• Any
Rotary runners out there? Bonnie Murphey and Sandra
Brown have formed a Rotary team for the Celebration of Life
Triathlon. Sandra will swim and Bonnie will bike. The team needs a runner
-- anyone? (Must be female or excellent female impersonator!) ...
• Does Bob
Buhlis have a secret gambling habit? He was too busy to attend
last weekend's membership seminar in Grass Valley, but he was quick
to ask if he could go the the Reno seminar on Aug.
6th. Fultzee is looking for volunteers to keep Bob from the tables...
• Speaking of
membership, pP John Burke is about ready to lose a
prospective member to the 49ers. John, we need this guy on our tug-of-war
team. John also missed an important membership seminar Saturday to drive
to San Luis Obispo and back ... that 12 hour round trip will be $12
... lucky Fultzee doesn't charge by the mile ...
• And pDG
Dave Denney informed our leader that he always misses one meeting
each year, so that he doesn't have to worry about 100% attendance. If
he makes up for his miss on the 7th, Fultzee may be out $100 ... if
he doesn't, rumor has it that Dave will make up the diff ...
• pP Ben
Barretta and friends were recently in a golf tourney at the
Nevada County Country Club. They placed sixth out of about 17 foursomes

• How lucky is
Eleanor Kenitzer? She's spending a week at a villa
in Tuscany ...
• Jack
and Marty Dinwiddie will
be spending most of September in Scotland, where Jack will look up some
of the DINWIDDIE clan. In other Jack news, his recent pre-Summer Nights

Tug O' War: The proverbial "gauntlet" has been thrown.
The Grass Valley Club has personally challenged our
club to a tug-of-war contest at their annual Community BBQ
on July 29. We need a team of 10 people, including
3 women. If you're interested in helping us win, talk to newly
appointed tug-of-war Captain Ed Townsend (aka the "Fittest
NC Rotarian").
•
Fair Booth: The Nevada County Fair will be going
from Aug 10 - 14, and of course, we'll be staffing
our food booth again this year. pP Ben Barretta will
be passing around the sign-up sheet for the fair booth shifts. Be sure
to sign-up now, so you can get the shifts that will work for your busy
schedules. Also, there will be a cleanup crew working on the booth on
July 23 and 24. If you want to help,
let Ben know.
•
Miners Foundry Window Project: On July 30 and
Aug 6, a crew will be painting the new windows at the
Miners Foundry. If you are able to paint from a ladder, then please
sign-up on the sheet being passed around by Gary Gustafson
at today's meeting. Speaking of the Miners Foundry, did everybody see
the article
about Ellen Davis in Tuesday's Union?
•
Paul Harris: Congratulations to Jim Young for
obtaining his XXXth Paul Harris Fellow.
•
District Conference: Prez Fultzee and Ray
James have set a goal of 30 members attending
the District Conference on May 5 - 7, 2006 at John
Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks, NV. Be sure to make your calendars
now!
•
Club Fines: Last week, Prez Fultz fined merely $47.00.
Year-to-date: $182.
•
Weekly Attendance: Only five members need to make up by July
28 for our club to have a 100% day. They are: Pearce
Boyer, Teresa Carrigan, Steve Fjeldsted,
Eleanor Kenitzer, and George Rebane.
Remember, attendance doesn't cost ... it pays! Every
100% day will add $100 to our fine coffers by Prez Fultzee and eliminate
the need to fine you.

Last weekend, I had the privilege of hearing Rosemary
Barker Aragon, PDG of 5030 ( to the North of us) speak about Rotary
membership. She was also a speaker at Chicago's Rotary Convention. Her
message was simple. We need to make Rotary young again. The founders
of Rotary were all young. Look at the ages of some of our Past International
Presidents when they were inducted:
| •
Rajendra Saboo (1991-92), age 25. |
•
Glen Kinross ( 1997-98), age 29. |
| •
Cliff Dochterman(1992-93), age 33. |
•
Frank Devlyn (2000-01), age 30. |
| •
Herb Brown (1995-96), age 22. |
•
Bhical Rattakul (2002-2003), age 31. |
| •
Luis Giay (1996-97), age 22. |
•
Johnathon Majiyagbe (2003-04), age 33. |
Now our club is off to a good start. David "Kidd"
Kenitzer was only 23 when he was inducted. His youthful energy on the
Club Bulletin, the Radio Auction, and the Food Booth made him a logical
candidate to serve as next year's President. When I was asked to join
Rotary in 1964, it was known as the "old man's club" in Santa
Cruz. As I have grown older, I have become comfortable with being surrounded
by folks my own age. The people I propose for membership are my friends
and most are of my generation.
This needs to change. Our focus this year is on youth.
What better group to introduce to the concept of "Service Above
Self"? Help me make Rotary young again. Let's all bring some young
business and professional people in Nevada County to our meetings and
expose them to the ideals of Rotary. They may catch the enthusiasm.
It could be contagious!
