Rotarians and all –
GREAT JOB ON THE AUCTION!!!

We had a productive and exciting day on March 29th, our Auction Day Of – All computer systems functioned beautifully (Grass Valley Rotary was successfully blocked from any virus planting); all auction teams functioned smoothly (no shouting matches broke out) and we raised over $20,000 in this tough economic climate. Thank you for your donation gathering and for all your work on the Big Day. Special thanks to our Auction TeamCarolyn Inglis, Jeff Wenzel, Gary Gustafson, David Kenitzer, Robin Milam , Mike Colantuono, Ed Townsend, Luke Cummings and Julie Miller. We couldn't have done it without them!!

We are meeting as usual at the National this Thursday. Bob Aydelott is hosting a discussion on The Real Estate Market, which should prove to be very interesting given the tough times in the market today.

Our meeting the week of April 21st will be on that Monday, April 21st. We will be MOVING our meeting to the Nevada City Elks Lodge for the Group Study Exchange (GSE) Luncheon with the 4 other Rotary Clubs in our area. This is a very informative and interesting event. This year's GSE team members who are from Brazil will be sharing information about themselves and their country. The meeting will start at 12:00; the lunch is $18. We'll be asking for signups on Thursday. If you've never been to one of these, don't miss this great opportunity to enhance your world knowledge.

We still need more books for Governor Vic's drive for 5190 books for the RI Conference in LA. I now have learned that the desire is for books in the K-3 grade range. We've got 58 books now and need 100. If you have not already contributed, we'd appreciate a book or two.
