Announcements

 

Tipsy Tuesday on November 7^th will be at Mulberry Station.

 

The Christmas party has been moved to December 12^th. The BCCC had a conflict with December 5^th.  They were double booked.

 

Jim Patterson reported on his conversation with Dave Jessen.  His second session of chemotherapy hit him a little hard, but he can now walk, just not long distances.  Jen Liu reported on photos sent to him by Dave.  One showed his bedroom window and another his driveway, down which he can now walk.

 

Peggi introduced the new event coordinator for Butte Creek Country Club.

 

Peggi then reported on the meeting last week of the Crab Feed Committee, which they forgot to invite me too.  Subsequent to the meeting President Glenn did discuss table clothes, silverware, etc. with me.  Dianna Selland discussed the proposal to live auctioning fancy deserts, rather than providing desert with dinner.

Tonight’s Meeting Program

 

 

Tonight, Lisa Michaels, Training Coordinator for CASA, spoke about their program assisting children who have been remove from their homes and placed in the foster care system.   The local program covers Butte, Glenn and Tehama Counties.  California has 44 CASA programs serving 51 counties where 99% of the youth in foster care reside. They are Court Appointed Special Advocates who train and mobilize community volunteers to advocate and make a difference for abused and neglected children in foster care. They stand up for them. Speak up for them.  They research and gather information, monitor and advocate regarding case plans and submit reports to the court.  They advocate for the child in court and in meetings.

 

The Rotary Foundation Donations

You can make a difference in this world by helping people in need. Your gift can do some great things, from supplying filters that clean people’s drinking water to empowering local entrepreneurs to grow through business development training.

The Rotary Foundation will use your gift to fund the life-changing work of Rotary members who provide sustainable solutions to their communities’ most pressing needs. But we need help from people like you who will take action and give the gift of Rotary to make these projects possible.

When every Rotarian gives every year, no challenge is too great for us to make a difference. The minimum gift to The Rotary Foundation is $25.00.   An annual $100.00 gift is a sustaining member.  Once your donations accumulate to $1,000 you become a Paul Harris Fellow.

If you have any questions ask Steve Heithecker.

Your generosity has the potential to shape history. Together, we can eliminate this disease and ensure a healthier, happier future for generations to come.
