Nevada City Rotarians, Family, and Friends,

The Ranch tour last Thursday was an eye-opener. A big thanks to Luke Browning, Director CTE. As we can see from the picture, Louise, Ken, Tom and Robin, Chris, Paula, Tally, Walter, Lisa Dragaset, and I plus Karen attended live and in person. We were delighted to have Lisa’s husband Anders, his mother and Rotary father join us. 

 

 and at least one new friend…

The 86 acre ranch donated by the Phelan Family to the Nevada Joint Unified High School District (NJUHSD), will go a long way toward cultivating the Future of Agriculture in Nevada County.

I encourage you to watch the NJUHSD Ranch YouTube encapsulation found on Yubanet.com to get the big picture. The Union's Ranch article reads well also.

Armando and his County team opened up the vote tabulation and verification facility to the public from 4-7 pm that same day. Some of us were able to walk through and frankly marvel at what it takes to ‘count the votes’ coming June 2.

Hope to see you at the Hive Thursday, May 28 12:15pm for lunch. Bring a treat if you can… Chris will educate us on our Carbon Footprint as we prepare for our Rechargeable LI Battery Recycling on Saturday morning, May 30. Thanks Paul for the lemons last time!  

Best regards,
Pearce
Lunch meeting at Bodhi Hive
