CAMPAIGN ONE-AT-A-TIME GALA 
The Blue Waters Group is Sponsoring a Table of Rotarians!
Lisa Ferro from the Blue Waters Group has very generously sponsored a full table of Rotarians to attend the event. This means her company will pay HALF of the cost of the event for Folsom Lake Rotarians who want to attend. Let's go!
 
The mission of Campaign One At A Time is to provide positive experiences and fulfill the dreams of children fighting life-threatening illnesses one child and one campaign at a time. Campaign OAAT is an amazing organization that brings happiness to children who are battling for their very lives
 
On September 27, 2019, they will host their second annual Gala fundraiser. Held at The Falls Event Center, this year’s ‘Secret Garden’ themed evening will include a dazzling appetizer & cocktail reception and dinner, followed by entertainment and an auction.
 

Join 200+ attendees this year as we dance, laugh, and party the night away all in honor of giving back and making our communities and this world a better place one person at a time.

3 STRANDS BREAK FREE RUN

On September 28, 3 Strands Global Foundation will hold a fun run in Folsom to raise money so they can continue to combat human trafficking. Register or donate here.
 
DISTRICT CONFERENCE
Sign up for the Fall District Conference from October 25  - 27, 2019 at the Peppermill Resort in Reno, NV. Meet and learn from Rotarians from across District 5180 who are doing amazing work. Expand your Rotary and professional network. And, most of all, HAVE FUN! This is one you'll definitely not want to miss as they are planning lots of fun surprises!
 
AUTOMATE PAYMENT OF DUES
Contact our treasurer, Michael Mouriski, to set up an automatic payment of monthly dues or use the Quickbooks invoice to pay electronically. Sending checks creates extra, unnecessary work so let's be more efficient and considerate of our fellow Rotarians' time.
 
Last Week's Meeting
Leonard Simpson from the Folsom Community Emergency Response Team on AUGUST 28
At the direction of the Folsom Fire Department, Folsom CERT can be tasked to provide an emergency medical response, search and rescue, triage resources in times of emergencies. For non-emergencies, resources such as first aid tents, cooling stations for City-sponsored events such as the Folsom Rodeo are often provided. Folsom CERT also responds for Missing At-Risk Person situations. During extreme weather events, one may find CERT members making welfare checks on residents or working with public works to help reroute traffic and clear drains.
Member of the Week
This week brings us back to the one and only, Al More. Al, being our Foundation Chair, has recently raised $2000 from our club to the Rotary Foundation. Foundation giving is what enables Rotary International to fund the many large service projects all over the world, from providing light to communities that have none, to clean water projects, and, of course, polio vaccinations. Al is a generous giver, organizer, and volunteer. We love this Rotarian!
