This week, DG Wyn Spiller will make her official
visit and will be the speaker for our program. Prior to our
meeting, she will meet with the Board for a review of our program
and goals, provide some direction, and give us a status report
on District 5190 activities. ADG Pam Yazell
will also be present and will introduce DG Wyn. Let’s
show our support with an overwhelming attendance!
Joe Limov, Principal of Seven Hills Middle
School, gave us an update on the Nevada City School District
last week. Hosted by pP Terry Boyer, Joe pointed
out that although student enrollment is declining, district
students are meeting, and some cases exceeding, goals and established
standards. The district has won a number of awards, has a bicycle
recycle program, is involved in several community service volunteer
projects, and has its own foundation to fund art, technology,
music and curriculum.
Coming up on November 6 is the Foundation
Dinner. PDG Dr. Joe Serra, an orthopedic
surgeon, will be the Key Note Speaker. His topic is, "An
Update on Polio Eradication - The Crawlers of Malawi".
If you haven’t registered to attend, you may do so at
this week’s meeting or call IPP Nancy Kemp.
It is not too late to be recognized at the dinner for a Paul
Harris - just let Nancy or Shirl Mendoca
know that you have met the $1,000 requirement, but have not
yet been acknowledged by RI. Remember our luncheon meeting is
moved to 6 pm at the Miners Foundry for this Nevada City Rotary
Club hosted event.
Our pilot project to collect old cell phones
is underway, so bring your discarded phones to the next meeting.
Ask around, maybe you could bring in a whole bag full! Also,
keep in mind our February 2009 Area 4 Polio Plus
project to collect unwanted electronic equipment. Soon we will
have a storage space to start the collection. A full list of
equipment to collect is still not available, but we do know
that it includes curling irons and toaster ovens to computers
and televisions.
Next week, PDG Dave Denney will host PDG
Chuck Elizondo who will present, "Raising Dairy
Goats in Uganda". With the implementation of our 3-H Grant
under the expert management of pP Don Fultz,
this is a timely topic that you won’t want to miss!
If you have a nomination for the Vocational Service
Award, please submit it to Nicole Dillard
at Thursday's meeting; recommendation forms will be available.
