1 October is Economic and Community Development Month American Red Cross Home Fire Preparedness Campaign Saturday October 10, 2015 Goal: To install 1,000 free fire alarms in Sacramento and Yolo Counties Contact: Bob Thornton - (916) bob.thornton@redcross.org Chips from the Buzzsaw Weekly Newsletter of the Rotary Club of West Sacramento Volume 67, No 13 October 7, 2015 LEV VEL Live Well with Rotary! SPEAKER PROGRAM Program: - District 5180 Governor District Governor Glenn Fong, his wife Elise and daughter Katie, joined the Mighty Rotary Club of West Sacramento on Friday. Though Katie stole the spotlight, between the scrumptious cookie sales and her fantastic District Conference video (for District Conference information go to the District website at the messages of change, growth and youth were emphasized during the presentation. Glenn walked us through some changes Rotary has taken on since it began and compared them with changes in audio technologies over the past four decades (the changes have been drastic). Ultimately, the focus that Glenn is continuing is one that made the first year of growth in the District in the past six years. If we learned anything from Katie, a youth movement can be really exciting! Elise was also able to spend some time sharing her experience at the Rotary International conference in Brazil. She described her moving experience with some children in the poorer areas of Sao Paolo and her service project Fun for the Favelas (see the last page for more information). Her focus is to collect donated items for the children she was so moved by and send them to Sao Paolo. One can donate items or funds for shipping at our Club meetings or by contacting Elise at busyyellowbug@gmail.com.
