Announcements:
  • Sunshine Report: Lewie Donhost presented the February birthdays and Anniversaries.  Guess what that means? CAKE! Congratulations to those celebrating.
  • Carmichael Crab Feed. Remember Feb. 24, 2024.  Thank yous to those who have volunteered to help.  MORE volunteers are needed.  Please sign up!
  • Dick reminded us of Super Bowl Sunday and March Madness, but his favorite sport season is Tax Season.
  • Please get your cake donation information for the Crab Feed to Phil Danz asap! Need details – type of cake and $ Value.
Speaker Denise Jones shared with us the history and geology of the smallest mountain range in the world – The Sutter Buttes.  It qualifies for this title because the highest peak is only 2,122 feet.  It is privately owned by 7 families; the State Park system owns 17 acres. Tours are only available by private reservation with a qualified guide. This range is protected by Sutter Land Trust and Middle Mountain Interpretive Hikes Organization. East Sacramento Rotarians have the privilege of a private hike, led by Denise Jones on February 17.  All must sign up in advance, contact Amy Ruggles. Hikes are rated from 1 boot to 6 boot in difficulty. This will be a 2-3 boot hike. We are planning to conclude our tour with a trip to a brewery for those who wish to celebrate their completion of an amazing hike!
Happy Dollars
