Next Meeting, Oct-19-2023:  Sid and Sharon's Egyptian Odyssey
Please join us for a very entertaining presentation by Sid Bazett and Sharon Nelson about travel to Egypt and on the Nile, one of those exotic trips on many of our "bucket lists".
 
Sid is currently a member of the CP Rotary Club and serves on the board as the Youth Chair. He is also the President of the CSD board and is active in many community activities. From Oregon, Sid graduated from UC Berkely and served in the Peace Corp in Tonga in the South Pacific. With a master's in special education, Sid has taught Special Ed and was a school psychologist as well. Committed to youth, he is also a well-traveled adventurer.
 
Sharon has been retired from the medical field for five years. She worked as a clinical lab scientist for almost 40 years in a few hospitals, finishing at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View.  I miss my friends in the Bay Area but it was too expensive to retire there. Love El Dorado County. I belong to two book clubs, my church choir, and Soroptimist International. I’m also a moderator for a Facebook fan club about the campy, cult status soap Dark Shadows that aired in ABC during 1966 to 1971.
Last Meeting, Oct-12-2023:  Gina Posey (and Tom Murphy), the Grand Jury
Gina Posey (center) spoke to us about the history, specifics, and results of the El Dorado County Civil Grand Jury with assistance from Mary Chan.  Tom Murphy also answered questions.
 
Gina has served on the El Dorado Grand Jury for 2 terms and is a board member of the EDC Chapter with the California Grand Jurors’ Association.  She opened with a question:  "In which year did the Mtn. Democrat publish the first Grand Jury Report?"  No one was correct on the answer which was 1854.  Each county in CA must empanel a Civil Grand Jury each year. The presiding judge of the Superior Court intervews members and chooses a foreman.  The Grand Jury (GJ) must take an unbiased look at one or more of: county government; city governments, special districts (such as CSDs) or school districts.  The GJ selects topics for investigation based on: citizen complaints, grand juror inputs, or responses from previous GJ reports.
 
The requirements to be a juror include: a citizen of the U.S. and at least 18 years old; and EDC resident for at least one year; possess at least ordinary intelligence; can serve at least 10 hours a week; and not convicted of any felony.
