Kathy began by pointing out the ED County Fair and Event Center is a 501c3 charity, not a County Agency. The County owns the fairgrounds, the Fair and Event Center maintains it and schedules and manages events there. She mentioned a large number of diverse events, including the County Fair (June 13-16) which had 62 thousand visitors last year, the 4th of July fireworks, the Crab Feed, Music Festivals, the Farm Bureau 3rd Grade program, the May through September Saturday Nght Speedway Races, and the entire grounds being taken over by First Responders and rescue animals during the Camp Fire.
Assistant District Governor, Vickie Christensen – The Four District Conference was a big success with about 1000 people in attendance.
Of the four Districts present, only 5190, which includes 46 clubs, held District Speech and Music Contests. Our club’s Speech contest winner, Carter, won the District contest.
Our club, which is in the medium sized club category, received awards in the Foundation, Club Service, Polio Plus, Membership and Vocational Services categories.
Our club received several “Project of the Year Awards”
Club Service: The Community Showcase (led by Bill Hughes and Mike Dugan)
Public Image: Our publicity efforts (led by Vickie Christensen)
Vocational Service: The Community Observatory (led by Art Cort and Bill Gallant)
Community Service: The Bicycle Program (led by Joe Ryan)
Mike Dugan – The club’s 50th anniversary celebration will be a luncheon at the Country Club on Thursday, July 11th. Carter, our District Speech Contest winner and Pico, our music contest winner, will both be there to repeat their performances.
Steve Long – There was a big Bicycle Event at the prison with TV, Newspapers and the Warden involved. Also, the Bicycle group delivered its usual large number of bikes to many people and organizations in many places, including Chico for Paradise Fire victims, Alameda County for Union City youth, El Dorado Probation Department, and Buckeye School. They are careful to follow the rules about charitable giving in order to avoid competing with businesses who sell bike to ordinary customers.
Dave Crofut – Remember: Wine at Town Center is Saturday, June 15.
