Nothing Fishy Here

The countdown is minus 2 weeks and counting. That’s right folks, only 2 more meetings with King Richard and his motley crew of henchmen. The Patsy of all Patsies will be taking over July 1^st. Aw!

Ken Dansie greeted all visiting guys from all over and Mike Moore graciously translated his greetings. Paul Stychno gave an inspiring couple of words from Mother Teresa that are applicable today.

Hawaiian Shirt Day a Luau Good Time

As usual Arnie looked great on his special day, "wear your Hawaiian shirt to club Monday." This has been a time honored tradition that will never be given up. We just have too much darn fun.

New Members Introduced

Jim Benoit introduced sponsor and new members. Bill Gittins introduced Carolyn Fox and Arnie Carston introduced Robert Perkins. Carolyn and her husband Jim have a business and technical firm and Robert is Pacific Bell’s area manager.

It is always a privilege to bring new members in and we welcome both Carolyn and Robert.

Craft Talk: Chris Parr

New member Chris Parr gave her craft talk. Whew! This writer barely got all information down as this woman has enough energy to harness the Geysers! All kidding aside, Chris has accomplished many great feats in her time. She has 2 grown children, 3 grandchildren and is engaged to be married. She loves to hike, dance, read, cycle and just have a good time all around. She was a charter member in the Windsor Rotary Club since 1987. She was also their treasurer. She has been to 4 Rotary International conventions, a GSE leader to the Phillipines and she is going to India in February 2000. She has her own production and events company, Parr Events Presents. And to top this off Chris showed a short video on the Vienna Race which her company put together. We are happy to have you with us, Chris. Welcome!

PROGRAM: One Fish, Two Fish...

Marc Matson introduced our guest today, Ethan Rotman, an official with the Dept. of Fish and Game. The Dept. of F&G sponsors a "fish-in" for all school age children. They go to the schools and teach kids how to tie lures, put that sqiggly worm on the hook and good all around rules on fishing. This is all before they even see water. When they go to Lake Ralphine everyone knows courtesy rules and fishing etiquette. What fun! The only thing F&G cannot promise is that you will catch fish.

We heard first hand from 4 students from Albert Biella Elementary School. Testimonials ran from catching "lots and lots of fish" to "not even getting a bite" or " I saw a fish staring at my bait and then he swam away". Regardless of either tale the kids had a wonderful time. Free fishing rods are provided and The East Santa Rosa Club furnished small tackle boxes just chuck full of all the goodies you will need for fishing. In fact they asked our club 2 years ago for a donation and we gave $200 to the cause. A wonderful partnership between our Rotary clubs and the Dept. of Fish and Game. And everyone has a great time!
