From the President

The Rotary Club of Sacramento functions through the dedication and service of so many, many people.  The longer I am privileged to serve as your President the more I am able to see all of the ways that people give so generously of their time, skills, expertise and financial contributions.

Though I know I do not say "Thank you" often enough, I want to take a little time today to say thanks.  Thank you to Patti Monczewski, Anne Ferguson and Luann Richardson and all of the Wine Dinner Committee.  We had a wonderful time around great wine and superb food. Thanks to Leonard Simpson and the Fireside committee for the Fireside dinner coming Wednesday, Nov. 10th and to Barry Goldberg for hosting.  Thanks to Gretchen Eischen and Rita Gibson who host the monthly President's Breakfast.  Thanks to Susan Sheridan who has updated the Employee Handbook for the Rotary Office.

I also want to recognize those who made monetary contributions this past week: Steve Ruland who honored the 100th anniversary of his father's birth and his 40th wedding anniversary with contributions to both his next Paul Harris and Eddie Mulligan.  John Swentowsky who was happy the torture of being a Giants fan has ended with the celebration of a 2010 World Series victory with a contribution to his next Eddie Mulligan.  Judy Kjelstrom and Paul Bystrowski were both happy about the Giants victory with contribution to Eddie Mulligan and Polio Plus respectively.  Finally, Jack London was proud of his beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers even though they had a lackluster win over Iowa State.  

There are certainly more deserving thanks...those who help set-up and tear down the room every week for our meetings...those who play piano,  those who donate wine, those who sit at the welcome table and greet...for all you do...THANKS!

Have a great week and I will see you next Monday!

President Scot
