It's our annual PUTTING FOR POLIO event...at Haggin Oaks Golf Course!  Instead of our usual Friday morning meeting at Del Paso Country Club, we'll be meeting at Haggin Oaks at 7:30 am for a fun morning of putting, breakfast and hijinks!  Wear your funkiest golf attire (yes, we'll have a contest!) and join us to help raise funds for the eradication of polio.  Rotary's #1 goal is to eliminate polio...in the world!  We're getting close, but we can't let up now.  Join us, bring your putter, and have fun.  And we'll accept contributions for Polio Plus...no donation is too big, or too small! 

Another great meeting coming up...besides the usual fun, merriment and announcements, Jennifer Stolo will be our speaker.  She is the CEO for Robert Craig Films and they have just produced a movie called "No Address".  Inspired by true events, No Address follows the harrowing journey of Lauren, a young woman pushed onto the streets and forced to survive against all odds. It is a gripping journey of living without walls and rising above them. It is currently available for rent or purchase on a variety of streaming services.  Check it out at https://www.noaddressmovie.com/   It has even received a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes!  Our meeting will be at North Ridge Country Club and will start promptly at 7:30 am.  But come early to mingle and have a great buffet breakfast!

Join us on October 17th as we get nostalgic and have our meeting at Fairytale Town for this one Friday only!  Take a trip down memory lane as we visit one of Sacramento's favorite childhood venues!  In keeping with the theme, our speaker will be Jim Hernandez, Head Animal Keeper at Fairytale Town, sharing some "behind-the-scenes" info!  The meeting will have our usual 7:30 am start time.  

We'll be meeting on Friday, October 24th at Del Paso Country Club - the meeting starts at 7:30 am, but come early to socialize and have breakfast!  Our speaker will be John Mohammad, COO of D.A.R.T.  The Drowning Accident Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) was founded in 1980 by a group of concerned, caring, ambulance company employees from Elk Grove. Many of them, scuba divers and medics, familiar with drowning physiology, wanted to rescue people, rather than to recover bodies.  Their mission is to save lives and recover property from the various rivers, lakes and waterways in and around Sacramento County.   They are a  501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer organization that relies on donations and fundraisers to continue to serve the community.

Friday, October 31st - not only is it Halloween, but we hope you'll join us for a great meeting!  Our speaker will be Mike Nelson, who worked for the U.S. Marshals Service and served in various positions within the Service, retiring with 30 years of service as a highly decorated Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal in 1999.  We'll be meeting at Del Paso Country Club - the bell rings to start the meeting promptly at 7:30 am, but it's always good to come early for the buffet breakfast and camaraderie!  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

One of our favorite meetings,  where we celebrate those who have served our country - our annual Veteran's Day program!  Veterans Day is a U.S. legal holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars, and Veterans Day 2025 will occur on Tuesday, November 11th.  In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in World War I, then known as “the Great War.”  In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became known as Veterans Day.  We'll be meeting at North Ridge Country Club - starting promptly at 7:30 am.

We are excited to welcome Stephen Clark as our speaker on Friday, November 14th at Del Paso Country Club!  Stephen is the Deputy Director, Airport Commercial Development, Sacramento County Department of Airports at the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport.  It should be interesting to hear what's new and exciting at the airport!  We'll have the usual fun, happy dollars, service project announcements, fellowship...and a great breakfast!  The meeting starts promptly at 7:30 am, but come early to mix and mingle.

Join us on Friday, November 21st at Del Paso Country Club for our weekly club meeting.  Our speaker will be Roger Niello, who has been a Sacramento resident for most of his life, having graduated from Encina High School. After earning his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley and his Master’s Degree from UCLA, Roger began his career as a CPA.  Roger was elected to represent Placer and Sacramento counties in the State Senate in 2022. Come hear from Roger about what's happening in our state!  The meeting starts promptly at 7:30 am.

Give thanks and be grateful!  Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
