Nancy's Nuggets

At last week’s meeting Mike Colantuono facilitated a discussion with club members about what types of programs Rotarians were interested in having. And those at the meeting drew program dates out of a hat. We are looking forward to the programs that club members will bring forward. If you were not able to make our meeting and would like to host a program, please see Mike and we can arrange a date.

Our program for this week is Steve Eubanks who will be discussing “The Angora Fire – Can It Happen Here?” And while fire danger may seem remote now that we have had a good rain, I’m sure Steve’s talk will be informative for us.

Last week, we also had a visit from two of the officers from our recently formed Rotaract club inviting us to their charter night celebration – The Rotaract Ball. It will be held October 21st, Cocktails at 5:00, Dinner at 6:00 at the Nevada City Elks Lodge. The cost is $30 per person and the dress is semi-formal attire (tux’s not required). Please plan to attend this important event; these fine young people are the future of Rotary – let’s help them celebrate their club.

District Governor Vic Slaughter will be visiting the clubs in our area in October and will be our speaker at our meeting on October 25th. Vic is a great speaker and likes to have fun so save this date on your calendars too.

Kellermann Foundation Dinner: The annual fundraiser is this Sunday (September 30) at 5:30. It costs $100 per person to attend with all proceeds benefitting the Kellermann Foundation and the Kellermann's work with the Batwa Pygmies in Uganda. But if you're willing to work for the $100 plate, volunteers are needed to serve the tables. A sign-up sheet will be passed around at today's meeting.
Land of Pygmy, Land of Gorilla
: On July 26, we caught a sneak peek of the documentary by filmmaker Alex Wolfe about the Batwa Pygmies. This film will be premiered at the Nevada Theatre on Monday, October 15. Tickets are only $20 with all proceeds also benefitting the Kellermann Foundation.
Rotaract Charter Night
: The Nevada County Rotaract Club will be hosting their Charter Night on Sunday, October 21. More details to come within the next couple of weeks...
2008 Radio Auction
: Believe it or not, the date for next year's Radio Auction is already set! Be sure to save the date for Saturday, March 29.
Club Photos
: We're starting to build an archive of club photos at www.flickr.com/photos/ncrotary. Some have been printed in the ROTARIO, while others have not. Take a look!
