~Upcoming Projects~

Boat in the Harbor
We will have a project to refurbish a boat to serve as a sign for the Harbor. While our members will be cleaning, painting and fixing up the boat we will be having a party following or during the work in April. All members should plan on helping on this worthy project.

Mammal Center Exercise Pool
During May we plan to install an exercise pool at the Marine Mammal Center so that Lanni mammals learn to swim. A party should be in order for this project as well. Feel free to bring your family to join in the fun.
 

International Project
Kirk Brown, District Governor elect has brought us a project from the festival of Brotherhood in Mexico. We will learn more about this project next week.

Rotary Dictionaries for Kids



 2008-2009 Fund Raising Project

Members in our club will be selling tickets for this Zap Electric ATV and a BroilMate 4 Burner Gas BBQ so we can purchase new dictionaries to give to every third grade student in Del Norte County. Our committee members will hand-deliver them to every school in our school district. The drawing will be October 11, 2008 at the Sea Cruise Car Show. Our goal is a simple one: we wanted to encourage children to be curious about learning and to help them incorporate reading into their lives. For some children, receiving the dictionary meant receiving the first book they have ever owned.

Community Project

It started Friday 10/17/03 at 8:00 am and ended Saturday 10/18/03 by noon. The Del Norte County Historical Museum has a new lawn sprinkler system installed. We had 3 days set aside for this but it only took 1 1/2 days. Yes, we as Rotarians got down and dirty as we busted our buns by putting this beautiful system in that will keep the lawn green throughout the year. Rotarians Nick Gargaetas, Darryl Norenberg, Kees Oostra, Russ Kinikin, Karen Kiniken, Gary Gillespie, Nan Udell, Michelle Arvonen,  Kirk Brown, (PREZ) Edwin Jenesky, and Gene Schach all pitched in to make this project a success. Weather was great and I must say we are good at what we do! After we finished we jammed down to Perlita’s Mexican Restaurant for a great meal that made us all holding our bellies. Great finish to a job well done. A special thanks goes to Kees Oostra for the design and time spent getting this project going. Thanks, so much to Crescent ACE Hardware for donating all the materials at cost and the donation of the trencher machine that helped so much digging trenches needed to lay all the pipe. Thank you Russ Kinikin for coordinating the donation for us. I know all Rotarians in the club wanted to be there to help but obligations made it difficult, but a thanks goes to all who had it in their thoughts.
