Gavel”…congratulations President Sally! Today’s Speaker: Today we had a club assembly. Each of our club leaders spoke briefly about our club’s activities and projects and encouraged our members to take part. We began with Linda Postenrieder, our Membership Chair. Linda encouraged all of our members to consider bringing more quests this year; look for new Chamber Members, or business folks in the area; we also that other clubs’ Rotarians will use our club for their make-ups.
In Community, our club has
helped funding
for Cinnabar Theater, had great success with Lend a Hand to Education,
developed programs for Seniors, most notably our singing at Sunrise
Senior Living, the Sharing Tree gift giving and Rotary Walks! All
opportunities for our members to contribute when they can. Sheila Bride spoke a bit about
our
Vocational Service. We have concluded several granted projects
including a micro loans program (there has also been a continuation of
this project helping children to gain small loans) and a project found
at the Festival of Brotherhood helping in the development of a dental
clinic. Of course, our major
international project
began last year with funding and which will be completed this year is
the Osukuru Adopt-a-Village project.
Please
visit our website to learn more about not only this project by about
all our club is involved in. http://petalumavalleyrotary.org We will, as a club, have two
fundraisers
this year: Oktoberfest and the Million Dollar Golf Tournament. Chris
Lombardi shared his enthusiasm for the Oktoberfest. He is chairing this
year and promises a lot to be new beginning with new art work by
Maureen Francis and a new Meeting
