TWO APRIL SUCCESSES...AND THEN SOME
Eighteen Club members participated with 37 other District 5180 Clubs (800 volunteers total) in a successful Rotary at Work Day clean up and redressing of the Campfire Girls compound at River Bend Park this past Saturday April 28th. Thanks to new members Tanya Kravchuk and Kellie Dockendorf for leading the charge with our Club. Many hands make work light and once again the power of Rotary got the job done in splendid fashion… and the numbers are in with over $10,000 raised for PolioPlus at Rotary Day at the River Cats two weeks ago.
Many grateful thanks to all of you who contributed with your physical labor, tools, voices, and financial assistance with yet two more successful annual Rotary District projects!
Ten US Rotarians have been honored at the first ever Rotary Day at the White House. Read all about it in your May 2012 District newsletter at www.rotary5180.net.
We recognize, this week, the generous financial gift of $25,000 by Wells Fargo Bank to your 28th annual Bids for Kids for the benefit of the Society for the Blind. Tables and tickets are going fast and furious as we close in on this annual fundraiser May 12th, 6 pm at the Sacramento Hyatt (special room rates for the evening are available). Contact event Chair, Leesa Fons at leesa@healthpointcalifornia.com or 916-797-0555 for all the details.
Welcome to the Club new members Kellie Dockendorf and Michael Sollazzo. We are delighted to have your enthusiasm amongst your Rotary family. (please enjoy their bio’s below in this The Pulse)
The membership welcomed the Active 20/30 Club of Sacramento for a visit by 10 of its members (including several sons of our members) for a few jabs and chuckles from their 1st Vice President, (that’s President Elect in our lingo) David Brandenburger. A good time was enjoyed by all (we would still like to enjoy the skit guys!).
The Club enjoyed a little different perspective of the NFL through the whistle of Head Official Pete Morelli as our speaker this week. Look for his uniform #135 on the tube or at the game this year. Read all about his remarks in the meeting recap below in this The Pulse. Thanks to Bob Rosenberg for arranging his visit.
Many thanks to Denny Elgin as meeting sponsor, to Mountaineer John Frisch in recognition of his Community Leadership Award, gracing the back cover of Senior Magazine with wife Maggie and grandmother in law Florence Lewis and a successful recruiting season of fellow brokers (including yours truly) with the fall of Grubb and Ellis, and to Couch Potato CSUS Dean Ed Inch for his ink in Goldman’s Business Journal column balancing the school budget ‘inch by inch”.
Enjoy a terrific week, strive for those summits, see you at the Hyatt!
