A big thank you to IPP Nancy Kemp and pP
David Kenitzer for their refresher course on The
Rotary Foundation (TRF) at last week’s meeting.
As we prepare to host the Foundation Dinner,
our having a clear understanding of what TRF is all about makes
us better prepared to get the most out of the program.
Several members will be recognized for their Paul Harris
contributions at the annual dinner. Although it is too late
for RI recognition in time for the dinner for those who achieve
a foundation contribution of $1,000, it is not too late for
acknowledgement at the dinner as long as either Foundation Dinner
Chair / IPP Nancy or Foundation Recording Secretary
Shirl Mendonca is made aware of the donation.
PDG Dr. Joe Serra, an orthopedic surgeon who
has dedicated his Rotary service to Polio, will be our guest
speaker. Let’s make Nevada City Rotary look good on November
6 with a huge turnout!
Some dates to mark on your calendars: DG Wyn Spiller
will be making her formal visit next week – please be
there! Club Service Director Cathy Wilcox-Barnes
has announced that the Christmas Party will
be held at the National Hotel on Thursday evening, December
4. Vocational Service Director Nicole Dillard
is seeking nominees for the Vocational Service Award
– give her a call for details and the recommendation form
(the deadline is the 23rd). The award will be presented on October
30. A family event has been changed from an Oktoberfest to a
possible family Christmas party. Santa will be contacted to
see if he can arrange a surprise visit. Members with small children
will be contacted to schedule an appropriate time.
Austin Farrar announced at the last meeting
a pilot program to collect old cell phones to raise funds for
yet an unidentified benefit. In most cases, you can remove the
memory chip to secure your privacy. Check your instruction book
or go online for help. Bring your phones to the next several
meetings and when we have a full box, Austin will ship them
off and report the results.
This week, join us for "Seven Hills Middle School Update"
to be presented by Joe Lomov. pP Terry
Boyer is the host.
