The Kidd's Comments

Only 58 Days Until The Radio Auction!

Yes, the countdown to the 2007 Rotary Radio Auction has officially started (actually, it started a couple of weeks ago during the Kick-Off Club Assembly, but you know what I mean). I see that they're already starting to trickle in. In fact as of last night, we have already collected 19 items totalling almost $5,000. That's almost 10% of this year's $50,000 goal, and we're only 2 weeks into the collection. Great job, folks! Let's keep 'em coming...

I heard from several Rotarians that PE Nancy Kemp did a wonderful job running last week's meeting. So I asked her to run this week's meeting as well. When she bursted into uncontrollable laughter and starting muttering something about "hearding cats" over-and-over, I realized I couldn't get out of it this week. Perhaps I should wait until after PETS to ask her again...

And yes, I am just kidding (she actually started crying, not laughing)...

I know that in last week's column, PE Nancy wrote about our club winning the Salvation Army Bell Ringers award. However, I heard a rumor that President Bob "The Man" Breck of the Grass Valley Rotary Club would be visitng us today. And I couldn't resist mentioning that we trounced them two years in a row. This year, our kettles held more than twice theirs.

So... now that I mentioned all of that, I won't feel so bad when he stands up to tell us a little bit about their Casino Night, which is coming up on Saturday, February 3 from 6:30 until 10:00 at the Fairgrounds. Besides, I can't be too mean to him, since he does help us out with the Radio Auction each year...

In Service Above Self,
President David "The Kidd" Kenitzer
