From The President

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  The Sorensen's had a wonderful Thanksgiving and indeed, there is much for which we are thankful.  I am thankful to be part of such a rich collection of friends which is the Rotary Club of Sacramento.  I am thankful for an incredible group of leaders that serve the Club as the Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees.  I am thankful for the wisdom and support that comes from the Past Presidents.  I am thankful for a dedicated staff who even with changes, continues to work hard to serve this Club and our community.

This past Monday there were more events for which to give thanks.   We were able to recognize many members for their contributions to either the Rotary Club of Sacramento Foundation (Eddie Mulligan) or  to The Rotary Foundation (Paul Harris).

Recognized for their contributions to the RCSF were John Phair 2nd, Ken Noack Jr. 2nd, Forrest Plant 3rd, Denny Evans 3rd, Wes Yee 3rd, Doug Youngdahl 4th, Hal Bartholomew 4th, Susan Sheridan 5th, and John Frisch 6th.  Recognized for their TRF contributions were Richard Slepian 3rd, Walter Dahl 4th, Elfrena Foord 4th, Mike Miklaus 6th and also Mike surprised his wife Cindy with her first Paul Harris.

Getting into the spirit of giving, Leesa Fons made a contribution in honor of one of her clients who marked 11 years with Leesa.  Pat Pathipati was feeling generous in the glow of his Wisconsin Badgers victory over Northwestern and a chair of the Big ten football title.

I want to remind you of some upcoming Rotary events:  

• The next Fireside will be on Wednesday, December 8, 6 pm at the home of Robyn Delong.
• President's Breakfast also on Wednesday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 AM at the Radisson.
• Daughters' Day on Monday, December 20.
• Ski Trip February 4-5, 2011

Have a great week, be a good Rotarian and I will see you on Monday.

President Scot
