Visiting Rotarians

Fines
John Berger was fined for not sitting at front table on his actual birthday. President Greg Pierson tried to enlist the help of fellow Rotarians in sing Happy Birthday to him, but someone paid in order for the privilege of the group not signing.
Special Recognition
President Greg Pierson wanted to recognize the members that served for our wonderful country in the armed services. We had a standing ovation paying tribute to their service from all members. Then we heard each member’s story of their time and place that they served.
Small Grant
A $950 grant was given to the Redwood Community Action Agency for the purchase of helmets for their bike rodeo at Alice Birney School.
Student Guests
Members of the Eureka High School FFA Club updated the club on their activities both locally and statewide.
Induction as Paul Harris Fellow
The club recognized Eureka Police Officer Chris Jenkins, who holds the position of Eureka City Schools Resource Officer. His induction as a Paul Harris Fellow was the direct result of his on-going help and support with our children in the Eureka City Schools. Many people from Eureka City Schools were in attendance to show support for Officer Jenkins. He was very moved and honored to accept the award.
Guest Speaker
Greg Foster introduced our Guest Speaker- Headwaters Fund Coordinator Dawn Elsbree. Also presenting were Zach Zwerdling – Headwaters Fund Board Chair and Liegh Pierre-Oetker – Headwaters Fund Board Vice Chair.
The Headwaters Fund was created in 2003 to help fund economic development with our local community. They discussed the various projects that have helped produce local jobs and stimulate our local youth into fields that our community can grow into. Their charter was also discussed to help us understand their mission within the community. Yours in service,
Aaron Tilch
