KAREN MASHI EXPOSED! HIJINKS SHOWN ON COVER OF NATIONAL MAGAZINE! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In a shocking announcement at the meeting of July 13th,
Karen Mahshi
announced that she was now a cover girl of a national magazine. Rumors persist that Karen was forced into the revelation
because of pressures from the National Enquirer threatening to expose her
hijinks! Actually, congratulations to Karen! Her beautiful quilt is featured on
the COVER of the most recent issue of the American Rose Society's national
magazine! Finally, a member who appears on the
cover of a national magazine that we can show our children! |

RECORD ATTENDANCE AT BOARD MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT In
testimony to the power of a good meal, 13 members were in attendance at the
board meeting July 19th.
Conspicuously missing was Jeff Kasper, who was held hostage in the
BART parking lot by a dead battery. President
Sam brought the near capacity crowd to order and proceeded to the business of
the day. Beri Kasper ordered
delicious burritos for the attendees to keep their energy high. The meeting lasted under 90 minutes,
with an early adjournment due to multiple anticipated gas leaks. |

WAKAYAMA EXCHANGE STUDENT ARRIVES AUGUST 1ST Mark your calendars now for our Wakayama Exchange StudentÕs arrival on
August 1st. SheÕs 20
years old and we need to firm up accommodations and activities for her during
the time sheÕs here. Several members have expressed an interest in meeting her at the
airport, which is always a lot of fun.
We also need to set up activities during her stay. Theresa Azevedo has set up a calendar for the visit. A link is available at www.CDRotary.org CLUB COMMITTEES FILLING UP FAST At the last meeting, the clubÕs committee sign up sheets were
unveiled. ThereÕs a lot of work
to do and everyone needs to help out in their multiple areas of interest. If there are any holes in the committees, the board will fill them at
the next board meeting.
(Remember, the board may think youÕre interested in other things that
you are) NOW IS THE TIME TO GET BACCHUS DONATIONS! DonÕt forget to continue to solicit donations fro Raucous
Bacchus! Any business you use is
a potential vendor. DonÕt know what to say? Download a standard letter at www.CDRotary.com |

MAKES AN
IMPACT! At the July 13th meeting, Michael
Mendona spoke to us about a prosthetic hand project he has

of lives around the world.

BUSINESS NEWS YOU CAN USE! Maureen Kilmoury let us know about a brand new business web site
thatÕs been put together by the Contra Costa Library! So, dust off your library
card to get online (if you donÕt have one, just ask Maureen, sheÕll tell you
how to get one) The information on the
site is exceptional. They have
brought together a number of different resources for you to use to grow and
manage your business. All in one
place! The site is well laid out
and itÕs very easy to navigate.
So, if youÕre like me,
and hadnÕt been in the library since you were in high school, get in there
now! You really shouldnÕt pass
up this great free service! ItÕs sure not your motherÕs
library! YouÕll be amazed at all
you can do online! You can access the
business site at: http://ccclib.org/business/index.html DONÕT MISS A MEETING! If you miss a meeting, here are some nearby Rotary Clubs
