Chancellor May is known as a highly engaged educational leader with a passion for helping others succeed. He believes success is best judged by how we enhance the lives of others. Throughout his career, he has championed diversity in both higher education and the workplace. He has successfully developed and led programs to attract, mentor and retain underrepresented women and ethnic minorities in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math. In 2015, President Obama honored him with the Presidential Award for Excellence in STEM Mentoring, and in February 2018 he was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering––one of the highest honors in the field––for his innovations in educational programs for underrepresented groups in engineering and his contributions to semiconductor manufacturing research. Gary May became UC Davis’ seventh chancellor in August 2017 after serving as dean of Georgia Tech’s College of Engineering, the largest and most diverse school of its kind in the nation. His vision is to lead UC Davis to new heights in academic excellence, diversity, public service and upward mobility for students from all backgrounds. Chancellor May earned his earned his master’s and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science at UC Berkeley, and has won numerous awards for his research in computer-aided manufacturing of integrated circuits. He traces his interest in engineering back to his childhood Lego and Erector sets, along with Star Trek and science fiction heroes like Iron Man. He lives in Davis with his wife, LeShelle, a computer engineer, and he continues to read from his collection of comic books––all 13,000 of them. |

Our Paint the Town committee needs your help! On Saturday, November 10 volunteers from our club will join 20-30 Club volunteers in preparing personal bags or "comfort cases" for foster youth in our community. What would you do as a volunteer? Volunteers will help assemble a backpack of items including a new pair of pajamas, small blanket, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, stuffed animal, journal, pens and pencils and a book. All these items have been shipped to a warehouse at the Pacific Neon Company. Volunteers will sit at long tables like assembly lines and each volunteer takes a backpack and moves down the line placing each of the essential items in the case. In the end, all the packed cases are put on a pallet, wrapped in the protective plastic wrap and later deliver to a local foster care organization. We are looking for 20 volunteers. If you are available and would like to help please register now! For more information contact: Ted Kappel, Jackie Kirkwood, and Art Brewer, Tri-chairs of “Paint the Town” One Day Community Services Projects

Announcing the revival of the Dive Bar Bus Trip
WHAT IS IT? Rotarians, spouses, family and friends board a bus that takes us around to 6 Dive Bars that you would never go in alone. These are Sacramento institutions, but just in a different category than Fairytale Town or the State Capital. In fact, one of the best is very close to the State Capital and without this trip, you would be deprived of the knowledge and experience of part of downtown that is not getting renovated. In business over 40 years and not ruined by renovation, Henry’s has a 4.7 rating on Yelp. You don’t need to have a cocktail at every stop as the group is fun loving and searches for the qualities at each stop that make it the top dive bar that the group selects. Extensive research of 15+ dive bar candidates has been conducted to take you to the best dive bars in this town. Thanks to Rotarian Kory Ley from Red Cross that did much research! When: Friday, March 22 at 2 pm to apx. 7:30pm. Where: Begins and ends at the Rite Aid Lot at Watt and Arden. Rides home will be supplied if necessary. Cost: $149. Includes drinks and light snacks. 100% goes to charity (The Salvation Army’s Job Training Program). ** Register: Through the Rotary office and on the website under Events or through the email that you received. John Frisch and Elfrena Foord, Co-Chairs – Drive Bar Bus Trip ** This is made possible due to the generosity of member Bill Allen who owns Amador Bus Lines and will supply the bus plus sponsors John and Maggie Frisch and Elfrena Foord and Bruce Hester who will pick up the drink and snacks cost. |
