ÒIÕM ALVE!Ó Emma Makes Quote of the Year! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
If
you missed last weekÕs meeting, you missed a doosie! First, we were blessed to have Emma
McGregor and her dad (former first
dude) Greg, as our very special
guests for lunch. (This reporter
would remind the Board that heÕs now fair game, as heÕs been to two meetings as
a guest) Emma
looked stunning in a pink outfit.
She was obviously feeling great and had a lot of wisdom to share. She let her dad say a few words to
the club of thanks for their support and friendship. When it was her turn, she said
simply, ÒIÕm Alive!Ó and she is!
It
was truly great to see what the advances in medical science have been able to
accomplish for her. Emma, Greg,
Erin, and everyone else in the McGregor family – Our continued prayers
and best wishes for your continued health and happiness! |

Toth was just signed to headline
the entertainment at Raucous Bacchus!
With this much entertainment, we should be able to sell out! |

WOMEN USE FINE
this is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you
need to shut up.
FIVE MINUTES
if she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five
minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before
helping around the house. NOTHING
this is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you
should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in
"Fine" GO AHEAD
this is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.
LOUD
SIGH This is not
actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A
"Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she
is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over
"Nothing" THAT'S OKAY
this is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man.
"That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before
deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. THANKS a woman is thanking you. Do not
question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.
Oh,
and before we forget ... "Whatever" ...it's a woman's way of saying *! #@ YOU! |

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. |

- 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. NANCY GLENFIELD NAMED ROTARIAN
OF THE MONTH! In an announcement made at
last weekÕs meeting, President Sam announced that Nancy Glenfield was the Rotarian of the Month. He cited her tireless
efforts to bring the auction items together for Raucous Bacchus and the many
other things she has done for the club as just a few examples of her service
above self. Congratulations
Nancy!
