Announcements and Other Fun Stuff
Great American River Clean-up
The Great American River Clean-up service-day event scheduled for September 17th from 9:00 am to noon. We will be meeting at 8:45 at the Northgate entrance off of the Garden Highway. This is a tough section of the river and is an adult only event as the environment is not kid friendly. Participants are encouraged to wear good boots, gloves and appropriate pants and shirts. This is a great opportunity for our club members to get involved. The more volunteers we have the better. We will be crashing the Point West Rotary Club’s beer tasting event that will be in progress right after the clean-up. Interested members are encouraged to change their clothes prior to attending the beer tasting.

El Camino High School Poker Tournament
Joe Green let the club know that the El Camino High School is holding a fundraising poker tournament on Saturday, September 17th. Proceeds to defray the cost of the uniforms for the football team. Contact Joe for more information.
Blue Badge Presentation
Steve Turner called Emily Ballus to the front of the room to turn her Red Badge to Blue. New members are under probation and when the necessary steps have been taken to complete probation you get a blue badge letting the club know you are now officially a full-fledged member. One of the requirements towards a blue badge is being on a committee. Emily is on the Speech Committee again this year and we hope to actually have speeches this year. Emily has brought many things to the club and has been a great partner. We look forward to continuing the community connection through the Fulton-El Camino Park District. Emily was officially welcomed as a Blue Badge member with loud applause.
