If you had asked me to give this prayer thirty years ago on this day, 420, national pot glorification day, it probably would have gone something like this: “Oh my God, I can’t believe it’s finally legal, and it’s sooooo good thank you thank you thank you!”
But thank God times have changed for me, and I couldn’t care less about “420”
Please bow your heads.
Heavenly Father I thank you for the opportunity to share my love for you and confess you in front of these wonderful people. In my heart I seek to please you through the works that I do with my fellow Rotarians. You know the motivations of each one of us, as you know our own hearts better than we do. I ask that you work your good work in each us so that we may in turn share your love with our fellow man, and so that we may love you more perfectly, and that we may love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
We may not be able to change the whole world, but allow us to die trying.
I thank you for the food that you have provided for us, and I pray that you will watch over each of us as we go about our day and weekend.
In Jesus name I pray and give you thanks, Amen.

COme JOin The Fun
Craig Evans hopes our PWR softball athletes sign up next week. The season may, or may not, begin on or about June 1 depending on whether enough clubs field a team.
Tom Slagle reminded us of the upcoming Lunar Lunacy ride on June 23. As always, sponsors, volun-teers, and riders are need-ed. Be so inclined and con-tact Tom.
Russ Fujji also encour-aged volunteers for Tuesday nights at Eagle Golf, which begins on May 1 at Haggin Oaks.
Drew Houghton reminded the Club of this year’s an-nual Bowling Bash to occur on April 28 at 5:30 p.m. at Mardi Gras Lanes on Madison Avenue. To spice up the event,
Carl Naake and Drew Houghton will engage in a challenge. Carl gets 25 pin bumps for their two game match. The loser will con-tribute $50 to the Point West Rotary Foundation. Did you know that Carl Naake captained the bowl-
ing team at Oregon State University for two years? Mr. President elect aka Mr. Jock.
Greg Garcia thanked the Club members who partici-pated in the tree planting done this past Saturday, April 14—more trees for a Rancho Cordova neighbor-hood, more key chains for Rotary volunteers.
Speaking of President Bixler, we were reminded of the district conference coming up on May 11 through May 13—Rick wants you there.
Desiree Wilson encour-aged members to join a bike ride from Folsom to Scott’s restaurant (38 miles if you are counting) to pro-mote goodwill, and Polio Plus. The $50 entry fee goes half to your food, and half to Polio Plus.
Bob Porter reminded us of this year’s golf tournament to be held on June 8 at Mather Golf Course. Sign-ups will begin shortly.

Lyndsay Burch
As is the Club’s good fortune, we had multiple bell ringers this morning.
Gordon Gerwig’s Hollywood moment was to honor dear daughter Greta—just named by Time Magazine as one of the most one hundred in-fluential people in 2018.
Sam Dawson-Brown rang the bell for his good fortune in being promoted to a job in the Bay Area, but to the Club’s detriment as Sam’s move means that he will be leaving the Club (but hopefully joining a club in the Bay Area).
Randy Seavers rang the bell to honor Running for Red at Sacramento City College this Saturday, April 22, in-volving 3,500 young athletes.
Jeff Devoll rang the bell to honor his non-profit work in Baja California (where 200 students built a home in short order), and his work in Nicaragua (benefiting a school and a water project).
Bob Tilly rang the bell because of his third hole in one, the latest occurring on April 13 on the eight hole of Northridge.
Finally, Dave Garese rang the bell because tomorrow is April 21 which seems to involve memora-ble dates for both Carl Naake, Dave, the Queen of England, the Stones, and the Beatles.

Also in attendance was Christine Cahill-Reams, Jerry Avila and his wife, Don Levin, Bob Tilly, Rich Fathy, Rita Gordon, Jesse Nix, Desirée Wilson and Greg Garcia who organized our team!

mission objeCtive
The mission and objective of the Grant Review Committee shall be to actively investi-gate, identify, and distribute grants to children’s benevolent organizations in the greater Sacramento Area consistent with the objectives and purpose of the Rotary Club of Point West - Sacramento. The Grant Review Committee may also consider requests from benev-olent organizations other than those benefiting children and make appropriate recommen-dation to the Board of Directors.
Definition: A children’s benevolent organization for the purpose of being considered for a Rotary Club of Point West – Sacramento grant is any 501(c)(3) organization whose pri-mary function is to benefit the health, education, welfare and safety of children and which demonstrates a genuine financial need in those specific areas, and is without finances or resources to meet those specific needs.
oPeRating guidelines
All grant awards and recommendations shall be made in accordance with operating prin-ciples, guidelines and priorities that are established by the Rotary Club of Point West - Sacramento Board of Directors and its Grant Review Committee. In general, funding re-quests are NOT considered for:

