My first meeting as president is finally behind me. For those
of you who missed the meeting (shame, shame) as well
as for anyone who couldn’t understand the 600 words per
minute coming out of my mouth, here is a quick recap…
We were visited by several Rotary muck-a-mucks,
including the District Governor Nominee, Area 4 Assistant Governor,
and all of the Area 4 President (except Rick Nolle).
Carolyn Inglis (look I spelled it right)
became our newest Paul Harris Fellow. Two more
students were presented with scholarship checks.
Past President Fultzee was surprisingly quiet.
Sadly, Steve Fjeldsted is moving to Pasadena.
Larry Undercoffer always tells great jokes,
while Eric Trygg is "comically challenged".
And Eleanor Kenitzer sometimes repeats herself
from week-to-week and talks and talk and talks and…
RI President Bill Boyd (from New Zealand)
asks all of us to Lead the Way. I say that
you can only do that if you Follow Your Passion.
And to help us all become more “passionate” Rotarians,
my goals for the Club are to:
Most importantly, the meeting concluded without any catastrophes
or monumental foul-ups (other than forgetting to introduce
PE Nancy Kemp during my presentation and running
5 mins over schedule). And I even adjourned the meeting
by ringing the bell (we’ll see how often that occurs
this year).
Speaking of potential bell theft... in this day-and-age, I do
not believe in punishing by levying hefty fines. Today, I'll establish
some new guidelines for monetary provisioning
of impromptu announcements, long-winded messages, bell theft ( stolen
from President Charlie Litton of the Nevada County South Club),
and other silliness. I want to assure all of you that I believe
in positive reinforcement.
In Service Above Self,
David "Kidd" Kenitzer

Baby Stewart: Dear Friends: The past two weeks as you know
have been more than eventful. But good always comes out of challenging
times. And one of the many good things is knowing your friends
are there for you. I have felt your prayers and good vibes. Mike
and I truly appreciate everything you've done. Flowers, cards,
phone calls and messages. We were especially touched by the card
signed by everyone in the club. It took me several minutes to
read all the names and messages through my tears. Colin is adjusting
well to Branden being in the house now. He is helpful at retrieving
diapers and holding a bottle to Branden's mouth. Although sometimes
he gets distracted by a toy or book and lets the bottle flop out
of Branden's mouth. Branden clearly tells him he doesn't like
that. Branden is sleeping well so far (yaaaa, we got a sleeper!)
He sleeps at four-hour intervals and has a very healthy appetite.
I look forward to seeing you all and introducing baby Branden
to you at the Fair Booth picnic on August 3rd. Love to all, Kim,
Mike, Colin & Branden
