Michael's Mumbles

[Editor's Note: A "combination of business and pleasure" has President Michael missing the next three weeks of meetings.]

Last week, our May 6th meeting was moved to the Nevada City Elks Lodge for a noon lunch to welcome the inbound Group Study Exchange (GSE) team from India. They were an interesting group and a great program.

The annual District Conference is coming – Reno, May 21-23. This is a District 5190-wide, end-of-the-year celebration at the Grand Sierra Resort with golf, bowling, poker, and clay-shooting (I am not sure I trust our group with firearms!). You can register at the conference or on-line at www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?eventid=807265. Sponsorship opportunities are listed on the District website, too. The Club will provide a $50 subsidy if you attend for at least an over-night stay. Treasurer Ellen Davis has the details. Friday night’s dinner features sitting Rotary International President John Kenney. You can attend that dinner for $45 without registering for the conference if you and we can arrange a carpool to get you up there in back. Details are on the District website at the URL listed above. Come help us celebrate a successful Rotary year!

For the next two weeks, we’re back at the National Hotel for two interesting meetings to hear the candidates in contested County races on the June 2nd ballot. Today's meeting brings us Greg Diaz and Barry Pruett who are running for Clerk-Recorder, and May 20th brings us Sue Horne and Rolf Kleinhans who are vying for the Assessor’s post. These will be most interesting programs and will give you vital information to be an informed voter, so be there or be square!

The District Conference is the culmination of what 2,700 Rotarians in 53 clubs within our district can accomplish. And this Rotary year, we will all come together on May 21-23 at the Grand Sierra Resort 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.
