Remember, this week we have moved the meeting for our Christmas Party, which will be celebrated at the National Hotel on Friday, December 14th with cocktails at 6:00 and dinner at 7:00. We’ll have a lot of fun and fellowship, so see you there!

Our Salvation Army Bell Ringers were out with smiles on Friday at SPD and Sunday at Rite Aid. We don’t know yet if we will retain the Bell Award for the third year in a row, but hope that those who didn’t ring did add some funds to the red pots. Jim Phillips, our esteemed Sergeant at Arms, was hopelessly confused about his shift. He told his wife, Leslie, that he was ringing at 4:00 at Rite Aid, but that was Dave Fluke’s shift. Leslie showed up to help, tried to locate Jim and then decided to just take Jim’s shift for him. We don’t know where Jim might have ended up, but thank you Leslie for jumping in – we suspect it is not the first time you’ve had to bail out Jim (which is ironic for an assistant DA).

Our Assembly last week featured our Club Board of Directors each giving a summary of what they’ve been doing this year. David as always prepared an excellent presentation which also featured pictures of our various projects. If you have questions of any director, they will be happy to give you more detail. And Ellen, our wonderful treasurer, will share with you the line item budget if you are interested in what we are doing with the money we raise during the year.

Our program on December 20th will feature Christmas Carols by voices you don’t want to miss, so put this one on your calendar. The Interact Club (high school students) of Nevada Union will also be at our meeting to tell us about their ambitious project this year.

And it is still not too late to get your 2007 contributions in to the Rotary Foundation. You can bring a check to the Christmas Party for Shirl or Ellen.
