Demotion Golf TournamentAugust 24, 2020 The Rotary Club of Foothill-Highlands Demotion Golf Tournament for President Roland Wright starts with a short speech by Past President Patrick Magnani. Treasurer Dominic Mecklenburg sets up the first ball on the tee to be started off by his guest Steve Aicher. As you can see from this video the ball explodes upon contact! This was just the beginning of the fun and practical jokes during our play on the course, as there was an unannounced air horn on one fairway and we tee’d off with an Easton on another hole as well. In attendance was our newest President, Marilee Monagan, Brent Sizer and their two friends Sallie Kay and Mike Stodghill. We also were joined by our newest Rotarian Miguel Benitez for great day on the course. It was definitely a much-needed day of outdoor fun and fellowship.      |

Listen to where the students are, and where they plan to go...enjoy! |

Hello Roland, this is Eric Muller from the Sacramento State Rotaract Club. I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend the Big West Rotaract Institute. I had a great time and learned many useful skills to implement at my club! I met many great students and Rotaractors from all around the West Coast, and I was inspired to further my hopes of doing humanitarian work throughout the world from Past Rotary International president Richard King, whom was a keynote speaker at the event. It was an amazing experience, and I am grateful for district 5180 sponsoring me for this event. Again, thank you Mr. Wright!

Pictures from Sharon's moveRotarians Patrick Magnani, Dominic Mecklenburg, Nick and Jeffrey assisted former Rotarian Sharon Bias and her two friends, Jake & Nicole, with a little truck unloading last night, January 30th from 9:30pm-11pm. We unloaded a 20ft U-Haul and helped our good friend Sharon out. They were exhausted after a long day of packing, loading and driving. I'm sure they slept good last night. We took some items and stored them at the bank last night for future display as estate sale items! $$$
Some of us are working on the storage cleaning project after Rotary on Monday and some of us need to head over to Sharon's house to pick-up a few miscellaneous items to bring to storage.

Highlights of This Week’s ProgramTeacher of the Year Award
Gene Long, President Roland, Rick Matteoli and Matt Parris
Member Gene Long presented our Vocational Services Teacher of the Year Award. Gene was particularly impressed with the Antelope Speech and Debate studies. His daughter was forced to take a class in Speech and Debate, and complained bitterly at the start of the school year. By the end of the year, she was in love with the class. Gene credits the teachers with inspiring his daughter. Rick Matteoli, the Vice-Principal at Antelope High School, introduced Matt Parris. Matt is our Teacher of the Year. He teaches speech and debate. The Antelope High School debate team is very new. In its 1st year it sent 2 students to the State level competition. In its 2nd year, it sent 3 students. Having spent 37 years in the field of education, Rick has rarely seen a teacher inspire such success in their students.
Matt says his primary goal is motivating students. Not all kids immediately find their niche in school. Matt helps them. With 40 kids in a class, it’s hard for each child to find something within themselves to be proud of. Matt says he lives for each day when a child has a “oh yeah” look on their face. They have found something new about themselves. It’s a wonderful feeling. Matt thanked the club for its donation. It will be used to buy subscriptions to journals and magazines for the club. |
