TODAY’S PROGRAM July 24, 2018: District Gov. Sandi Schwartz -“The State of District 2540”
By Dick Dannells
Pres. Scott Astrosky opened the meeting at 12:10 PM my first explaining that someone at P.E.T.S. (Pres. Elect Training Seminar) gave him a Speedo to wear at a regular meeting so he proceeded to wear it by placing it on his head.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Pres. Scott resumed the meeting at 12:37 PM by having the representative of the Los Osos Rotary Club announce their fundraiser September 9 that’s funded by buying raffle tickets at $2 each and 15 for $20. Pres. Scott had good news and bad news; the good news: the Summer Sizzle was a great success and the bad news: Mike Frederick is leaving the Club. Ashlea Boyer asked us to show up at 4:30 PM for the Dist. Gov. barbecue. She reminded us bring sweaters and our own chairs. Shelby Mclean, announced that there will be a vocational visit to the SLO Brewery on August 7. Pres. Scott was pleased to announce that Anya Stanley will be our new Sgt. of Arm. He had Jeff Smith, Jim Lewis as a sponsor and DG Sandi come forward to induct Jeff Smith as our newest member. Jeff is currently employed by Waste Connections.
INSPIRATION DOLLARS:
Pres. Scott had Michael Boyer pay 48 inspirational dollars (ID’s) to celebrate his 40th birthday. He had Cliff Nagler pay 60 ID’s his birthday and a phone infraction. Shelby Mclean’s all hospital business trip to Wisconsin did not result in any ID’s. Jim Lewis’ vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii resulted in 15 ID spin-the-wheel.
PROGRAM : District Gov. Sandi Schwartz -“The State of District 2540”
Past Pres. Jeff King introduced DG Sandi , who has been a member of the Rotary Club of Bakersfield East since 1994. She served as the club’s President in 2013-14. She began by thanking us for inviting her so soon after our Summer Sizzle fundraiser. She then called upon Jenny Dierek, Cale Kunkle and Karen Zappia to come forward to accept Paul Harris People of Action awards. She pointed out that her classification is home health and hospice and she recently retired after 48 years as an RN in that field. She ran a number of slides of herself including the quote that really represents what Rotary has done for her: “Rotary takes ordinary people and gives them extraordinary opportunities to do more with their lifes than they ever dreamed possible.” Her first most memorable experience after she joined the Rotary club of Bakersfield East was when her fellow Rotarians conducted a search for a missing person who committed suicide. She was pleased that Maria Doudy was in attendance as she has fond memories of Maria and Arnie during the immunization trip to India a number of years ago. Our District has 72 clubs with 3209 members, 20 fewer than last year. Our District is within Group 10, which experienced less than normal loss of members. Barry Rassin, of the Rotary Club of East Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas, is the current President of Rotary International. The biggest challenge for RI, which has 1.2 million members, is the Retention of those members. She then promoted attending the upcoming District Conference in Bakersfield on October 5-6, which guaranteed will be cool. ¶
THOUGHT FOR DAY BY Shelby Mclean
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. Stay hungry, stay stay foolish.”
