YUKO INABA ARRIVES! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
With
great fanfare, Yuko Inaba
arrived at San Francisco International on August 1st. Jeff & Beri Kasper and Dirk & Nancy Wentling greeted
Yuko.
ItÕs
a good thing that sheÕs young, because the fun started right away with a tour
of San Francisco. You can also
keep up to date with photos on the ClubÕs web site, www.CDRotary.org If you havenÕt already
signed up, please do so. You can
access her calendar (sometimes – hey, itÕs a free calendar server) via
our web site. The link is on the
left-hand side of the main page. Yuko will be at todayÕs meeting and will be joined by Amanda
Wentling at out meeting of August
10th. |

JOE FESSES UP FOR RANCH PURCHASE – QUELLS RUMORS In
a shocking revelation, Joe Bechelli, taking a fashion tip from Dirk Wentling and wearing a ÒRancherÕsÓ hat, stuck his thumbs in
his overalls and confessed that he and lovely wife Hilary had purchased a humble spread in Valley
Springs. This little place,
named the ÒYezDear RanchÓ is
really a 25-acre working ranch with horse stables, lake (stocked with fish),
and a mule. DonÕt
get nervous, Joe and Hilary arenÕt leaving the area, but will commute and
live with their daughter in their house in Concord during the week. To
show how happy he was, he tossed in $200 to Paul Harris! INTERACT MEETING SLATED FOR AUGUST 21st A special meeting for those interested in Interact (as in
the club weÕ reworking on getting started at Concord High) is set for Sunday,
August 21st in Danville.
The meeting will start at 5:00 pm and should last about 2 hours. Food will be available. Please contact Heather Hougey at 925-429-3696 to let her
know if you can attend. NINERÕS TICKETS AVAILABLE Think of it.. the smell of the bay, the touch of pigskin, the wind
whipping through what hair you have leftÉ Al Browning
is making a few of his awesome season tickets to the San Francisco 49Õers available to us mere mortals. HereÕs the deal – tickets are available NOW! Call Al at 429-3113 and reserve
yours! As a special thank-you,
Al will donate a portion to the Club for each ticket you buy! |

DIRK NAMED ROTARIAN OF THE MONTH! President Sam started a new tradition by thanking DIRK
WENTLING for his efforts this
month – primarily in the July 4th event and also for the
Wakayama exchange. Way
to go, Dirk. A RAINMAN, CAVEMAN & A DOCHTERMAN SET TO KEYNOTE DISTRICT MEETING! DG
Brian Thiessen announced that
he will have ÒCave ManÓ Al Mathis, ÒRain ManÓ Kim Peek and Past RI President Cliff Dochterman as keynote speakers October 21st
& 22nd at the
District Meeting. ThereÕs no
excuse for you not to attend, as itÕs at the Concord Hilton! This
will be an action-packed couple of days! The DG has asked us to sponsor a tennis event, but Sammy
the Nanny thought Bocce might be more his speed. Jeff Kasper offered to lead a group to the top of Mt.
Diablo in his Yukon. Past
Prez John then got up and, in a loud voice, mentioned that the first 10
people to sign up at the meeting July 20th, would have their $75 registration
fee paid for in full!!! Hands were flying faster than in the back seat at the
drive-in movie! In the end,
those that have not attended a district meeting and those who got good grades
on their homework were compedÉ
All the rest can go to www.Rotary5160.org to download registration. 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) |

ROTARY ÒTABÓ AVAILABLE! Thanks to all those
members who participated in the Centennial Rotary ÒTabÓ insert into the

Rotary. The insert carries

area. Thanks to our members who
