Dear Rotarians and Friends,
FEB. 11: CLUB MUSIC CONTEST It's always an inspriation to witness the quality of talent that high schoolers display as they compete for the privelege of ascending to Rotary competitions at the Area level (April 10) and District Confernce (May 14). As the only area club with a piano in their dining room, we usually receive top-notch performers. Hilary Hodge is coordinating.
ROTARY LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE 2, FEB. 13, 8:30-3:30, 433 Broad St. This is a wonderful overview of how Rotary works and why it is such an inspiring and effective movement in the community and the world. Each Rotarian is encouraged to partake in the Institute, which are only offerd a couple of times each year. This one is in OUR TOWN! Register on the District website. THE AUTHOR BEHIND "THE REVENANT" MOVIE INTERVIEWED IN PEOPLE, TO SPEAK TO CLUB FEB 18. Bruce Bradley is a talented writer, vintner, and artist, whose book, Hugh Glass, was used as background for the new movie, The Revenant. Bruce was interviewed recently by People magazine for its article on the movie. We have been able to arrange for Bruce to speak to the club on Feb. 18 about Hugh Glass, writing history, and informing a movie. NEW ROTARIAN TALKS, CLUB FOUNDATION, SERVICE PLANS are the focus of the meeting on Feb. 25. We'll get to know Karrie Barrett and Joe Bundy, be updated about the Club Foundation, and affirm the "Service Above Self" projects club members are undertaking.

Great hotel rates have been arranged with the Rotarian owner of Spa Buena Vista, on the ocean, for $50/night. Hotel Los Barriles will be about $75/night. See Dave Bunje for more info. LAST WEEKMICHAEL YOUNG AND HILARY HODGE shared about their vocation and the road they took to arrive in Nevada City in their current occupations. VISIONING RETREAT HELPS CHART THE COURSE Being realistic about our size of club and our ability to staff service projects and fundraisers, Visioning Retreat helped articulate the focus of the club, and also how to take it a step at a time. The brainstorming results are in the member section of the website; the President is coordinating the filling in of the lists of projects that are being undertaken and those that are desired but as yet unstaffed. The lists were emailed to members last week. All members are encouraged to contribute to these lists as we embrace the doable-and-exciting course for the next year.

One of Michael's career highlights was being assigned as a newpaper reprote to "The 9/11 Desk," especially since it took some digging to gain the full picture of how the terror attack was planned and executed. 
One of Hilary's highlights was getting married in Disneyland, in stages (read in "lands"), and celebrating wiht a rather large crowd on hand. Thank you Michael and Hilary for your talks!
