Notes From Last Meeting
Always the professional, always organized: pP Nancy Kemp! It was Nancy's turn to lead our meeting last week and guess what? She didn't loose the bell! Nancy shared with us that her sponsor was Harvey Deimer and Kim Stewart was president for her 2004 induction. One story she told was that at her first meeting as a guest she was standing in the food line and witnessed pP John Hensley playing with Jack Dinwiddie's hair. What was up with that? Anyway, Nancy concluded that Rotary wasn't a stuffy Old Man's club as she had imagined, but filled with all kinds of fun people. She was hooked from that day on, became the auction data entry person forever, chairman of just about every event, and became president in 2007. Her stories were plentiful including the one about Japanese food and mayonnaise (ask her about that one!). Keep on truckin' Nancy, you are appreciated!
Last week's meeting started off with the induction of two new members: Janis Aydelott and former 49er member Gil Dominguez conducted by PE Dennis Geare. Janis, wife of member Bob Aydelott, was sponsored by pP Ellen Davis. Her classification is Job Coach/Career Councilor. Gil's classification is Television Production and was sponsored by Kim Stewart. Their Craft Talks will be scheduled soon so that we can get to know them a little bit better. Congratulations to these two newest members of RI and the Nevada City Club!
Another highlight of the program was the presentation of the 2012 Vocational Award to Austin Farrar by Vocational Chair Jim Phillips. Done by phone since he is in Virginia caring for his mother, Austin was acknowledged for using his skills as a caterer to the benefit of Rotary and more specifically the Nevada City Club. His talents have been apparent at fund raising and social events including auctions, off site lunch meetings, demotions, Foundation Dinners and Rotary at Work Days. Congratulation, Austin, as you join a host of other distinguished recipients of the Vocational Award by demonstrating service above self through your classification to benefit Rotary.
Guests this week were Linda, wife of new member Gil Dominguez, and Marianne Cartan, member of the the Rotary Club of Grass Valley. PE Dennis won the raffle, but not the card match.
Announcements
PE Dennis shared that he spent his birthday recuperating from PETS although he did go to work, attending a Rotary board meeting and celebrating with a turkey sandwich. Let's party next year, Dennis!
Paul Boch is back from traveling to New Zealand and Fiji. From the way he spoke, sounds like next time he goes down under he may only buy one way tickets. Welcome home Paul.
In other announcements, pP Nancy Kemp and Gary Gustafson interviewed RYLA applicants and were impressed by the talents of these young people. Students selected will be announced soon and invited to share their experiences at a club meeting. A report will be given today on the Noel Carter Trail hike held on the 23rd. Participants "took a hike" to determine where the dedication ceremony scheduled for May 11 should take place and how it should be conducted. Other items announced are listed below for members to take note.
This Friday our club joins with the PV club at Off Broadstreet in NC for a performance of "Journey to the West". Everyone is welcome.

Tickler:
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