Foundation Receives Highest Rating From
Charity NavigatorFor the 10th consecutive year, The Rotary Foundation has received the highest rating — four stars — from Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator of charities in the U.S.
In the most recent rat ings, the Foundation earned the maximum of 100 points for demonstrating both strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency.
In a letter to the Foundation, Charity Navigator notes that "only 1 percent of the charities we evaluate have re-ceived at least 10 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that The Rotary Foundation outperforms other chari-ties in America. This exceptional des-ignation from Charity Navigator sets The Rotary Foundation apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness."
The rating reflects Charity Navigator's assessment of how the Foundation uses donations, sustains its programs and services, and practices good governance and openness.

In the early 1930s Herbert J. Taylor set out to save the Club Aluminum Products distribution company from bankruptcy. He believed himself to be the only person in the company with 250 employees who had hope. His recovery plan started with changing the ethical climate of the company. He explained:
The first job was to set policies for the company that would reflect the high ethics and morals God would want in any business. If the people who worked for Club Aluminum were to think right, I knew they would do right. What we needed was a simple, easily remembered guide to right conduct - a sort of ethical yardstick- which all of us in the company could memorize and apply to what we thought, said and did.
I searched through many books for the answer to our need, but the right phrases eluded me, so I did what I often do when I have a problem I can’t answer myself: I turn to the One who has all the answers. I leaned over my desk, rested my head in my hands and prayed. After a few moments, I looked up and reached for a white paper card. Then I wrote down the twenty-four words that had come to me.
I called it "The Four-Way Test" of the things we think, say or do.
Adoption Of The Test By Rotary
In the 1940s, when Taylor was an international director of Rotary, he offered the Four-Way Test to the organization, and it was adopted by Rotary for its internal and promotional use. Never changed, the twenty four word test remains today a central part of the permanent Rotary structure throughout the world, and is held as the standard by which all behavior should be measured.
The test has been promoted around the world and is used in myriad forms to encourage personal and business ethical practices. Taylor gave Rotary International the right to use the test in the 1940s and the copyright in 1954.

Suzi Dotson was our speaker this morning Director of Wind Youth Services. Wind serves 12 to 24 year old guests who are homeless in
the Sacramento area. Wind is shortly moving to their new quarters at 815 S Street to better provide their nearly 6,000 annual youth contacts. Amongst its many services, Wind provides clothing, emergency shelter, case management, street outreach, and housing (both transitional, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing). It is depressing to know that each night at least 260 young people are on the streets fending off the dangers of homelessness. Suzi’s energy in helping these kids is im-
pressive. If you are interested, Wind has a fundraiser this July 27 at its new site from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. For further details, you can contact Wind at either 916/504-3313, or 800/339-7177. As they say to military folks, thank you Ms. Dotson for your service.
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

rOTary helps DisasTer ViCTimsSevere storms, an earthquake, and hur-ricanes are wreaking havoc across the globe from the United States and Mexico to South Asia and Africa. The Rotary Foundation and Rotary clubs in affected areas are helping bring emergency aid to battered communities.
The Rotary Foundation is collecting emergency relief funds to help victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Hurricane Harvey made landfall in southeast Texas on 25 August.

Severe rainfall caused historic flood-ing along the Texas coast, including in Houston, the fourth largest city by pop-ulation in the United States. About 6.8 million people have been affected by the hurricane.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Irma is in the Caribbean and headed for Florida and the Atlantic coast of the United States. Already, the storm has directly affected 1.2 million people and millions more are in its path.
“The power of Rotary is in the Foundation’s ability to pull help from around the world while local clubs provide immediate relief in their own communi-ties,” says Don Mebus of the Rotary Club of Arlington, Texas.
Rotary districts along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana are collecting emer-gency relief funds and providing immedi-ate aid to flood victims.
“We know that a disaster of this magni-tude will require our financial assistance for months into the future,” says District 5930 Governor Betty Ramirez-Lara. “Our disaster relief committee will provide support where we believe it can best be used.”
ShelterBox, an independent charity and Rotary’s project partner, is also provid-ing support to families displaced by the storms. In Texas, hundreds of light privacy tents were deployed to evacuation centers for families to use temporarily.
ShelterBox Response Teams are in Nepal, Bangladesh, and elsewhere to assess the damage there and determine how best to help those most vulnerable.
