Visiting Guests
We had many guests visiting to hear the Colfax Choir... too many to list here.
 
Visiting Rotarians:
Nancy introduced Steve Bender from the Roseville Club
Sam Frazier introduced Lynne Tinel from Gold Country Rotary
Colfax Choir:  The Colfax Choir performed at our meeting and they were fantastic. Bart O'Brien organized this and introduced them.  He shared that the teacher/Maestro, Todd Wilkinson has been working with the choir for 33 years.  The choir has been coming to sing at our Rotary meeting during the holidays for about 20 years.  We passed a hat during their performance and collected $750 to be donated to their program.  Todd was blown away by the generosity.
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS
President Rod – introduced the Elks Lodge lunchtime staff and presented them with a Christmas Bonus and a “thank you” from all of us.

Patty Park – January 11 – Fireside Chat at the Stefani’s. 
 
John Donlevy – The BBQ financials are finally reconciled.  There was a total of $75,000 in revenue - $56,000 profit.  10% goes to administration, leaving $51,000 for the club’s use. The BBQ was budgeted to earn $50,000 so that’s awesome!  Thanks to all that helped!
 
John also mentioned that the 1st week of January a team will be going to Ensenada to check out Rancho Genesis.  Bill Johnson, Dennis Bennett, Peter Konrad and John Donlevy.
 
Steve Grundmeier and Jane Grundmeier announced that they are working on a trip with Africa Heart to Nairobi Kenya in March to build a couple of houses. There are spots for a few more people.  If you are interested please talk to them sooner than later.
Newest member of "The Jansen Society"
 
In light of the recent passing of Bill Jansen, Jeff Ambrosia shared information about  “The Jansen Society”.  He explained that in our Rotary club we have two big funds, Fund C and Fund D. Fund D was created to guarantee funding for community projects. The Jansens have contributed 10’s of thousands of dollars toward that fund since its inception.  In 2015 our club created the “Jansen Society” which recognizes our club’s Rotarians that designate Fund D in their will/trust. Jeff shared many members that are designated in this category of giving: Bill and Jenny Jansen, Richard Barber, The Grundmeiers, Bart O’Brien and Mike Medlin. (I’m sure this notetaker missed some).  Jeff then introduced the newest members of the Jansen Society:  The Ecklands, Benders and Ambrosias.
If you are interested in learning more about this giving opportunity, please contact Jeff at your convenience.
