From President Mike Dobbins
It was great to have our own District Governor, Doug McDonald, and our past co-president Karen at our November 21st meeting. He recognized Dan Halloran and Karen McDonald for receiving PH. Mike Heauser and Lori Jayne were unable to attend, but also achieved a new PH level. Congratulations to all!
Michael Green received the Quiet Rotarian Award! Well Done, Michael! Nicole Van Vacas Gagnon, who was unable to attend, was recognized as the Rotarian Making a Difference! Congratulations, Nicole!
As part of his year's projects, he auctioned off a Pinewood Derby Race Car initially to Barb Ross, but he has learned a few things as DG and extended it to the Rotarians at a buy-in of $25 each. We were able to raise $300 for Polio Plus for our District! Great job, folks!
Speaking of things—Rotary.
We still have no incoming President-Elect on board. Time to step-up as training begins in a few months.
REMEMBER - PLEASE DONATE YOUR HOLIDAY “WOW” POINTS TO THE ROTARY CLUB OF PENN VALLEY!! Just ask the HOLIDAY cashier to donate your WOW points (in increments of 1000 points) to the Penn Valley Rotary.
