Meeting Review 5/28

Program
Bob Dunstan introduced three speakers from Everyone
Matters Ministry:
 
Steve Linder – Executive Director and Founder
Nicolette Romi  – Program Director
Michael Harper – Outreach coordinator

 
The EMM ministry aspires to provide transitional housing, food, clothing and mentoring to individuals in need, particularly the homeless who may be temporarily homeless due to circumstances such as job loss. The focus is not on our chronically homeless, but on those who can get back on their feet within a 12-month timeframe. Steve Linder stated that “they are not a hand out program, but rather that they are a hand up program.”  What the ministry believes is that “If you boil it down to one person at a time, you can make a difference.” The EMM has an 87% success rate and in four years has helped 55 households get back on their feet.
 
The EMM is located in Rocklin CA. More can be learned through a perusal of their website at:

Trivia Question
 
This man, born in 1888 and known as Wa-Tho-Huk, translated as, “Bright Path,” has been celebrated as one of America’s greatest athletes. Who was this man? The correct answer of Jim Thorpe was offered. James Francis Thorpe was an American athlete and Olympic gold medalist. A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, Thorpe became the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States. He won the pentathlon in the 1912 Summer Olympics.

President Kahl briefly recognized Steve Galyardt as being the recipient of the 2019 McCann Award but he went on to speak about the 2019 recipient of the Auburn Recreation District Award, bestowed upon Bill and Jenny Jansen. The Jansen’s donation of $16,000 to the ARD for its youth assistance fund was acknowledged for its generosity and benevolence. All of these Rotarians will be recognized at the May 31,2019 State of Community Dinner.
 
Bill Jansen warmly accepted the praise shared and went on to say that in the future Auburn Rotary will annually contribute $2,000 to the ARD.
