Community Service Project on Saturday, August 8, 2020

Who says you can't do a service project to help the community with COVID-19 running rampant? Our Communit Service Chair, Laura Williams, and Foundation Chair, Nancy Pollard, helped rally volunteers and donations of socks, underwear, toothpaste, shampoo, and other essentials to be distributed by our club to the Bakersfield Homeless Shelter in the coming week. Our club members were able to catch up while practicing social distancing and wearing their face masks. Way to go Bakersfield Twilight. A great start to our service projects for the year.

August 5, 2020 Zoom Club Meeting

We held another great meeting on the evening of Wednesday, August 5, 2020. Thanks to our own, Jim and Donna Bell, our guest speaker was Mr. Steven G. Lingenbrink, Rotary Coordinator for Zone 27. Mr. Lingenbrink has spent countless hours on Zoom this year and, prior to the lock-downs, spent many miles in the air and on the road speaking to District Assemblies, PETS Training, Governor-Elect and Governor-Nominee training and countless Club meetings over the past three years, all with the purpose of improving membership in Rotary. He discussed with us ways to effectively hold a club meeting over Zoom and then it was followed by a Q & A with our club members. Thank you to Mr. Lingenbrink and his wife, Mrs. Terri Lingenbrink, for joining us.

Club Zoom Meeting - July 8, 2020

Below is the video of our Club's Zoom meeting on July 8, 2020. During our meeting, the board and officers were introduced. The new Rotary theme for this year is Rotary Opens Opportunities. Our President, Li Gibbs' motto for her Rotary year is #WeDoItAtNight. She picked this motto because it is very surprising how there are no other evening club like ours in Rotary. After going over our goals for the year, Jeremy gave us interesting facts about Catalonia where Barcelona is located. We saw some beautiful pictures and answered some cool trivia questions. Who knew that Barcelona did not have any beaches before 1992? Great job Jeremy.

Rotary International President Message

Below is a video message from Rotary International President for 2020-2021, Holger Knaack. President Knaack is a member of the Rotary Club of Herzogtum Lauenburg-Molln, Germany. Mr. Knaack believes that the People of Action campaign offers new public awareness possibilities for Rotary. "This campaign conveys our global image while still respecting differences in regions and cultures," he says. Mr. Knaack is the CEO of Knaack KG, a real estate company. He was previously a partner and general manager of Knaack Enterprises, a 125 year-old family business. He has been a Rotary member since 1992.

Club Meeting via Zoom - June 10, 2020

Posted by Tony Azemika

On June 10, 2020, we had another Club meeting via Zoom. Our Past-President, Kat, talked about her greatest challenge being doing some renovations to the club to patch things up as the club was getting older. Some club members moved out of town and we lost some members. Her greatest accomplishment was that the Club took a step into the spotlight. We were one of the youngest club of the district and we had an astronaut come and talk to the club.

Past-President, Jeanne Tunnicliffe, joined us from her new hometown. According to her, her biggest challenge was the growth of the club and changing locations. Her greatest accomplishment during her Presidency was all the individual things that were done to get the presidential citations such as birthday bags and packing meals.

Club Zoom Meeting - June 3, 2020

On June 3, 2020, some Centennial High School Interact members joined us along with their advisor, Sheila McLeod, for our Club meeting that took place via Zoom. Laura Williams read a very appropriate quote from Martin Luther King, Jr. as her inspirational moment. We wishes Alma happy birthday which is actually tomorrow. Both Anselmo and Jeremy talked about their experience as past-presidents of the club.

Brad reported that we received eight applications for scholarship and we have picked two nominees, Christian Munoz who wants to become a Civil Engineer and attend University of Alabama and Earl Garrovilla who wants to become a doctor like his mother and to attend UCLA. Both of these young people are very impressive.
