Rotary Club of the San Lorenzo Valley Weekly Meeting

• RYLA Campers, Miranda, Dylan, Paloma
• Paloma’s mother Michelle
• Jon Jankowicz, District Fisheries Biologist for California Fish & Wildlife

• Ken reminded the group that our members have committed to voluntarily donating $5 to the Bay Area Rotacare for each missed meeting; we are quite short of our target in this!
• Ken reviewed the Calendar of meetings for the coming 3 months, noting that I had to move out DG Ed Jellen’s visit to January 21 to avoid conflict with our visit from Partners In Service on October 22
• Sue appealed to the group for more egg dishes for the Pot Luck New Teachers Breakfast meeting next week
• Ken passed around the Second Harvest Barrel Wrap Sign-up sheet for 9/27, there are currently 4 on the sheet (just send an e-mail to me for this, no need to wait for the paper sheet to come around again)
• Mike pitched the upcoming Rotary Day at the A’s and he is also working the e-mail channel for this
• Mike announced places available for an upcoming trip to Ensenda with the BECA project, we are supporting this through our DDR funds, contact Mike
• Mike is wanting to shift the meeting to lunch-time, Ken will take this question to the Board on 9/3 to determine how to proceed with a vote
• The RYLA Campers stood up in front of the group and bravely went over their time at the Leadership Camp the previous week, good kids and future leaders for sure

• Ken stood in for Karen and stumped the group on 2 out of 3 questions!  He might ask those same questions again in the future.

• Jon Jankowicz, State Fish & Wildlife District Fisheries Biologist.  The current drought is having a severe effect on steelhead and salmon, already on the decline.  For example, adults and smolts are being stranded in the upper watershed, stunted growth, overcrowding, increased predation, … .

• Be sure to sign up for Second Harvest Barrel wrap
• Be sure to sign up for Rotary Day at the A’s
• Bring a pot luck dish next Tuesday for New Teacher Breakfast
