Sunshine Report:
Ginny was not with us today, so members chimed in with what they knew. Norm and Bev Owen lost their home in Piedmont Heights. As far as we know no other members have lost their home from the Glass Fire. Former member, Gordon Shurtleff is having surgery this week.
Let’s Talk:
Since our speaker was unable to attend this week’s meeting, President Jeff opened the meeting to discuss how we were all doing with another round of fires. We all wracked our brains to think of anyone that could have been in harm’s way and how to contact them. It was decided that we would divide up the roster (from DACdb) to call and check up on all the members to check in on them. President Jeff, Julia Parranto, Diane Moresi, Robert Pierce, and Casey D’Angelo will be making those calls.
Sculpture for Coffee Park:
Tony Roehrick has been involved with the reconstruction of Coffee Park’s park. When he was president, he wanted to have us do something to help rebuild the park. Santa Rosa West and our club went it together to pay for a sculpture of three tear drops. One is bigger than the other two and stationery. the other two are smaller and swivel. It is currently being installed and looks great from the pictures he provided.
Giro Bello Update:
Plans are starting now for the Giro Bello to be held June 26, 2021. Please let Ray Giampaoli know if you will still do your roll in next year’s event.
Hands-On Project for October:
President Jeff says that our next hands on project will, again, be at the Redwood Empire Food Bank on October 29, 2020….2:00 to 4:00. Bring on the carrots!
Wild Game Dinner Raffle:
Ray Giampaoli will be raffling off his dinner for 10 next week. Bidding starts at $950.00. Get your group of 10 together and be ready to start bidding!
