ROBERT STRONG BOOKED TO HEADLINE BACCHUS ENTERTAINMENT

Robert Strong has been confirmed to be the headline entertainment for Raucous Bacchus. The idea of having a comedy competition was a good one, but would be almost impossible to pull together in the little time we have.

 

Robert captivates his audiences with amazing magic, breathtaking juggling, and outrageous comedy. Since 1985, he has performed in 17 countries, on national television, and twice at the White House. He was recently voted "San Francisco's Funniest Prop Comic."

HereÕs some of his reviews:

"Outrageous!"
-Washington Post

ÒBest bet!"
-The Baltimore Sun

"This world-class entertainer will be back for his fifth smash year. RobertÕs show is laugh out loud entertainment that is great for the entire family. He is simply captivating!"
-The Smithsonian

"Is he a magician who does comedy or a comedian who does magic? You be the judge. Either way, Robert Strong's a riot. Check him out."
-The Las Vegas Sun

"Hot ticket!"
-Baltimore Magazine

You can check him out at his web site:

TECHNOBOOB UPDATE

I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one. 


 

It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1965. 



Symptoms: 



 

1.     Causes you to send the same e-mail twice. Done that! 



 

2.     Causes you to send a blank e-mail! That too! 



 

3.     Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. Yep! 



 

4.     Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. Who me? 



 

5.     Causes you to forget to attach the attachment. Well darn! 



 

6.     Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. Oh no - not again! 



 

7.     Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND." and I just hate that! 



 

8.     Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE."


 

Oh No! 

IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS.

 

. CV SUNRISE SPONSORS E-WASTE AT CHRONICLE PAVILION

The Rotary Club of Clayton Valley/Concord Sunrise, in conjunction with Got E-Waste Inc., a State certified recycler, is sponsoring a hazardous electronic equipment recycling event on October 7 th, 8th & 9th at Concord's Chronicle Pavilion. This event is being billed as the largest E-Recycling event ever held in California. E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products at or nearing the end of their "useful life."  Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products.

 

Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled.  Unfortunately, these electronic discards often find their way to our landfills and destroy our environment with toxic waste and heavy metals. Items will be accepted working or not at this drop off location include: Computers, Toner Cartridges, Computer Monitors, Telephone Equipment, Computer Components, Cellular Phones, Keyboards/Mouses, (Not Mice) Power Supplies, Printers, DVD Players, Fax/Copy Machines, Laptops, VCRs, TV's, I-Pods, Electronic Cords & Cables.

 

This recycling event is FREE to California residents.  The public is encouraged to bring all their E-Waste items to this drop off location.  There is no limit as to how much any person or business can bring. The gates will be open on Friday, October 7th from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  On Saturday October 8th & Sunday, October 9th the gates will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

WAKAYAMA / JAPAN MEETING SLATED JAN. 8th - 15th

 

A very special Hawaiian meeting is slated to take place from January 8th – 15th on the island of Maui, HawaiÕi.  Approximately 20 members of the Wakayama West RC will be flying to the islands and staying at the Westin Maui.  Jeff & Beri have already booked their flights and hotel rooms.  What a great chance to catch a few rays and renew old (and in some cases new) friendships. 

 

Airfare is CHEAP!  For about $400 per person on Hawaiian Airlines, you can get to Maui.  Think about it, you couldnÕt drive there for that price!  If youÕre interested in going, let Jeff for Beri know ASAP.  We might be able to put together a package deal with the hotel.

 

 

CLUB COMMITTEES FILLING UP FAST

 

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)
