AROUND THE CLUB:
Congrats to President Mary Tieman, who celebrated her birthday this week.
Thanks to Mark Rudolph for spending the last 23 years as a Rotarian in our club and many more thanks to Fred Bryant for your 25 years.
It was great to see our past club president, Bill Michael, (2011-12) who stopped by for a visit and lunch, even if he did move away to join the Kiwanis.
Our Satellite donated money to help build a pergola at the Rape Crisis Center, but they need more volunteers to finish so if you want to help contact Marty Padilla.
Start saving your Blood for the next Blood Drive in October, just in time for Halloween!
Keep up the good vibes for Satellite member, Jon Helm, as he continues to recover from his recent motorcycle accident.
Keep bringing your children’s books for Literacy month. Rachelle loves to have them!
Creative kudos to Sgt at Arms, Mark Ormerod, for coming up with a way to get more guests to attend the meetings. Next time it’s $10 to the person who brings a plumber.
Say Goodbye and Good Wishes to Rotarians: Marian Bolton, Bettye Rae Francis and David Foster. Marian and Betty Rae are both long-time members but have not participated in Rotary for several years, although they continued to keep up their membership. Bettye Rae was a founding member of our club and past club president. David has recently joined the Board of another non-profit organization and has decided to devote his full time to their initiatives. He was also a past member of our Del Norte Rotary Foundation Board.
