 Dear Fellow Rotarians and Friends,

Nevada City Rotary was delighted to host DG Larry Harvey at our Club meeting on Thursday. Larry talked about meeting RIP Francesco Arezzo in Calgary and how he embraced Rotary's message Unite for Good as RI President. Larry also shared his personal experience of making dreams come true through Rotary with launching REGL and his commitment to literacy through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in Northern Nevada.
DG Larry and President Pearce inducted our newest member Ken Hunter. Ken is returning to Rotary after a number of years since retiring from his Dentistry practice. He was formerly a member of the Rotary Club of Vacaville where he served as President in 1989-1990.

PDG Dennis Geare was recognized for his generous support of The Rotary Foundation.
 
Nancy Kemp was awarded Quiet Rotarian for her ongoing support of Girls Who Code, our Club Foundation, and plastics recycling project. Nancy coordinates the pick up of stretchable plastic at Briar Patch where we have collected almost 10,000 pounds… yes, that is almost 5 tons.
 
Dream Maker Andrea Mason was honored for her avid leadership launching Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Nevada County. 
 
We are Uniting for Good and my gratitude continues to overflow!
 
Peace, Pearce
