President Rodney's Message – We had a board meeting today. We approved a budget. We approved three new projects. The Youth Services programs of Interact, Rotary Youth Exchange, and REGL are all doing fabulously.
- Regarding the Mosquito Fire - We are providing a lunch on Thursday for some folks displaced. Plumas Bank will provide the meals and our club will handle the logistics.
- Bob Santin left something at the BBQ meeting. It was here for about 3 weeks so Bob had to spin for a fine to pay for the the storage of his lost growler.
Jeff Ambrosia – He reported out that Forest and Cindy are home and he was so impressed by their resiliency, optimism and acceptance for what they could not control. In the end, their situation is good and they and their friends are safely home. They are very thankful for all of the support they have received from all of you.
Kim McClintock – announced the 1 week stay at her home in South Lake Tahoe that is being auctioned off to raise funds for the BBQ. This auction is only within Rotary to keep it within friends and family.
Nancy Bender – A big wahoo for the BBQ. We’re ready and excited. Please turn in your BBQ ticket money and we are excited that we are not at the fairgrounds. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.
- BBQ Parking for volunteers is best in the dirt lot behind the little league field. As you enter to the parking lot, stay right and go around the field until you get to the lot. There will be signage to direct you.
Dan Gustavson – Our Rotary Christmas Party is Thursday December 8th – please mark your calendars.
Guest, Mary Prevatti wanted to share that she is with “Gold Country Cares” of which has served 17,000 meals to the Foresthill Evacuees all with volunteers and donations.
Brandee Ambrosia announced that our club is committed to three different projects that will require your enthusiasm and help to move forward. She will be reaching out to create committees soon, but in the meantime, she shared the concepts:
- Chinese Cemetery - eradicate the weeds and repair and rebuild the perimeter fencing. This is a beautification and preservation project with cultural significance.
- Ashley Park shade structure (ARD)- rebuild a dilapidated shade structure, paint some other existing structures and do some basic landscape trimming and clean-up.
- This Old House - Nick Willick will lead us back to this project concept where we will identify a senior or disabled resident who's home is in need of repair and clean-up.
Stay tuned for more information on these great projects!
