District Governor's Visit
Jul. 25, 2019
District Governor Kathy Flamson is the City Clerk for the City of Calistoga. However, her careers have been quite varied – from tax preparer/insurance agent to human resources recruiter to masseuse. Kathy joined the Rotary Club of Calistoga in 2003 and served as the President of that club in 2006-2007. She has served in many capacities for her club and for the District. Kathy was Youth Exchange Chairman for her club before she even became a member (however, she was a Rotary Ann!) She has served as Assistant District Governor, District Assembly Chairman, Awards Committees, District Conference Committees, Group Study Exchange Chairman and Rotaract Chairman. Kathy has been awarded several honors for her constant volunteerism – Lifetime Achievement Award and, just recently, the Spirit of Calistoga Award, both from the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce. These awards are extremely dear to her as they come from her peers. Kathy also earned the Cliff Dochterman Award for her service to Scouting and Rotary. Kathy spends as much time as possible with her family, including husband Jim, sons Tom and Dan and their beautiful families. She is blessed to have her mother and mother-in-law still active and vibrant at the young ages of 89 and 93. She has turned into one of ‘those dog people’, spoiling their mutt Sophie shamelessly. District 5130 is especially important to Kathy. Growing up in Mendocino County and living in Sonoma and Napa Counties have left their memories in Kathy’s heart. She also travels to Humboldt County often to visit family. During her Boy Scouting and Relay for Life ‘careers’, Kathy spent a lot of time in Lake County. She has recently enjoyed the beauty of Del Norte County while visiting it during her husband, Jim’s, District Governor visits in 2010-2011. Kathy knows what a magical place District 5130 is. She is looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and making new ones in the years to come. Her dream is for District 5130 to be as close knit as possible. |

Interact & Costa Rica
Aug. 01, 2019
Originally, the term “Interact” was Rotary’s contraction for a mission description “International Action.” For more than a year my club, the Interact Club of St. Isabella School had been planning to go beyond local community service and turn ourselves into an “international service club.” Last April, during our Easter break, fourteen Interactors traveled to Costa Rica to participate in a joint service project with the Interact Club of Lincoln School in San Jose, the capitol city. Our goal was to assist in the painting and restoration of an urban elementary school’s campus and outdoor play structures. We also raised funds to assist in purchasing new structures that couldn’t be fully restored. But most important, we made new friends and showed we cared about these wonderful little kids. We also formally established an international sister-club relationship that will endure for many years to come. This is our story. |

The Levi's Gran Fondo bike ride is Saturday October 5th. For many years we have helped at the Cazadero rest stop, approximately 30 miles into the long routes (102-117 mile loops). Just after the riders refuel there, they climb King's Ridge, about a 1500 ft elevation gain. Yikes! At the Cazadero stop, we make PB&J's, set out fruit, cookies, roasted potatoes, energy bars, candy, chips, and more. For about an hour, when the first riders stop in, it is pure chaos! So much adrenaline, excitement, energy. Something to see and be a part of, and so much fun! I am looking for 6-10 people who would like to help out. Send me an email if you are interested. If you would like to car pool, meet at the Hwy 101 and River Rd park and ride at 7:15am Saturday morning. If you are going to drive yourself out there, please let me know so that we don't wait around for you. We are done by noon. Yours in Rotary, Penny Millar |
