<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hi All,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">We had an excellent meeting and program this week. Amanda Reimen gave a concise talk on Cannabis, including how Cannabis addresses the Six areas of Focus of Rotary worldwide. <a href="Http://www.rotary.org">Http://www.rotary.org </a> My biggest regret- that we did not record the program! Thank you for coming, and for bringing guests. Guenter was awarded Rotarian of the month for his consistent attendance, support of fundraisers, excellent communications via email, phone, etc, and of course for photography! He is exemplary as a Rotarian, and I am glad we have him in our club. Last month's Rotarian of the month was Heather. She was awarded at our last evening meeting, which I know many of you missed. Heather has high standards and also consistently does much the same as Guenter, for example, business was taking her out of town this week and a quick email let me know. One of our guests, Esther Koch was Heathers guest. That is good Rotarian-ship :-)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Remember, our meetings begin at 11:45. Chris Calder of the Advocate was told to put 12:15 in the paper by a member. We don't want people straggling in. Our speakers do not always start at 12:15 or 12:30. I reduced club business time this week to allow for Amanda's program, and more time for club members and guests to talk with each other. We'd like to have guests sign in so that we can introduce them- and WE SHOULD always be getting their email address. We can discuss inviting, sponsoring, and guests etc. this week. All meetings from this time out are lunch meetings- unless we decide to do something for Earth Day April 21 in the park instead of our picnic on 4/19. Our debunking will be in June, date TBD, and I liked how Jody had it at the Ravens last year. Past President Gary plans the debunking. Change is good.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">FUNDRAISERS</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Our Golf Tournament is August 18th. I talked with Kathy Sheply at the LR Inn Golf Course this week to schedule. Jody took initiative (Sean threw a shoulder nudge, it may have been Sean instigating :-) ), and said he'd chair. I volunteered to co-chair, but I can give it up to anyone who wants it, and I'll focus on grant writing! I updated the website Golf Tourney date. If Kira or someone who has ADOBE can change the date and information on our Tournament Registration Flyer, we can put a PDF on our website, and link to the LR Inn Calendar of events. We already have one good auction prize of the Lodging and Wine tasting in Healdsburg. We discussed doing a fundraising mailer, and now is the time to get going on that.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">DISTRICT AWARDS CRITERIA- Attached from Dist.

I will hep you complete it if you need me, and this will be a helpful segway for this weeks meeting, which is a club forum. </font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><b style=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></b></div><div class="gmail_default" style="text-align:center;font-size:small"><b style=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif">I am also asking everyone to review the Handbook titled <i style="">Priority #1 Plus Workbook </i>(Blue Cover) which I gave everyone in July prior to this weeks meeting, as it is the basis for building a better club.

Now is the time to wrap up your committee projects. IF you are a committee chair, and are not going to be at this weeks meeting, you'll need to send someone in your place who is prepared to lead your committee round table and get work done. The meeting will be downstairs this week, as another meeting was scheduled for upstairs. The food will be Thai. The elevator has been fixed, so please spread the word. John Porter is recovering, and made last weeks meeting. Happy dollars flowed because we were all very happy to see him!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">DISTRICT TRAINING ASSEMBLY</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Lastly, I decided against driving solo to Santa Rosa today for the District training Assembly today. Gary had to cancel due to employees calling in sick. I was out on the road yesterday, and I could not make it to my meeting in Elk due to mudslides and flooding. I don't believe I need more training. Nor does Gary. Silo's of knowledge are not helping this club. It is time for all general members, committee chairs, and Presidents elects and nominees to come up to speed. Fortunately, the opportunity is still there-- there is a second District 5130 training this year in Fortuna on 4/21. I am requesting that any member of this club that has not previously been to a training Assembly, or not in the past three years, to attend the Fortuna training. Our club pays for your training, and it's a wise investment.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Thanks much,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Donna ✌</div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Donna Schuler</div><div>Strategic Management Consulting</div><div>President, Mendocino Rotary Club</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
<br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Rogers Bob</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mailservice@directory-online.com">mailservice@directory-online.com</a>></span><br>Date: Fri, Apr 6, 2018 at 11:10 PM<br>Subject: Rotary - District Awards Package - Revision - Please Read<br>To: <a href="mailto:schuler.donna@gmail.com">schuler.donna@gmail.com</a><br><br><br>
Dear Donna,<br>
<br>
This message is being sent to all Presidents in District 5130.<br>
<br>
Don't hate me, but it was recently pointed out to me that I had omitted Youth Exchange from the Awards Package. And since it is one of our major District service projects, covering both Youth and International Service, I feel I must make this revision to honor those clubs who participae in this major program.<br>
<br>
And as long as I'm at it, I've made some other revisions, that may hopefully, help some of you. <br>
<br>
I've attached two documents, an Addendum, listing the revisions, and a modified Awards Package. As I explain in the Addendum package, you can either use the Revised package to score your points if you haven't filled out the origional yet, or if you have, just mark the additions on the Addendum Page, and we'll make the adjustments for you. Whichever is easiest for you.<br>
<br>
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this is, or will, cause you.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.<br>
<br>
Final reminder that this is due on April 15th.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Yours in Rotary Service,<br>
<br>
Bob<br>
