From the President

It is good to pause and give THANKS, as individuals, as families, as a Club, as a community and as a nation.  I give thanks that the members of the Rotary Club of Sacramento continue to step forward as leaders who exemplify "service above self" on a daily basis.  Many thanks to you all in this season of thanks-giving.

On to some news...as I shared at the meeting on Monday our new Executive Director Jan Gage has received a better employment offer and her last day with us will be Tuesday, November 30.  (Imagine, there are others who pay more than the Club does and with better benefits!)  I want to thank Jan for her short but impactful service to our Club and wish her blessings and happiness in her new position.

Stepping in for us will be Past District Governor Hal Shipley who begins Monday, November 29 as our Interim Executive Director.  Please welcome Interim ED Hal when you meet him in the coming weeks.  The Search Committee is at work to find our next Executive Director and I will keep you informed of their progress along the way.

Some more thanks...Thanks to Past-President John Frisch who even in the light of Cal's recent defeat rose to honor fellow Cal Bear Ludy.  I don't have my cheat-sheet with me to recall all of the Stanford Cardinal supporters who matched John's challenge, but thank you for your contributions to both Eddie Mulligan and Paul Harris.  There were others who lightened their wallets, too, but alas, I left those notes at home and I am writing this from the office. (I will give you public thanks next week.)

Finally, I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and I will see you Monday, November 29 at the DOUBLETREE Hotel. 

Don't forget, we are at the Doubletree this coming Monday!

President Scot
