Please note that this week's meeting has moved!
Rather than meeting at the National Hotel at 12:15pm, NC Rotarians
should work a shift in our Fair Booth at the
Nevada County Fairgrounds.
Speaking of shifts, please take a look at the latest version
of the Fair
Booth Schedule (I will update this as changes
are made). Overall, everyone has done a great job of stepping
up to volunteer. However if you don't see your name on the list,
it's not too late to sign-up. Please let me or Fair Booth Chair
Ben Barretta know ASAP (you might avoid
some future fines -- hint, hint).
Ben did a great job of answering questions at last week's Fair
Booth Picnic. Since not everyone attended, I wanted
to reiterate some of the bulletpoints...
-
Show up 15 minutes early
to your shift for instructions and a smooth transition.
-
First shift (10am - 4pm)
should make ice tea and lemonade. They should also cleanup
surfaces and what-not from the previous night.
-
Last shift (6pm - close)
must put money in the deposit bag for pickup by Burrows
Security at 11pm each night. Absolutely NO
money is to be left in the booth overnight. Treasurer Ellen
Davis will restock the change the next morning.
-
Portions of meat should be an even ladle-full.
Be careful not too over-do it, so that we have enough product
to last until late Sunday night (remember, we ran out
last year!).
-
If someone wants a small dollop
of coleslaw on the side of their pulled pork
sandwich, then give it to them. If they want more than that,
then charge them $1.50 for the side order.
-
Ask workers for their assignment preferences.
Cashiers must be adults who are good / quick at making
change. Watch out for fast buck artists who try the old $100
bill shuffle.
At the next regular meeting (August 17),
our program will be a "joke off" with Larry
Undercoffer. Since he is The Original King of Comedy,
I'm giving you plenty of notice to come up with your own jokes.
And yes, if you're "comically challenged" (Eric!),
you can simply read the jokes. But please keep them clean,
since there will be a couple of students coming to accept their
scholarships!
In Service Above Self... Prez David "Kidd" Kenitzer

Fair Booth: If you didn't read The Kidd's Korner
and you've been missing a lot of meetings, you'll
be surprised to know that we'll be working the BBQ Sandwich
Booth at the Nevada County Fair from
Wednesday until Sunday (August
9 - 13). Every NC Rotarian is encouraged to participate
in the club's first fundraiser of the Rotary year. Be sure to
look at the latest version of the Fair
Booth Schedule (this will be updated as changes
are made).
New Members Proposed: Jeff Pylman has
been proposed as a new member by Paul Boch. If
approved, Jeff's classification will be County Agriculture.
Cheryl Benso has been proposed as a new member
by Laurie Powell. If approved, Cheryl's classification
will be Banking. Please contact Membership Chair
Dave Denney or President Kidd
with any questions regarding these candidates for membership.
Lester Williams Benefit: On August 25, a
fundraiser is being organized to benefit Lester Williams,
a long-time merchant and resident of Nevada County. He is currently
undergoing a life-saving bone marrow transplant
at UC San Francisco. There will be a spaghetti dinner and silent
auction with all of the proceeds going towards his high co-pay
and living expenses during recovery in San Francisco. If you can
donate any items for the silent auction, please let President
Kidd know. Tickets to the event can be purchased from
Larry Undercoffer.
