Both young ladies from Bear River High School did a great job
at the Speech Contest last week. Thanks to
Phil Ruble for once again leading this most
important competition for us. The winner will compete against
four other Area 4 contestants at the Nevada City Elk’s
Lodge next Tuesday, March 31st. You
should plan on arriving by 11:45 am to speed through the buffet
line so that the contest can begin promptly at 12:15 pm. Next
week's meeting is moved to that date, and we will not
have a regular meeting on April 2nd. If you don’t attend
the contest, please be sure and make-up the meeting by one of
the several options available.
March 31st is the close of the year for the Call for
Recognition for District Awards. One way you can help
is to register for District Conference before
March 31st – points are given for each registration by
that time. Our club is expected to be awarded the Presidential
Citation, which is really a Club Citation. It is based
on netting at least one new member, our work in the Avenues
of Service, and having a project to support reducing child mortality.
You can register on-line through the District Website, by mail,
or contact pP David Kenitzer or me to assist
you with your registration.
District Assembly is April 4th.
Although the deadline for registration has now passed, check
with PE Michael Colantuono to see if he can
arrange for you to attend. A good club turnout will help make
this next year a successful one. There is a reception scheduled
from 5 to 7:30 at the Grand Sierra Hotel, Reno, for those arriving
on Friday.
Each week more Radio Auction items pour in.
The latest count is 127 items with a value
of $23,151. Keep up the good work! Items must
be turned in by April 2nd to be included in
the Radio Auction Circular, and please follow
up on those donors that haven’t committed yet.
This week PE Michael Colantuono has arranged
for Craft Talks by George Foster
and Walt Stickel, always an interesting meeting
where we learn more about our fellow Rotarians. Time permitting,
we will also see a video prepared to promote the International
Conference in Birmingham, England. We will also be
voting on the proposed by-laws, so please be
sure to attend to make your vote count.
