Past President Mark Schauss is our club’s vocational chair and has plans to give members the opportunity to share their work experiences with the club. In the past we have presented “Percationals” as short speeches during our club meetings. We want to expand that to the newsletter! Would you write a couple of paragraphs about your work? Would you like to participate in a written or video interview? Think about it. I’m going to ask you.

Recently, we received notice of a price increase at Zeppelin that we just couldn't afford.  After much discussion and consideration, we have decided that, effective with the January 14th meeting, we will be moving back to the Tamarack Junction Casino for our Tuesday meetings.

 

The RCS holiday party, held on December 10, was a truly international affair, with food from Germany and music from Hawaii and the Czech Republic.

 

Some of our longer-tenured members may remember Christina Pascucci, a local television journalist who left the club to become a reporter for KTLA, Channel 5, in Los Angeles.

 

On July 27th, Christina was awarded an L.A. Area Emmy as part of that same Channel 5 new team.  Our heartiest congratulations to Christina!

 

One of our charter members was past-president Carol Eastwick, who left our club when her husband, Jack, retired and they wanted to travel.  Carol always used to call me “the Charter Daddy”, so that moniker stuck.

 

On October 2nd, our regular meeting was held at Total Wines in Reno so club members could learn about fine Italian wines.

 

The Purple Pinkie Run is our annual fundraiser. Since it is the only fundraiser we need to put on the best event possible, and that takes everyone’s participation. Proceeds from the event go towards Polio Plus, Immunize Nevada, the RCS Foundation, and our clubs own annual philanthropic endeavors.
