Yesterday I was at the park and visiting the current staff member.. I brought up the question of getting the women’s restroom painted.
She checked in with Nancy Peirce from the Park District, and she thought it was a great idea. They can supply the paint and we need about 4 Rotary volunteers.
We just need to set a date… early morning is best. If you have any thoughts, send a note to me at jbumpus@charter.net...watch for more info in your email.....
The Passing of Rotarian Frank Luporini
Sad news — I was walking at Western Gateway this a.m. and talked to Betty - Frank’s daughter — she said he passed just this morning of natural causes — no heart attack, no Covid...has been in hospice for the last two weeks. I asked Betty how she was doing health-wise and she said “well”....sorry to pass this along — I offered to share with Rotary and she appreciated that. She said memorial of some sort will likely be in a few months — in the Bay Area. She will let me know.
Newer members may not know of Frank but he was a quiet “character” and quite the bocce player well into his 90’s.
Be well.

Nevada County has initiated a Relief Fund...donations will support the frontline safety net nonprofits who are providing a life line to our neighbors most in need.
