Dear Fellow Rotarians and Friends,
 
Upon returning Dolly to First Five (she was a guest star at the Pumpkin Paloooooza), I learned that we have over 700 kiddos signed up to receive monthly books. So very glad we have this underway!
 
And now, both Paws and Pumpkins are in the books;  final figures forthcoming. We will be able to make significant contributions to Polio Plus and our budgeted areas. These efforts are profound, well-recognized throughout the County and Rotary 5190 and beyond and…Congratulations Nevada City
 
...You put in the descriptive words...Exhausting, so much fun, sorry I missed it/them. Cathy, Giudita, Tom R, Robin, and 
many many others of us really dug in and made them happen. Please enjoy the pictures. Phew…very well-done!!!
 
I thank each and everyone of you for the visions and the execution. We’ll let the dust settle a little and then give a heartfelt and sincere review as we move forward.  
 
Thursday the 23rd we have a great program scheduled with Pawnies Homecare at Bodhi-Hive 12:15 and then we will take the 5th Thursday, October 30, off for Halloween preparations or …!
 
Peace, Pearce
