Last week’s presentation by former Nevada City Mayor
Steve Cottrell, City Clerk Niel Locke,
and Treasurer George Foster was another informative
and beneficial program moderated by pP David Kenitzer.
Although only a handful of our members can vote in the city
initiatives to consider the appointment of City Clerk and Treasurer
instead of electing, it was of value to all of us who work in
Nevada City or have other interests in the "Queen City
of the Northern Mines". It was also good to see our good
friend and former member John Merritt as a
guest.
PDG Al Frumkin will be our guest speaker this
week. Many of us have had the pleasure of hearing Al speak at
Assemblies, PETS and District Conferences; now all of our membership
will have that opportunity. Al is a dynamic speaker who will
undoubtedly be all over the room as he addresses membership
recruitment and retention at the club level. Be prepared for
an informative, helpful, entertaining, and FUN presentation.
The annual Area 4 Foundation Dinner is scheduled
for Thursday, November 6 at the Miners Foundry.
Nevada City Rotary is responsible for the event and Club Foundation
Chair pP Nancy Kemp with the assistance of
pP Ellen Davis have taken on the leadership
roles. The speaker will be Dr. Joe Serra, an orthopedic surgeon
who has gone to Africa on many occasions to do surgery on the
"crawlers". You’ll need to attend to find out
what that is all about!
Another date to save is Sunday, October 26
for our Family Oktoberfest. Details will be
announced next week.
To pin or not to pin, there is no question…
