NOTE: This is an abbreviated bulletin.
Kris has been writing the bulletin for a very long time. Now that she is president, she needs a few bulletin writers to help out.
Opening Ceremonies:
President Kris took the helm today. Though she was nervous she only forgot to introduce her quests (among other things).
Ginny Cannon led us in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, the Four-Way Test and read her reflection.
Visiting Rotarians:
Peter Anderson (Kris’s little brother) from West Sacramento and JoAnna Duthler (Kris’s best friend) from Laguna Sunrise
Visitors:
Dennis Ball, Johanna Sandev (she is actively looking to join a local Rotary Club).
Sunshine Report:
Karen Ball is back from her knee replacement surgery! Yay!
Raffle:
$95.00 in the pot, no winner today. However, there was a second prize and that was a candy bar to Bill Hatcher
Announcements:
Ann Gospe read Denis Andrushchenko’s greeting to us for a happy Fourth of July.
Curt Groninga announced Ukraine art show that will be at Montgomery village on July 16 from 2:00 to 5:00. Curt was recently installed as a new member, but today he got his Red Badge.
Birthdays:
Keven Brown, Peter Holewinski, and Matthew Henry were here to get a present from Corrick’s. Other birthdays not present are Casey D’Angelo, Paul Hamilton (on Zoom), Kim Murphy, Knoel Owen, and Cookie Garrett.
Kris Anderson’s Message to the club:
You had to be there. No seriously, she has a Power Point that she could email to you if you missed it.
President Kris’s 1st Time ringing the final bell.
Introducing Obi One and Obie Two:
It is take a bear on vacation! You might remember that we had rover the Rotary Bear(s) a few years back. Well, the concept is reborn with Obi. He is an astronaut from Houston space Center and is signed by Mike Fossum, a Rotarian and astronaut. See President Kris to get one to take on vacation. Craig Meltzner was first up. He will be taking Obi to Belgium.
The admin budget needs help. When you go on vacation bring something back to auction off. Today President Kris had some soap from Maui and some chocolates from Texas. Steve Olson and Sam McMillan brought back a bottle of tequila and a dish towel (with a quote from Barbara Bush). President Kris had to have them, so she paid $50.00 to the admin budget.
