Gary Gall reported that this year's Wine and Beer Fest broke 2023's record of $17,000! This year the event grosses $22,200 and netted $11,800 for the club. 25 members and friends and families volunteered for the event.
President Cathy Dugan presented Rotarian of the Month Certificates to the event chairs, Gary Gall, Gary Clarke, Don Fuller and Dave Sargent.
Don Fuller and Tom Elken won the bidding for the golf foursome certificate at CPCC at last December's Christmas Dinner and Auction. Last Friday, 6/21, they and two friends used that certificate to play at the Country Club. At the 17th tee box near their home, member Gary Gall and his wife Sheilah greeted Don and Tom and then rated their drives on a scale from 1-10. Fortunately, all 4 drives were good, for perhaps the first time that day.
Steve Long announced that the monthly Bike pickup to haul bikes to Folsom Prison will be next Tuesday, June 25th, at 4:00 pm at the county dump.
Dave Sargent reported that the first Perseverance Grant from the CP Rotary Foundation went to Ashlee Quintero, who will receive $15,000 toward a four-year college education. He also thanked Don Fuller and DeBORah Demander for helping with the interview process. He introduced Ashlee to the club and she spoke movingly about her travails. In her freshman year she flunked every course. In her second year, however, she got a 3.6 grade average and finished all of her freshman courses. She plans to start at Folsom Lake College and then go to Sacramento Sate to become a teacher back here in El Dorado County, hoping to inspire students as her teachers at Ponderosa High School did for her.
Guests:
