• Daughter Issy finishing her 4^th grade year was with her dad. He happily reported that Fluffy donuts opens early, much to his surprise, at 5:30 a.m. , thus helping encourage his young daughter to be at our Sunrise Rotary meeting on time!  Good bribe for younger Rotarians to be. 
• Brodie introduced Bonne Parker. 
• David Copp introduced Elizabeth Ndungu who was joining us from Kenya - via Zoom.

                                                                                                                                               

• Brodie interjected before Manny could say something, and Manny jumped to his duty to fine Brodie $5 for taking some of the time allotted to the Sergeant.  About to object and/or provide a rejoinder, Brodie thought it wiser to yield, ultimately.

• Announcement made that UCD was to open for the fall quarter, but with dorm restrictions: One person per bedroom.  Healthy, and a boon for all of the landlords in town, since now there won’t be any vacancies in Davis.  Presumably, there was a fine in the offering for each landlord in the room.  Honor system please. (No mention was made about the fine/unit, but we assume the fine/unit was to each landlord in the meeting and not for each unit owned by said landlords.)

• Who has gained 19 pounds or more?!  Send in the fine of $0.5 per pound.
• Rotary President’s Briefcase found after 2 years - was in the closet, buried.
• Rose wants a do over for presidency since she was deprived of the briefcase throughout her presidency.  (Apparently, the briefcase contents now resemble a time capsule with the copy of our by laws, etc.). 
• Carbahol also lamented that he too had served with this lockable artifact and without the President’s business cards.
• Tim was told he would be given the very specific magic medicine given presidents to help them ward off the virus, just as another President this year exclaimed he had.
• The excitement about Nascar was shared, until someone remined that Rotarian that oh that’s right, no one was there.  And another said he had a front row seat (in his living room).
• Anyone watch the race( ?!).  Presumably each earns a fine, along with Sergeant Manny who also watched the race from his front row seat.
• Bob Poppenga (if he could be found) earned his fine for being privileged to be part of how our Vet School grads reached their success. 
• Congrats to the successes of the organizers of this year’s “BBQ.”
• Marc Thomson fined for having the easiest assignment this year as the organizer of the Davis Senior High School (DSHS) Grad Night.

• Lori Raneri:  Volunteered to pay Marc’s fine.  She noted that this Friday all DSHS seniors getting caps and gowns with social distancing will be parading around town. Lori exhorted everyone to go out and cheer the graduates as they go by, and put up signs.
• Clay Brandow:  Daughter Choe got married.  Accepted a position with Kaiser as a M.D. sleep specialist, turning down other offers, including being an internist. Father Clay noted with his normal beaming smile that it’s been 10 years since she graduated from Chico, and 14 years since graduating from DSHS!   Clay made a generous donation to Rotary Foundation – probably more for the years of his daughter’s successes (than for each dollar of her annual starting salary).
• Vanessa Errecarte: 10 years ago Lois Wolk married Vanessa and Jay.  Her sign she shared for this anniversary: “Being my husband is the only gift you need.”  She noted they married when it suddenly rained!  She also noted that this anniversary will be memorable, but for different reasons:  Being sheltered in place while watching Sesame Street (presumably with a little future Rotarian we sometimes see in our meetings).
  • Pledged our club officer - that when we reopen in-person, PJ’s will still be allowed for members attending.
• Andrew:  Bought many, many face masks with filter inside each.  Free to anyone who contacts him, although he would hope that the gift would generate a donation to Yolo Food Bank.  Andrew then modeled a most fashionable face mask.
• Andrew:  Baby born 2 weeks ago. Seen despite this era of distance!
• Copp:  Update and gratitude about the grant to fund and create a water project in Africa. Potholes. “Marriage” with initial partner fell apart, but new “marriage” with different partner looking promising. Project being delayed, but the good side of the delay was finding a partner club with whom we could work much better.
• Brodie:  the Sip and Support fundraiser (25% of sales come back to club) is 25% full; there, this event is being opened to others. Sunrise members would have first priority if they want a ticket.  Although the interaction for this event would be virtual, Brodie emphasized that the featured wines were quite real. 
• Carolyn: This Thursday, 5-:30 -7 pm an event:  Celebrate Davis.  See the Venmo way of purchasing participation.  Carolyn thanked Meaghan for helping finalize the Venmo connection.
• Rick Stromberg: Last Tuesday played golf.  Fun to be out with Bobby Johnson and Paul Ochs.  Rick emphasized that although he had not hit a ball for a long, long time, he did not hurt anyone.  However, he lamented that he had lost a few balls as they went into the lakes. Nonetheless, Rick proclaimed that it was “Neat to be out!”
• Rose Cholewinski: Swim America helping with DSHS grad celebration, given that Swim America has a building along the 2^nd Street route of the graduates.  She encourages everyone to “Help us decorate!”  Rose also gave a shout out to all of those who helped celebrate the birthday of John Youmans with their drive-by’s.  Meant a lot!!

• TAFB was the site of training practice for carrier deck landings because of the tricky strong high winds in that area.  Ultimately, the Army claimed TAFB, and the Air Force then went to Livermore – same winds.  Nuclear lab there now.
• AT TAFB:  3 types of planes:  refueling plans, cargo planes, C-5 – largest in air force . 50% of those in USA there.
