Next Week, August 15, 2019: District Governor Randy Van Tasssel
Club President Dave Crofut will host Rotary District Governor Randy Van Tassel - Annual meeting and update from the District Governor
 
 
Last Week-August 8, 2019 (Kiko Torres)
 
Last week’s meeting featured a multi-part program filmed by Channel 2’s Gary Campbell. President Dave Crofut started with another humorous video about how not to be a Rotarian and then followed by posing a question that was posed during a session at his PETS conference. That question is “Why Rotary?”  President Dave shared his response by detailing his introduction to Rotary by Bob Edwards and listing many Rotarians, including Art Cort, whose community service and professional positions encouraged him to be comfortable and join our club.
 
Indicating that he would be requesting all in attendance to respond to the day’s question on 3x5 cards provided, Dave asked Dave Sargent to respond publically. Dave S. shared that he valued belonging to an organization where everyone had similar common goals, where a fellowship of mutual caring existed in many areas of service and where the combined resources of all Rotarians could truly make a difference in the world. He characterized Rotary as an organization with common goals for all that are accomplished by uncommon individuals.
 
 
Featured Performance
During the second half of the program, we were treated to a truly remarkable piano performance by Kiko Torres, the winner of the District 5190 music contest. He was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Placerville. Kiko is an extraordinary classical pianist who has been awarded a coveted piano scholarship to the University of Southern California. He recently won the Young Artist’s Guild competition making him one of the top young pianists in the State of California.
 
For our club, he chose to perform the Mephisto Waltz by Franz Liszt. Kiko played this complex selection flawlessly with passion and skill. Anyone who watched his hands were treated to a display of dexterity that defies description. The audience of Rotarians provided a heartfelt standing ovation for Kiko. To help finance his first year at U.S.C. Kiko is playing a full concert Sunday August 11th at 3:00 p.m. at the Shakespeare Club in Placerville at 2940 Bedford Avenue.   A donation of $10 or more is suggested. Tell your friends about the opportunity to hear this amazingly talented young man.
