Meeting Recap October 17th, 2012 Our First Club Assembly?
For the first time in a long time we had no visitors! Let’smake it a goal for that not to happen again, it was no fun tohave no one to introduce and welcome.
Maggie was fresh from her Interact meeting and reported
that they had collected $109 to purchase Christmas gifts for
foster children. She challenged us to match that – and we
did! Thanks to Interact for stepping up to help in such a
worthy cause.
Donna Kerger shared with us the tales of her recent train
trip to Chicago for her 50th class reunion (amazing!). She
visited the Shorewood Club just outside of Chicago and was warmly received. They so enjoyed having Donna that
she was invited to be their speaker! Luckily she comes from a club in San Ramon that is doing great work and she
told them all about us. Of course they were impressed. On returning to her hotel, she was met with a bomb scare,
oh no! It turns out it was a prank from one of the weddings taking place there. Whew.
We enjoyed a on the spot "Club Assembly" presented by Chris and Rene. In case you missed the meeting we were
informed about the "Visioning" meeting held just the night before. All members of the "Visionaries" were asked to
stand and be recognized. It seems that the excitement was in the air and the ideas are cemented on just where we
are sailing. Our travel plans are being entered into the ships log and will be shared with all of the captains and crew
in the next few weeks. Rene spoke about the process and how we were able in just 4 short hours to pick our
course. Sounds like there will be a "committee" formed to help steer the boat in a straight line. The committee will
meet every quarter and review direction and make sure the sails are tuned with no flutter.

Rene went on to let us know that at our October 24 meeting the nominating committee will present nominees for her
board elect. Nominees can also be put forth from the floor that night. Elections will be November 28. So now is the
time to look ahead, do you want to take your turn at the helm? well it might be good to get a seat at the captain's table
for the next year.
Chris reminded us that the District Conference is right around the corner, Jane Louie has agreed to coordinate a
Saturday Carpool effort for those who can only afford one day of time. Please call Jane or email,
[email protected] or 415-601-6592. More information is available on line,

This Weeks SpeakerHabitat for HumanityOur speakers were Steve Wilcox and Karl Auker who came to talk to us about
Habitat for Humanity –Hope for Haiti. While Habitat builds homes, Steve and
Karl got involved in building outside of the home, building the community.
They work in the town of Santo, the epicenter of the 2010 earthquake toward
the goals of providing safety, sanitation, creating commerce and establishing
governance. Safety comes in the form of street lighting, there currently is
none. When the sun goes down, everything shuts down. Steve and Karl are
working to raise $108,000 for 24 solar powered streetlights. The cost of
$4500 per streetlight includes training and maintenance. See the YouTube
video on the proud community of Santo at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBUmlV720qk

Club Business / EventsOur Rotary District Conference is coming up in Napa, California the weekend of November 2, 3. It will be a fun timefor all. Jane sent out an announcement via email on 10/11/12 about a carpool forming for Saturday morning,November 2, for those who want to just go up for the day. Enjoy the conference and have some dinner later. Moredetails to follow. Here is the link once again DISTRICT CONFERENCE LINK
On October 24, 2012, We will be announcing nominations for the new Board during the 2013-2014 upcoming year.
Be thinking about how you would like to participate in the coming year and would consider being nominated. Or
think about some folks you have seen demonstrate leadership qualities and would be a good fit for a particular
position. Or just raise your hand!
A Note From The President
Committees - Are You Involved? - Can yougive us a hand?"Many hands make light work" "Busy hands are happy hands" "All hands on
deck"
Ok.... I am not talking about sitting back and giving us applause.......we have "opportunities" to make your Rotary experience somethingspecial to all concerned. The club is run by committees and many of these opportunities will matchyour availablity. We are looking for each member to find thier home on at least one committee. Ifyou are anything like like me you might say "What Committee?" well on the left hand side we havestarted a list of "Committees" and the respective "Lead" contact. Some committees are still missing from the list, they will be added soon. We have I think one of thegreatest Rotary clubs around. We are active and have tons of potential as we move forward. Join thefun, get more out of Rotary, get back more than you give, we could use a hand. Thanks for you consideration!Action Groups - Much More Than a "Set Up" Team Many have asked, many wondered, what lies ahead? I am now a member of an "Action Group"!!How exciting! Besides helping set the room for one month and having your turn in the spotlight. The

Will it be beneficial to allconcerned?
groups form a "team" to get other items accomplished. First up on that list of items to beaccomplished is the recruitment of new members to assit us in our goals to serve our commuinties. Each "Action Group" is asked to be responsible to bring in at least one new member between nowand the end of the year. Yes, we are talking about December. So, my suggestion is to look over the list, find your teammates, exchange emails, phone number andthe like. Meet for coffee, drinks, walks in the park...... and brainstorm, throw out some names, decideamonst yourselves who is going to ask. Bring a Action Group member with you to discuss ourDVSR Rotary Club, do it on your own, ask a board member, ask your kids check with the dog, butjust go ahead and start asking folks to attend. "One and Done" - Somebody even discussed prizes....for the most new members? Past and current Presidents are not ellgible.. What are you waiting for,not sure who is going to be our next speaker? On the left hand side of this newsletter is a list of all "Action Groups" New members will be added tothe sponsoring "Action Group". You will be able to see the new members by their highlighted names.
