Membership Moment
by Membership Co-Chair Bob Kline
Here’s a membership thought:
Who is a mentor? A mentor shepherds a new member through their first year of Rotary. A mentor welcomes them at meetings, introduces them to other members, sits with them and encourages them to join in activities and to be active on a committee. In other words, a mentor helps them get involved an educates them on what Rotary is and how it functions. Be a mentor. Help a new member learn about Rotary.
Join us at the Rotary Foundation Dinner for Area 4 !by Foundation Chair Dan Halloran
The Area 4 Rotary Clubs, of which we are one, will be holding the 2018 Foundation Dinner at the Gold Miners' Inn in Grass Valley on Thursday, October 25, starting at 6pm. Our speaker is J.T. Capps, one of the most dynamic and entertaining of Rotary's inventory of superb dinner speakers! Dinner will be by Antonio! You can have Tri-tip, Salmon or Vegetarian, so make your choice! We will also honor our New Major Donors, Paul Harris Fellows and Paul Harris Society Members; while the planning is still under way, it appears that we will be able to keep the cost down to $50 per person! We have always had a good turnout for this annual event, and this year we will be joined by District Governor Tina Spencer and her husband Brian, and (of course) our own Past District Governor Doug McDonald and Karen. The Club will be dark that Tuesday, the 23rd, to make room for this event, so let's all be there! For more information, chat with Dan Halloran.
