The next BBQ Committee meeting is Sept 10th at the Gold Rush Conference Room at 5:00 PM.  - Catherine McGregor
 
We ordered new Rotary t-shirts $24.  If you didn’t order one, but need one, there are some extras. Talk to Linda Maeding.
 
The International Service program is a collaboration between our club and other clubs, as well as partner clubs in Mexico. Next Monday, Sept 8th, 5:30 PM we’ll have a meeting at John Donlevey’s house. Food and wine will be included.  Our international Program is very robust and we need your input on prioritization and engagement in these great projects. - John Donlevey
 
We have a few things that will be in the silent auction… about 65 items and some great local art.  Next week we’ll be selling raffle tickets at the meeting for those of you that will be busy working at the BBQ – Betty Bennett
 
Sept 17th – we’ll be helping at Symphony in the Park – ushering people to their seat and handing out programs.  Let Betty know if you want to help with that.
 
Please pay your dues. If you received an email this week, it’s because you still owe. Thanks to all of you that responded so quickly. We still have about 20 people that have not paid. Please do so soon. - Jolie Huston
 
We have our booth at the Fair this weekend, if you have time and would be up for sitting in on that booth, you can also sell your BBQ tickets. – Liza Stefani
 
We have officially butchered all of our hogs from our Hogs for Hungry project.  This was a Rotary Grant Project where we purchased 10 piglets and 4H raised the piglets and then Feed The Hungry paid for the processing. All of the meat will go to families and programs in need.– Liza Stefani
 
The lamb show at the fair is Thursday at 4:00 PM. Our exchange student, Grace will be showing her lamb. If you are up for some great entertainment and to support our city girl, turn farmer, please plan to come. - Liza Stefani
 
Happy and Sad Bucks
 
Jorge – Happy bucks for Linda Maeding and Cindy Eckland for letting him clean their windows.  Both were fantastic customers!
 
Carolyn - $100 for Fund D – in light of Carolyn and her husband, Matt’s grandson, Van being bron.  They fondly call him, Mini Van and soon to be Sprinter Van, once he starts to crawl.
 
Wolfe – $20. He was looking for a local business to partner with Tuesday Sept 16th = 4:00 – 7:00.  Max’s Restaurant will be giving some of their proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Linda – Her husband is back from Burning Man and he had a great time. Another shout out to Jorge who did such a great job cleaning her windows.
 
John – the pig that he bought from 4H is amazing... top quality!
 
Geoff – bee boxes were finally installed after him wanting them for many years.
 
Al – There was a fire on Sunday right by his house. He was impressed by the immediate response and got it solved very quickly.
 
Bill – last week, he celebrated a very special birthday of his son, 63 years old. WOW
 
Phil - had a great vacation in Ireland. His brother-in-law rented a great big manor there.  They had both of their kids and grandkids, it was fabulous.
