Our Music Contest last week at the Oddfellows Hall was, as
always, an entertaining event. We express our thanks to Mike
Colantuono for chairing this event and special thanks
go to our judges and timekeeper - Nicole Dillard,
Eleanor Kenitzer, David Kenitzer,
and Miriam Keene. Great job team!
Our contest winner, Marina Sanford, will go
on to the Area Contest this Sunday, March 16th
at 2:00 pm at the Holbrooke in Grass Valley. Let’s have
a good turnout to support Marina. By the way, Marina was our
area winner last year and came in 3rd at the District Music
Contest. Good luck Marina this year!
And a gentle reminder that we are still collecting books for
two drives – the first is our drive to support District
Governor Vic’s challenge to bring 5190 books
to the RI Convention. We have 42 books so far
and have pledged to bring 100 to our District Conference, so
if you have not yet brought a new or gently used children’s
book to our meeting yet, please bring one! The other book drive
is in support of our Rotaract Club, who will
donate books they collect to the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital
Foundation “Read Me A Story” program.
Two locations where they are accepting books are Citizens Bank
and The Union. This drive also is for new or gently used children’s
books.
And now, for the important reminder – this last year we
have given $14,500 in scholarships to 10 new
recipients and 6 returning recipients. The life stories of these
kids are touching and their need for a scholarship is always
great. We are fortunate to be able to help these deserving individuals.
The funds that we use for these scholarships are raised by our
Auction Proceeds, and this year our donations
gathered by club members are down 30% from
last year. What this means is that we will not have as much
money to distribute in the form of scholarships next year. You
all received an email on Tuesday with a list of donors from
last year who have not yet been contacted – if one of
these donors belongs to you, please make that call.
The cutoff for donations is today (March 13th) if you want your
donation listing to appear in the Circular
in the Union, but WE WILL TAKE DONATIONS AFTER THAT
DATE. Think of those kids, make the call, we can succeed
in keeping our scholarship funds high!
