Night at the Museum — LESS
THEN ONE MONTH TO GO!!!
Plans are moving swiftly for our fundraiser
scheduled for Friday, April 25th at the CA
Automobile Museum.
To date, we have secured 13 restaurants and
21 wineries/breweries. W e are doing
great on wineries/breweries but NEED
MORE RESTAURANTS. Our original
goal was 15 restaurants; but with the
addition of several more wineries, it’s a
concern that we don’t have more restaurants.
PLEASE HELP!!
If you have a special restaurant you would
like featured at our event, please contact
them to see if they would be interested in
participating. Attached to the bulletin is a
complete list of vendors. If you need
additional promotional materials to solicit
participation from restaurants and/or
sponsors, replacements are available from
either Mo or Richard Hansen.
Just a reminder: All members are
asked to provide at least two (2) Balloon Pop
items. The value of each item should
be at least $20. PP Dominic Mecklenburg is
collecting those items at our weekly
meetings. If you prefer to give money,
Dominic can purchase item s on your
behalf.
WITH LESS THAN ONE MONTH TO GO,
WE STILL NEED MORE ITEMS. LET’S
GET INTO FULL GEAR. BRING YOUR
ITEMS TO NEXT WEEK’S MEETING.
SELL TICKETS!
It appears ticket sales are slow. Please turn in
any money for sold tickets to Dominic as soon
as you can so we can get an accurate picture of
how many tickets have been sold to date.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS
WEEK’S PROGRAM
PP Maureen McBride shared a cute joke
and won audience approval. She earned a
fine-free pass.
Keep those jokes coming!
JOKES
On June 3, 2014 Sacramento County
residents will have the opportunity to elect a
new District Attorney for the first time in 20
years. To help our members familiarize
themselves with the candidates, we invited
the candidates to visit our club. This week
Anne Marie Schubert w as our guest.
PP Marilee Monagan introduced Anne
Marie. Anne Marie is a Sa cr a m en to
native. She graduated from Loretto High
School and received her law degree from
the University of San Francisco Law
School in 1989. Since that time, she has
served in the District Attorney's office.
With 24 years of Law Enforcement
Experience, Anne Marie is recognized as one
of the state’s top prosecutors. As a Deputy
District Attorney, she has sent some of the
area’s most notorious and dangerous
criminals – murderers, rapists and child
molesters – to state prison.
Anne Marie cu r r en tly se r ve s a s th e
Supervising Deputy District Attorney
overseeing the Special Assault and Child
Abuse Unit. She has prosecuted over 100
jury trials including sexual assault, child
abuse, domestic violence and murder
cases. She started the Sacramento
County District Attorney’s Cold Case
Homicide Unit in 2002 which has
resulted in dozens of cold murders being
charged, prosecuted and convicted. She
started the nationally recognized
Partners Against Chronic Truancy
(PACT) program in Sacramento County
to reduce truancy in our community.
President Patrick Magnani was born in San
Francisco and grew up in Concord, CA. He
graduated from De La Salle High School in
Concord and came to Sacramento in 1999 to
attend California State University,
Sacramento where he earned a B.A. degree in
Communications with an emphasis in Public
Relations and a minor in Business
Administration.
Upon graduation from CSUS in 2002,
Patrick joined Enterprise Rent-A-Car as
a Management Trainee. In 2004, he was
promoted to Branch Manager where he
successfully managed four different offices.
He was with Enterprise for eight years and
left in 2010 to embark on his new career with
Edward Jones as a Financial Advisor.
VOCATIONAL MINUTE
THE HIGHLANDER Page 6 3/31/2014
Anne Marie e x p la in ed why she decided
to run for District Attorney. She feels her
quest stems from her roots here and from
her desire to protect the future of our
community.
Annie Marie h a s w o r k ed clo se ly w ith
the current DA Jan Scully for over 20
years and Jan has given Anne Marie her
full support.
Ms. Schubert has been a Peace Officers
Standards and Training (POST) instructor for
over 15 years in the areas of homicide and
cold case prosecution.
She was honored as Prosecutor of the
Year in 2007 and has served as a member
of the Sacramento County Child Death
Review Team and as a board member of
the California District Attorneys
Association.
Public safety matters to Anne Marie. She
wants people to feel safe in their
community. She feels that the community
will thrive if the people feel safe.
Reducing crime helps us feel safe.
While some people deserve to go to prison
for their crimes, it is also important to
prevent crime in the first place. Treating
drug problems and limiting truancy are a
good start.
The position of DA holds a lot of power
and responsibility and she doesn ’t take it
lightly.
Anne Marie is c o n ce r n e d a b o u t a
component of the law that allows
offenders with a history of serious and
dangerous crimes to be released from
prison and returned to county probation
Following her remarks, Anne Marie thanked
us for the opportunity to speak to our
members. Then, President Patrick
presented Anne Marie with a Rotary gift
in gratitude for her informative
presentation.
As is our usual custom, President Patrick
asked everyone to join him in a toast to
“Rotary around the World” and the meeting
was adjourned.
President Patrick and Anne Marie
supervision instead of to state parole
oversight. She feels it makes it tougher
to return some criminals with violent
histories to custody and to keep them
there for more than a few months if
they violate the terms of their release .
It is an important issue facing
Sacramento County.
