     Rotary is an international organization of business and professional people with clubs all over the world.  By joining Rotary you become a part of a worldwide family.  When you travel, one of the highlights will be to attend a Rotary meeting.  Your Rotary family anywhere in the world will welcome you warmly.  Rotary performs international service, like working to eradicate polio and providing water wells and medical supplies.  Our Rotary Club prides itself on its local service like Youth Programs and International Exchange, Incline Village Rotary Flower Garden, building and maintaining bus shelters, scenic benches, scoreboards, and the Lake Tahoe Overlook.  We also support many local charities.  Scroll down and you will see Opportunities for You to join in and Serve!
 
      
This Monday's Noon Meeting: The Eye Guy!
Mimageonday, September 9th at noon at the Reynolds Community Center ("RCC" where we usually meet) Co-Presidents Bridget and Judy will lead a fun meeting with the theme "Eyes".  We will have a thought for the day, pledge of allegiance, joke, and trivia all tied into the theme "Eyes."  Our fellow Rotarian, Dr. Jonathan Smith, OD, will be speaking on "Eyes." 
     In the picture to the left Jon is holding a raffle ticket.  You will be given two free raffle tickets when you arrive.  You may purchase as many raffle tickets as you want.  But DO NOT MISS THIS WEEK'S MEETING!  If you win the raffle, you will reach into a bag and you will feel just three chips!  Two are white and one is purple.  If you choose the purple chip you will win the pot, which is over $400!
     Lunch is always delicious and your Rotary friends will be there.  Hope to see you!

Opportunities for You to Serve!
We track Club Rotary volunteer hours so tell us about it when you volunteer (lurn@me.com/or text 510-334-5343)!
ONGOING:  Our Club's See's Candies Fundraiser:  Buy See's Candy online and have it delivered to your door or wherever you want to send it.  Our club will receive all the profit!  Here is the link:  https://www.yumraising.com/secure/rotaryfoi_rotary_foundation_of_incline_villag62/SpeSpe9523/

ONGOING:  Our Rotary Garden is next t to the Chevron Station on the corner of Tahoe Blvd. and Village.  Walk by and take a look!  We don't need any gardening right now, but in the Spring we will expand the garden towards the sidewalks.  Do you like to garden?  If we had more gardeners
 
Read with Me - From our club, Joan Ellen and Lu and Rick do this.  Now is Your Chance to join the program!  Thursday September 19 at 3:30 p.m. is the first Read With Me training session since last year.  Just fill out these online forms:
This is the perfect time of the school year for anybody to get active, so tell others to get in touch with John and Sharon at inclinereadwithme@gmail.com (They can accommodate new volunteers anytime during the school year, too.)
 
Hispanic Outreach Personalized Approach (HOPA).  You would be a mentor to specially selected high school students to teach them about your profession.  This would require about 30 to 60 minutes per month, October through June, coordinating with the organization and school. You would guide and support your student in exploring professional paths, applying for scholarships, building a resume, seeking letters of recommendation, and preparing for interviews.  Email Ana Porras at ana.porras@washoeschools.net and let her know what your areas of expertise are so she can look for a good match with a prospective mentee. 
 
Conversacion Cafe - THS ESL practice sessions now on Mondays from 5-6pm hosted by St. Pat’s in town. No training needed. coordinator Lucille Wang
 
Help Host Our Rotary Exchange Student - You can be a host family or “kidnap an exchange student for a day, evening, event…” opportunities this Fall with our new RYE exchange student Sarah from Germany.
 
Another way for volunteering is Club service:  Let Lu or our Presidents know if you have interest in being part of:
a) What Charities our Club donates to?
b) Club Public Relations?
c) Youth - Interact, Rotary Youth Exchange or Music and Speech contests?
d) Inviting New Members?
e) Organizing "Fireside Chats" which are socials where we learn about Rotary?
f) Vocational Service which is honoring members or community members for their vocational service?
g) Community service, which is finding or creating community service projects for our club members?
h) International service like Polio Plus or other projects and the Rotary Foundation?
i) Planning Social Activities like holiday socials?
j) Planning the Veteran’s Luncheon?
k) Greeting members and visitors to our meetings?
l) Brainstorming and inviting great speakers for our meetings?
