23 AND COUNTING

It’s been a good run so far but the new member prospects pipeline is getting a bit thin! Twenty three new and renewed members compliment our club to date this year. Let’s not stop there. All we ask of you is to sponsor just one new member…and it doesn’t cost you a dime! Identify that special prospect …invite them to a Monday lunch… a Happy Hour…a Fireside …a Presidents Breakfast…or whichever other Club venue tickles your fancy, then we’ll do the rest. MEMBERSHIP IS THE SUSTAINING LIFE BLOOD OF THE CLUB, allowing us to do the remarkable!

And remarkably, your Club/Foundation underwriting dollars are hard at work with the B Street Theater. Yours truly (thanks to Jim Leet) was privileged to introduce the cast of this week’s annual Children’s Receiving Home performance of “We Declare” (a retrospective of the signing of the Declaration of Independence) to a captive audience of deserving young people and faculty. What a talented theater company and we learned a lot about the history of this great country, creatively delivered!

Your District Conference (May 18, 19, & 20) being held at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno will be providing display booth opportunities to showcase all you do locally and worldwide through your Club. Even if you can’t attend, please consider offering your creative ideas and time for an RCS display exhibit for the conference @ ken.noack@grubb-ellis.com / 916-747-6442. After all, our Club represents 25% of our District (the big fish so to speak) and an impressive collage of project, programs and contributions to the planet… worthy of display!

Twenty one Past Presidents graced the meeting for Past Presidents Day including a Jeopardy game show style retrospective of each, hosted by your Past Emperor Wes Yee only to be followed by a taste of beer history and humor carrying the day from our guest speaker “Charlie the Beer Guy”. (Read all about it below in this week’s Pulse Meeting Recap)

Many thanks Bill Watson for underwriting the wine receptions for the month of February, to Bill Badham for sponsoring the meeting, to Jay Lowden becoming an Exploring Hiker contributing to his Paul Harris and Eddie, in recognition of his News 10 special highlighting the Sacramento YMCA programs, to President Elect Nominee (PEN) Thom Gilbert for contributing his Point West Club visitation “lottery” winnings to the RCS Foundation, to Hiker PP Fred Teichert for underwriting Kevin Smith-Fagan’s announcement of KVIE’s benefit “Downtown Abbey Champagne Tea”, to Hiker PP Henry Teichert in recognition of all past, current and future Club presidents, and a special thanks to Barbara Arnold for contributing her time and talent as instructor for the Crocker art classes for the visually impaired coming in March to benefit this year’s Bids For Kids recipient, Society for the Blind.

Enjoy a terrific week, sponsor a table for the event (Bids for Kids that is), through Leesa Fons at leesa@healthpointcalifornia.com or 916-797-0555.

See you on the 27th, as we are dark on the 20th (President’s Weekend).

Strive for your Summits!
