Assemblyman Kevin Kylie will provide an update on our district and surrounding areas. District 6 includes communities to the East and North of Sacramento, from Latrobe in the southeast to Sheridan in the northwest, and including Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills (see map ).
Jennifer Donchenko presented the story of the Sweet Dreams Foundation. Jennifer founded this organization which has the mission to "improve the quality of life for children who have been diagnosed with a life threatening disease through the creation of their Dream bedroom." They have assisted approximately 20 children by building them a dream bedroom. Jennifer showed us a video that came from the "Good Day Sacramento" show of how much this gift meant to Connor, who is battling Leukemia, and to his family. To get involved, participate in an event, or donate, please visit Sweet Dreams web site .
One way that the organization is trying to raise funds is through a product that Jennifer and friends developed, Roos Wraps. We saw a video of how these keep the baby happy (while strapped to the parent's legs) and the parent fit at our meeting. To learn more, or purchase, please visit RoosWraps.com .
Mike Dugan recapped the results of Monday's golf tournament. The estimate of profit was $7,500 and thanks were given to sponsors Dave Crofut (Land Home Financial Services), Jana Ellerman (Guthrie and Ellerman) and Gary Gall. He also announced a meeting of the tournament committee after lunch. Bill Hughes called our attention to the "Salute to Valor" fifth annual fund raising golf tournament to benefit county veterans. It is scheduled on September 24th at Serrano Country Club. (postcards on tables) Dave Sargent conducted a brief Community Foundation Board Election vote. Ben Foulk was officially nominated and then unanimously approved by acclamation for the vacant Foundation Board seat for a three-year term. Dick Franks (with a little help from Roger Hassler) explained the concept of a bell ringer and again passed around a sign-up sheet for those Rotarians who wanted to make a one time donation in lieu of weekly happy bucks contributions. Art Cort briefly explained that the bike transport from the transfer site to Folsom prison occurred last Tuesday. With only one pick up truck and one SUV available, some bikes had to be left at the transfer station. Next bike transport day is the fourth Tuesday of September--please help. PE Dave Crofut called the attention of all members to the Rotarian magazine for this month, wherein Rotary's 2019 International Convention in Hamburg, Germany is highlighted. The dates are June 1-5, 2019 so planning must be started now.
