1 WSRC #69 ** Anniversary Dinner 2/22/18 ** WSRC#69 Chips from the Buzzsaw The Weekly Newsletter of the Rotary Club of West Sacramento Our Program: PDG Barry Kaler explains ROTOPLAST Meeting Summary Members were treated to a moving and informative look into one of the most life-changing projects Rotarians have undertaken, as Past District Governor Barry Kaler described ROTOPLAST, the mission to surgical correction of cleft-lip and cleft-palate conditions. In pursuit of Service Above Self. Few efforts can match the immediate, personal and lasting impact of the Rotoplast Mission. Doctors, health care professionals and Rotary laypeople of all stripes come together to provide cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries for people in areas where such care is not readily available. For most patients, correcting both a disfigurement and a functional disability improves their quality of life immediately, and tremendously Barry described in very moving and personal terms his experience on one such Mission. As Quartermaster, he assured that supplies and personnel were on the ground and ready. Rotary is lucky to have such a logistical pro in it s ranks. ROTOPLAST is just one way we can make a difference, internationally. Volume 69, Issue #26 January 19, 2018 Meeting Schedule 1/26/18 Jesse Salinas Yolo County Assessor 2/2/18 Groundhog Day!

Dick Marshall brought his girlfriend Hannah and a happy smile to the meeting, on his way to Aptos. Dan Ramos and Heine Roikjer flank Heine s daughter Bjork, who is so frequent a guest that at this point she should just join the Club. Lee Harris adds color to the meeting as she applauds something. A warmly dressed Tim Kwong makes an excellent point and President Elect Troy Francis Bird points out his excellent connections with the Man Upstairs. 2 more chances to enter the Rotary Superbowl Pool.
