This is Radio Auction Week, and our Auction
Committee is hard at work finalizing the details of producing
this major fundraiser for Nevada City Rotary. It’s not
too late to submit those last minute auction items, although
it is too late to make the newspaper insert which was published
on Monday in The Union. We have some 230 items
valued at over $85,000! About 225 (nearly $36,000 in
value) of those items were obtained by club members. What a
great job this year! If all goes well, we will do well Saturday
when the auction takes place on KNCO from 10 am to 2
pm. If you can’t be there, be sure and listen
and heed the notion, "bid often, bid high" and ask
your friends to do the same. Don’t forget, our meeting
for the 16th is MOVED because of the auction,
so no lunch meeting this week.
Last week’s program was a lot of fun. The speakers were
Gary Wright and Lowell Robinson
from Foothill Theatre Company. Gary entertained
us with stories of his experience as a young actor just entering
the profession at the Ashland Shakespeare Festival. In a most
amusing way, he told us about his first job working with the
horses in one of the productions where he had to "prepare"
the animals to not leave messes on stage. He then, along with
FTC’s president Lowell Robinson, gave us an update on
shows and fundraisers currently running or planned for the near
future. Thanks Stacy Butler for arranging a
good belly laugh and encouragement that the theatre is on the
mend.
Our program for our meeting on the 23rd will be presented by
LCMD Theodore M. Robinson USNR-Retired. He
was near the PT 109 that was skippered by then Naval Lieutenant
John Kennedy, and a week later was involved in JFK’s rescue
from behind enemy lines. LCMD Ted was the first to talk to Kennedy
and his crew and later shared a hospital tent with him after
he was also injured. They became fast friends and JFK shared
some of his intimate thoughts and visions. You won’t want
to miss this exciting program arranged for by Shirl
Mendonca.

will join Rotarians around the globe in a visible hands-on project
to make our corner of the world a better place. Our project is to
help the City transform Penzance Park (at the corner

park. Contact Gary Gustafson for more details.
2009 District Conference: The District Conference is the culmination
of what the 2,700 Rotarians in 53 clubs within our district accomplish.
And this Rotary year, we will all come together on May 15-17
at the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino in Reno to
discuss, celebrate, and plan for the future! Early Bird registration
and details about the Conference are available at www.rotarydistrict5190.org/districtconferencehome.asp.
Club Visioning: Mark your calendars for Saturday,
May 9th from 9am to noon

this time, the District Visioning Team will lead us through a brainstorm
