Wednesday’s Program

Sierra Donor Service/Deanna SantanaSierra Donor Services (SDS) is the nonprofit, organ, eye and tissue transplant donor network serving nearly four million people in Northern California and Nevada. We are committed to saving and improving lives by connecting one life to another through donation and transplantation. We support potential donor families in their time of loss, provide care for them through the donation process and coordinate the recovery of organs and tissues for transplant. We also provide after-care support to donor families while at the same time working to inspire universal acceptance of donation to ensure every person in need receives the “Gift of Life.”

Dear Rotarians,Bob Kynaston, Dale Eyeler, Tom Pelton, Steve Kroeger, Sarb Khangura, DAve Duncan, Bill Highland, Paulla Hyatt McIntire, Kristine Cassidy, Pam Sweeney and Cindy Seidel ...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU - for your participation and help with the AVID BBQ. To quote Bob K “You all exemplify the Rotary spirit and demonstrate why Rotary is a great organization.”

What is AVID and why do we support it?: AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), is an instructional system for students in kindergarten all the way through higjer education (K-16). The AVID College Readiness System is a school-wide transformational effort designed to increase the number of students who enroll and succeed in higher education and in their lives beyond high school. AVID develops a school culture that closes the expectation and opportunity gaps many students face, and prepares all students for success.

Literacy is a focus of the Rotary Foundation and is among six areas of focus including: Peace and conflict prevention/resolution Disease prevention and treatment Water and sanitation Maternal and child health Basic education and literacy Economic and community developmentThese areas “reflect critical humanitarian issues and needs that Rotarians are addressing worldwide.”

So there you have it ... Rotary ... addressing a critical need. Pretty cool, huh!? Yours in Rotary, Linda

Notes from our 03-13-13 Meeting: ROTARY NOTARY: 03-13-13

Welcome: With the meek ringing of a bicycle bell (the real bell having been stolen by the usual suspects) President O’Linda welcomed all Rotarians and guests to the Most Irish Club on Earth. Guests: Rotary Free Agents Gerald Odor and Kristine Cassidy were present again. Negotiating for prime Rotarians like these may mean forfeiting several future draft picks or Bill Highland.

Announcements: Cindy S invited members to join with her by attending the District 5180 Assembly on March 23rd. Rotarians learn about many projects and aspects of Rotary Clubs.

Jim B challenged the club members to contribute $100 to Rotary International Foundation. A fierce bidding war ensued with Ken “the Coercer” Anderson claiming 100% team participation.

Bob S, with iPhone in hand, announced the new Pope was Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a.k.a “Francis”. Thanks Bob, obviously “there’s an app for that”.

Ken A, looking sharp in green, invited fellow Irishman, Ardie O’Gee to help him lead “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling”.

This just in… Darnell R arrived late (no fan of corned beef apparently) but just in time for cake.

Fines and Bell Ringers: Fine Master Adams was absent, rumored auditioning for “L.A. Law”.

Program: The experts from Sutter County Health Department, Carrie Ozeran and Ericka Lansdon Summers presented interesting and disturbing facts about our community health. Both Carrie and Ericka have earned Master of Public Health degrees. Their mission is to address and reduce the chronic diseases that plague our citizens. Two culprits are breathing and eating, more specifically inhaling tobacco and swallowing too much fatty-food. Using their skills to focus on prevention, they are promoting smoke-free businesses and parks. Sadly, cigarette sales to under-age youth in Sutter County are twice the state rate. Culprits are the “cigarette-only stores” that rarely verify age. On a brighter note, each Rotarian was given a packet that included several solutions to health problems afflicting our county. Follow-up DVD and other resources can be found at Sutter County Public Health.

Notable and Quotable: “Sutter County has the highest density of fast-food outlets in the state.”

Thanks for the tune, fella’s ... Ardie O’Gee and Ken McAnderson ... “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling”
