 Speaker Three part program:

Michael Juric explained the committee structure for major fund raiser he then lead the club in a brainstorming activity to give input to the 12 sub teams for our Lobster Feed.

Everyone is urged to feed ideas to the Board for a decision on the Beneficiary of the Fundraising.

Michael then worked the crowd with an interactive drill  designed to help everyone evaluate their way of participating.

Remy Moens Gave his 1st Craft Talk

A very impressive PowerPoint format and an interesting story! Highlights include his parents being from France and the States; Being a graduate of Windsor High School; Graduating from Davis; a focus on beer and wine that goes back to his college years; how he met his girlfriend and a good overview of his career. We need to do lunch!!

Pam Moulton gave her 3rd Craft Talk because she has been in and out of the club.

Many firsts though. First craft talk ever segmented by “Hair Color” and first craft talk with “elegant” props. She also opened with I am probably going over my allotted time! Some things were cleared up when she explained where and how she grew up in San Francisco! Her knowledge of language understood when you learn the different places she has lived. A good look at her Redhead phase that included a great look at her accomplishments in Rotary. A little teaser at the end with a plug for a collective effort of the “Picture Chicks” called “Facing the Beast” a photo study of the recent fire victims.

President Steve closed the meeting pretty much on time with his usual urging to “Go do something Rotarian”
