PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Rotary International’s
new logo as recently
announced by RI will
be rolling out in the
months to come.
Keep an eye out for it on the web, in The Rotarian magazine, and
other aspects of public marketing and exposure.
As decided last week, in order to or-ganize a Rotarians at Work Day I asked Tom Thompson what help he would need at the Interfaith Food Bank of Amador that could be provided by Ro-tarians. We will have our Rotarians at Work Day on April 26 our regular meeting day and only 24 hours later than the
official Rotarians at Work Day. The Food Bank has an annual need for weed control around the building and property. This is important for pest management and would cost the Food Bank around $ 800 if done by a professional landscape service. So our club members can offer an effective contribution to the Food Bank doing the clean-up work, not so different from our Adopt-a-Highway project. After the work Tom proposes to have a BBQ , certainly a complimentary attraction, we also can consider a simple potluck. Besides the Food Bank needs on a regular basis weekend route drivers for pick up on Saturdays and occasionally on Sundays. The route starts at approximately 8 or 8:30 am.
Drive to the local grocery stores, pick up food and return to the Food Bank, unload and be done by 10:30. Is anyone willing to set up a group to rotate (as good Rotarians!) or be on call for one of the weekend days as needed. The sign-up sheet will circulate. The Share our Success project is almost done, thanks to the excellent reports of Ron Floyd, Art Long and Rick Sprenkel, I have the required forms of 10 pro-jects ready. Still need a detailed description of the Destruction Derby, one of our main fund raising, as well as pictures from the Dictionary Project and Scholarship projects if available and the report about our Interact club. We will have to let the District know how many of our Interactors will go to the District Conference in Reno, they can provide lodging for the kids with lo-cal Rotarians.
Irene would like you to know that she will have invite cards for our 4-clubs Meet Ro-tary Open House at Thomi’s on April 6 at 6:30 pm.She would like our members to distribute cards and not forget to bring a friend or neighbor to the mixer who could be a prospective Rotarian.
In an effort to bring new life and excitement to the
Jackson Rotary Club’s fund raising for 2016, the
board approved a new raffle that would replace the
Reverse Raffle and hopefully make up for the for-
mer Mother’s Day Breakfast event. This raffle is
being called the Aloha Raffle. Tickets sell for only
$50 each or three for $100. Tickets are available for
purchase through the end of July 2016. The drawing
will be held at our regular club meeting on August 2,
2016. The grand prize is a round trip for two to
Maui, seven nights of hotel accommodations, car
rental and $500 spending money. Grand prize win-
ner has the option to take a $3500.00 cash prize in
lieu of the afore mentioned trip to Maui. Second
Prize is $1000.00 in cash and third prize is $500.00
ALOHA RAFFLE
in cash. Not bad for only a $50 donation, eh?
Contact Ron Floyd for details. He will be contacting all
club members who will be asked to sell as many tickets as
possible before the August 1st deadline.
TRIVIA CHALLENGE 2016
Kudos to Chairman Art Long and his hard working committee who raised about
$3000.00 in the club’s first Trivia Challenge event. Held on Saturday March 12th, it
was a grand effort by many club members and Interact members.
The monies raised will be used sending kids to Camp RYLA this summer.
The success of this new event has everyone looking forward to Trivia Challenge 2017
which will be held on March 11th, 2017 at the Sutter Creek auditorium. So save the
date for more trivia fun next year!
