RCNS Celebrating 2004-2005

 








On March 29th our Club Meeting was devoted to a Club Assembly and the focus was on service in our communities and asking ourselves "Why are WE in Rotary?" - a useful excercise to help commemorate our 2004-2005 Year and begin thinking ahead as to plans and goals for the Year 2005-2006. 2004-2005 continues to be a fulfilling year of accomplishments led by President Jackie Bonner Ring, her Board and going on 40 hard working members and HERE THEY ARE:

All members have worked hard and had fun. Of special note at the Mar 29th and April 5th meetings we acknowledged the completion of two significant community service projects. First the MOBILE HOME SMOKE/FIRE ALARM SAFETY PROJECT originated and led by Marke Lille (center top framed photo).  And second, the Scottsdale Pond Gazebo and Landscaping project to commemorate Rotary's 100th Birthday. This project was led for our club by Mike Digiorgio (below left framed photo) in cooperation with the Novato and Ignacio Clubs. Now here is a brief summary of the work and activity of all our members.
