Hey, Club!

We sold 2200 Pulled Pork, 990 BBQ Beef, 300 Sides of Slaw, 1850 sodas, 400 waters, 162 Gatorades and 214 of our 3 for 15 sandwich combos at our Fair Booth - Awesome!

Thanks to all Rotarians and friends who worked in the booth. Our day captains pP Ben Barretta, Nicole Oros, pP Ellen Davis, pP John Woodford (yes, he did appear), pP Don Fultz, and Joe Tomkiewicz kept the action running smoothly. Special thanks to Fair Booth co-Chair Ben and super thanks to Joe for mixing it up a little this year. Joe suggested we raise our prices, drop refills, sell 5 sandwiches for $15 and offer Gatorade -- it paid off. We will announce final income when all our expenses are in.

Thanks again team!!

Don't miss our program this Thursday. Joanne Drummond, Executive Director of the Fire Safe Council of Nevada County, is speaking about forest fire safety in our county. In her presentation "Making Nevada County Fire Safe", Joanne will give us an interesting view of the challenge we face each day in the summer.

And another reminder about the Group Study Exchange (GSE) Program. Young professionals 25-40 travel to Brazil from April 7, 2008 - May 7, 2008 with all of the major expenses paid by Rotary International and the District. Brochures and applications will be available at the meeting! Let's see if we can host a candidate.

Did everyone see this month's District Newsletter? It is a good way to see what's going on throughout the District. The Fair Booth and the Children's Festival are mentioned, and there is a picture from the Children's Festival too! Take a look: www.rotarydistrict5190.org/District_News_0807.pdf
