The Kidd's Comments

First of all, next week's meeting will be MOVED to Saturday, March 24 at the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools Office for the Radio Auction.

Wow... it has been a hectic week for NC Rotarians!

At last week's meeting, we had the Club Music Contest. This was the first year we had all of the musicians play the same instrument (the piano). It was a stiff competition, so I'm glad I wasn't judging. Congratulations to Marina Sanford and Chris Edwards for taking 1st and 2nd places respectively. They will be representing our club at the Area Music Contest, which will be taking place on Sunday, March 25. And many thanks to Gayle Denney for organizing not only the club contest, but the area competition as well!

Only 9 Days Until The Radio Auction! I guess my pleadings and challenges got through, since everyone heeded the call. As of last night, we have collected 240 items worth more than $47,500! That's an increase of more than $5,000 over last year's totals. In the nine years we've put on the Radio Auction, we have never brought in this much. Awesome job!

Although the special Radio Auction insert won't be published until Monday's edition of The Union, I'm told that it was printed yesterday and should be available for a sneak peek at today's meeting. I have seen earlier proofs, and I hope all of you will be as proud as I am of the way it turned out. Muchas gracias go to pP Fultzee who came out of retirement to work on this!

Speaking of work, the Board has been busy prepping the Call for Recognition. This 30+ page packet is what is used to judge club awards at the District Conference. It needs to be submitted to the District by tomorrow, so I better get back to work...

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