I am so sorry that I missed our program last Thursday. I understand that Chad Wingo, publisher of The Union, did a superior job. This week we look forward to Chief Dan and Nevada City Police Department Officers speaking about the POST program.
Our club has been very active this past week – packing food with the Kiwanis for Nevada County Food Bank, replanting trees at the epicenter of the Caldor Fire, standing strong for World Polio Day at the Firehouse Museum, and getting ready for the Area 4 Foundation Event to be held on Nov. 19. Thank you to Jim Bair for getting us involved with the Kiwanis Club.
Our lunch program next week (a week from Thursday) is our own Judge Kelly Babineau, talking about the state of our court system and then the next week at the Thursday social, Tally Gould will be giving her craft talk. The presidential trio will be having a switch next week as Cathy begins four months of leading our meetings -- but don’t worry, we will all be supporting each other.
Be sure to say Happy Birthday to Chris when you see her around town, her birthday is this week.
Have a great week – be sure to talk up Rotary around town. Happy Halloween!
Celebrate with us as we acknowledge our collective local and global contributions through The Rotary Foundation. The Area Rotary Foundation recognition event will showcase not only those Rotarians that have contributed to the foundation but also some of the international projects our local clubs have worked on over the last few years, with funding from The Rotary Foundation.

The Caldor Fire left a devastating scar on the Sierra forest. On Saturday, Oct 28, a team of Rotarians from across D5190 partnered with Boys Scouts and Sugar Pine Foundation volunteers to replant trees in the Grizzly Flats area, the epicenter of the Caldor Fire. A big thank you to all who participated in bringing new life to Grizzly Flats. You make hard work look fun being together!

A big thank you to our World Polio Day crew — Tom Ryan, Judy, Dennis, Sandy, Walt and Cathy for setting up in Nevada City to share the story of polio.
