Greeter Protocol
 
When you are assigned the duty of being our greeter, you should remember the following:

1. You should be at the meeting by 11:45 AM in order to greet everyone as they come to the meeting.

2. You should bring a "Greeter's Gift" for the raffle. The gift should be approximately $20.00 in value.

3. You will be leading the giving the inspiration of the day, leading the salute to the flag, and introducing the visiting Rotarians. It is a good idea to watch the visiting Rotarians sign in, so that you can ask them about any complicated names or classifications.

4. If you cannot attend, it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
 
 
THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
MADE SIMPLE
 
We all think we choose what path we take in life, who we socialize and mix with, what views we hold. But those decisions are actually shaped by networks of people - David Brooks. The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
 
FIRST: The Development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. Rotarians have the opportunity to create relationships with many business, professional, and community leaders.
 
SECOND - High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society. Being a Rotarian authenticates the person and their business or profession.
 
THIRD - The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life. Rotarians nurture this personal characteristic; the cornerstone of building and sustaining relationships.
 
FOURTH - The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. Rotarians become better world citizens and often build lasting international relationships.
 
ROTARIANS INFLUENCED BY THE OBJECT OF ROTARY HAVE MADE THEIR FAMILIES, BUSINESSES, COMMUNITIES AND THE WORLD BETTER. WHAT THEY DID IS A BY-PRODUCT OF WHO THEY ARE AND THE IMPACT THE OBJECT OF ROTARY HAD ON THEM PERSONALLY.

Meeting Notes for August 23, 2018
by Tom Port
Opening: John Milich, “Copy Cat”, says “Welcome, Barry Rassin is R. I. President and his theme is: ‘Be the Inspiration’”.  
Greeter: Jerry Marrs gave us our “Thought for the Day”: By collecting and sponsoring for our On-Line Auction you can step-up and make a difference. We need 350 more items by September 15. So get Busy! Jerry is an estate planning attorney and arbitrator.
Patriotic Song: Don Jones led us in “God Bless America”.
Announcements: Cal Football vs. Oregon “Rotary Day” is September 29.
 Six Club Meeting Is Tuesday, October 16. Dinner speaker to be announced.  We may be “dark” that Thursday, but this is to be determined also. (I guess we are not so good at decision making).
August Golf Outing: Our club’s golfers, Glen Weber, Jeff Disch, Chris Gayler, Dennis Harvey and Gary Sloan had a great time a guests of John Tatum.
Resumes: Ana Dominguez wants resumes of those who are greeters so she can  include them in the Crow’s Call.
 
Priya would like club stories as she is preparing a publicity campaign.
Recruitment: Dennis Harvey points out we need to attract, no recruit, not only new members but those willing to take on the various club activities. The membership committee meets at Green Escrow.
 
Recognitions: A few were AWOL and thereby dodged a bullet, but John Milich, Jerry
              Marrs , Marco and Ray got hit for various birthdays and anniversaries.
Paul Harris Fellow: Ray Giles eloquently described the history and good deeds of the Rotary Foundation which has developed from $24.00 to over 4 billion since 1917 for the betterment of humanity around the globe. Glen Weber’s son-in law, Alastair Watson, was then awarded his Paul Harris Certificate and pin to the applause of all present.
PROGRAM: Edgardo had been billed for the program, but at his doctor’s orders he was not quite able to attend.
 
Raffle: Colette won the Greeter’s Gift, and Guy Greco won the Progressive, but failed to take the grand prize of $260. Better luck next time!
