Today, as I write this, it is cool and rainy. I guess it should not last too long, so I am enjoying it while it lasts. My puppy, Nessie, isn’t too sure what this stuff called rain is about, but she does enjoy romping through the rain drops.
Congratulations to Chris, and Dennis for their continued support of The Rotary Foundation and their multiple Paul Harris Fellowship awards. Keep up the support of Rotary’s funding source for projects all over the world and locally, too.
I am hoping that Andrea will be feeling better soon so that we can make her induction official.
Time is also moving fast, but you still have a chance to join other Nevada City Rotarians at the Rotary Clubs in Action session on Saturday, Oct 7. Check out the details in the article below – the Club picks up your fee, so what could you have to lose? I know you will gain lots of great information about Rotary and meet other like-minded people. Don’t miss the opportunity! Plus Cathy would love some folks for Sergeants-At-Arms – great way to meet folks and the work is easy and fun! Just ask her.
This Thursday at 5:30PM at our usual Round Table Pizza location, we’ll have Walt giving his craft talk and hear a thank you from Cathy Anderson-Meyers for our support of the Barbara Schmidt Millar Triathlon.
I’ll see you at Round Table, come a bit early to place your order.
Karen
Co-President for July – October

Special Screening and Q&A Discussion October 6, 2023 7:15pm Del Oro Screenings October 6-12
Synopsis: In addition to warning the next generation, the narrators provide hope for ways to fix broken systems. "As parents of two young children, ‘Common Ground' is not only a love letter to our kids, but all of the co-narrators of the film are also writing the letter to their children," co-director Rebecca Tickell. Sobering yet hopeful, ‘Common Ground' exposes the toxic interconnections of American farming policy, politics, and health, by sharing stories of destruction and regeneration across the United States and beyond, all while exploring how people from different walks of life, different political backgrounds and different places share one thing in common - the very soil beneath their feet.
Aligned with our Environmental Sustainability focus, on Fri. Oct 6, Michael Dimock, Exec. Dir. Roots for Change (and Special Guests!) will lead a Q&A and discussion after the opening night 7:15pm screening at the Del Oro 165 Mill Street Grass Valley.
