Dick Fowler, a member of our District's Youth Protection Committee, will be joining us to provide info on what youth protection certification is all about and why we need to talk about it in Rotary.  Dick will ensure we all know what to do when faced with an ethical situation involving youth in one of our programs or events.  Also, a reminder about the annual PWR Charity Golf Classic "Birdies Over Bunkers" happening on  Monday, May 18th at Valley Hi Country Club.  We need sponsors, players, volunteers, raffle prize donators, etc.  So check your calendars (to play, sponsor or volunteer) and your closets and connections (for those great raffle prizes) and help support the tournament...and local children's charities.  As Russell Prater says...it's about the kids!  Our meeting will begin at 7:30 am at Del Paso Country Club...hope to see you there!

Senate Majority Leader Angelique Ashby will be our speaker on February 27, 2026.  Senator Ashby represents the 8th District and is the first woman elected to represent Sacramento in the California State Senate in more than 20 years. Prior to joining the legislature, she was elected to the Sacramento City Council, where she served for 12 years. She was the sole woman for more than half of her tenure, and is the only member in city history to serve as Vice Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem for 8 years.  During her time on City Council, she secured millions to fund schools, community centers, parks and fire stations.
