Nancy's Nuggets

We are NOT meeting this Thursday at the National! We are instead taking the bus at 4:00 from the Plaza Parking Lot in Nevada City (corner of Sacramento and Nevada Street) to Sacramento for a River Cats Game on Friday evening. So enjoy the fellowship on Friday!

The Rotary Youth Leadership Award camp has an urgent need for one more counselor for the program. Our club is sponsoring two exceptional candidates, who will be attending camp starting June 15 through June 20th. The camp is located at the Grizzly Creek Ranch near Portola (130 miles east of Sacramento, 40 miles west of Reno). If you are interested in helping with this urgent need or know someone who could help, here is pertinent information: counselor must be a female at least 25 years old, counselor training starts Saturday, June 14th at 8:30 AM, and there will be accommodations at the camp starting Friday evening. This is a volunteer position but all meals and sleeping facilities in modern cabins are provided. No special training or physical conditioning is required. More information about the camp is available at www.Camp-RYLA.org. Please call Mike Johnson, the Camp-RYLA Co-Director at 1-800-288-7989 x43 (day) or 530-273-5967 (eve).

Our Vocational Chair / President Elect Bob Buhlis reminds us all to get our nominations in for our club’s Vocational Service Award. The award is given to the NC Rotary Club member who best exemplifies his or her professional classification for the year. The 2006 award was presented to George Rebane. Contact PE Bob for more details or for the nomination form (320-9257 or BobBuhlis[at]NCRotary.org).

As you know June is Fellowship Month, and if you want to see some very interesting fellowship in action, check out the Rotary International site www.rotary.org. There is a great picture of two gentlemen exchanging club flags underwater in full scuba gear!

Enjoy the game and see you at the National on June 19th! And will whoever took the Bell please return it to the closet; I’ve never known of such an underhanded filtch.
