitional House – housing program, where a house is bought, perhaps one that is just about to be bulldozed, and is fixed up and used to house people. One example is Charlotte House which houses four women, with a house leader and overseen by a professional case worker, hoping to help stabilize their lives and get them into a more sustainable live style. Now HART is working on a second transitional house for homeless men.
Scott said that homeless people mostly do not migrate from one place to another, but are local people with connections to their community who just get into desperate situations.
He also mentioned that many people have gone through abusive relationships in group homes and don’t see a good option to get off the streets.
HART has meetings every three weeks and you are welcome to attend and become part of the solution for this difficult problem in our community in Carmichael.
Acting President Greg Herrera stated that Carmichael HART is one program that we, as Rotarians, can get behind, and is appropriate since it involves our local community. President Greg ended with the good news that in honor of Scott’s informative presentation, we will donate a book to the Carmichael library (subsidiary of the Sacramento Public Library)
Acting President Greg Herrera and Guest Scott Young
Dictionary distribution on February 26th at Starr King School and Deterding School included Chairman Bill Donnoe, Vince Iosso, Rich Plath, and David Thorman. At these two school we provided over 190 dictionaries to Third Grade students from 7 classrooms.

We have 14 dictionaries left over. They are quality books....
Chuck McBride mentioned that some of us helped out last Saturday at the Rancho Cordova Rotary Crab Feed and thanked all who helped out; Stan Roe drove 10 hours to visit his son in Portland, Ore. and drove 10 hours back; Vince IossoBONGED THE GONG because the dictionary project was great and he felt guilty because he forgot about helping with the R.C. Crab Feed and Vicky had to call him and for penance, he had to work in the kitchen; Dick Bauer gave for some unknown reason; Troy Drennon happily came back from a trip to New Zealand where Edward Jones had a company get together; George Abraham just put in some $$ to get his name in the bulletin; JaySedlak put in $$ to remind everyone that if you wish to speak, you should “stand up”;

RAFFLE
SO again there was another raffle ticket winner, Vinne Iosso, but the process just goes along and Vinne selected the Jack of Clubs- he didn't seemed perturbed and got a bottle of wine. Ho Hum.
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.

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.

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….
