Bob's ______?

This is the last week of “Bob’s _____?”, and then David will have to find a new icon to replace Bob’s ???. Be sure and submit your ballot to be sent to you in a separate e-mail.

It was great to have Dr. Scott Kellermann give us an update on Uganda last week – great pictures, great information, great sense of humor! Thanks, Scott, we wish you a safe journey back to Uganda and pledge our support as we work towards helping you make dreams real for the people of Uganda.

Last Friday’s Childrens Festival was another huge success. It was my first time to see the event and I was impressed! The number of volunteers and the number of children involved was overwhelming. Thanks to IPP Nancy Kemp, Cathy Wilcox-Barnes and Gayle Denney for all of the planning and work prior to the event. And to Nicole Dillard, Ron & Nancy Knaus, Shirl Mendonca, Stacie Hart, Nancy Brost, Austin Farrar, and the Aydelott family – Bob and daughters Chelsea and Brenna and a visiting cousin – for help with setup and cleanup (I hope I didn’t miss anyone – let me know if I did). It was another Rotary sponsored event that supports youth in our community. Job well done!

Congratulations to Miriam & Bob Keene on the dedication of the their new facility for homeless families, the Booth Family Center. It is a temporary home for families to stay while they are making arrangements for permanent locations.

District 5190 will be hosting a Foundation Seminar in Reno on August 9 followed by a Hot August Nights style BBQ, complete with root beer floats and a mini-mini car show. Check in is at 8:30 with coffee, tea and muffins. Several members are already on the list to attend. Anyone else interested, please let me know – lets have a good turn out!

Ellen Davis is hosting the program this week where we will get an update on Foothill Theatre Company and the programs and productions. I’m looking forward to hearing the direction FTC will be taking and on future productions. I hope to see you there.

Fair Booth: Our first fundraiser of the Rotary Year is the Fair Booth, where we sell pulled pork and BBQ beef sandwiches. The Nevada County Fair runs from August 6 to 10. Be sure to sign up for at least one shift (preferably two!), since our goal is to have 100% membership participation. Take a look at the latest sign-up sheet for empty spots and more details...
