The Kidd's Comments

Only 44 Days Until The Radio Auction!

Radio Auction items are continuing to flow in. As of this morning, we have already collected 81 items totalling more than $18,000. That's about 36% of this year's $50,000 goal. Great job, folks! Let's keep 'em coming...

With members of our community (as well as people outside of our area) starting to view the Radio Auction website, we thought it would be prudent to give our existing website a little bit of a "face-lift" as well. If you visit www.ncrotary.org, you'll notice the website now uses the same design as the Rotario, including the background, colors, and style.

There are also some new components of the website. The biggest addition is the Calendar. On this, we will post the most up-to-date information on weekly meetings, events, fundraisers, etc. In fact, you'll already see dates well into April and May (especially including the Radio Auction, District Assembly, and District Conference).

We have also left room for some growth on the Avenues of Services pages. At some point in the future, we'll be able to have entire pages devoted to the projects that our club works on throughout the year -- some you're aware of and some you may not be familiar with. This is just another way we can get information to our members, other Rotarians, and especially our community about all the good work we do!

Although members have been winning their lunch money back during the weekly raffle drawings, it's been about a year since anyone has won the "big pot". But last week, Bonnie Murphey did just that (see her picture in the Club News section). After her winning ticket was drawn, she pulled the Ace of Clubs off the board and then randomly pulled the matching Ace of Clubs out of the deck. Congratulations for winning over $600! Now, we get to start all over again (once a new poker card board has been put together)...

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

10th Annual Radio Auction: This year's Radio Auction is coming up on March 24 and will be broadcast over KNCO 830AM from 9:00am until 2:00pm. Remember to get your Gold Level Donations of $250 or more back to the Radio Auction Committee as soon as possible to maximize the number of ads your donors are in. To make submitting items easier for the members, the Committee has setup a fax line: (530) 687-9717. Once you have the "Item Donation Form" filled out, you can either fax it or bring it to the regular club meetings.
District Assembly: This year's District Assembly is on Saturday, April 14 at the Grand Sierra Resort (previously known as the Reno Hilton). More details to come...
District Conference: Mark your calendars for April 25 - 29 for the upcoming District Conference at The Nugget in Sparks, NV. From now through March 27, The Nugget will be holding a block of rooms with a special rate of $99 per night for Rotarians. Just call the resort at 800-648-1177 and mention Block #G5190-7.
