Visiting Rotarians
Nancy and Mark from Southwest Eureka
Visitors
Dennis Hunter introduced his guest Danielle Tegarden from Coast Central Credit Union and was promptly fined $10.00 for advertising for CCCU. He then was fined another $10.00 for saying this advertising was cheaper than on KINS.
Carlton Nielson brought Christen Jones as a visitor.
Carlton sponsored two new members Tim Jones and Brad Gibson who were introduced into the club.
The club has reserved the Ingomar Club for the night of December 16th for our annual Holiday Party. No-host cocktails start at 5pm, with dinner starting at 6pm. Eureka High's Limited Edition Choir will perform at 6:45pm. For reservations, please contact Mike Cunningham at 441.1111.
Assistant Governor Bert Campton talked about the foundation fund. Steve Justus talked about the current status of revenue generation. Alice Birney School presented the club with thank you cards and art work for our work on Backpacks for Kids.
Many items were auctioned out of the Rotary archive such as the stool used by President Greg Pierson in order to be seen by the crowd, which of course was bought by our next President-in-waiting Nancy Dean. Baseballs from a previous president were bought by Carlton Nielson and Greg Seiler.
Next was the Rotary bell from the Southwest Eureka club. It was promptly auctioned off to Nancy Kay who was in attendance from Southwest, but John Harper stepped in and paid the auction price for Southwest as a token of goodwill.
Brian Papstein was recognized for taking KINS to FM 106.3.
Larona Farnum went to Cabo and took her youngest granddaughter to Disneyland.
John Harper bought himself a new Chrysler 300 before quitting his job and starting his own business. 
Will Kay introduced our speaker Public Defender Kevin Robinson.
He spoke on the many aspects of the Public Defender’s office than many people do not know about. They represent people in the justice system that may be charged with crimes, incarcerated and in the mental institutions. The option of having an appointed public defender is a relative new right for people not accused of capital offenses. Before 1963 the option of a public defender was not offered.
Yours in Service
