Tim O’Connell spoke about the Veterans Ring of Honor. They got final approvals from the city on the location and having to move underground utilities at the spot. Please check out ChicoVeterans.Org to sign up any veteran who went to Chico High; any member can purchase a brick in honor of any Veteran for the run as well. Tim showed us a Chico High Veteran of the Air Force who dedicated five years of her life to the service of her country, and though she lost a battle to cancer at a young age, her dedication, spirit and memory represent what we are honoring with this memorial.

Fine Time and Recognition

Tim O’Connell – 5 Bells – A cute photo of him and Marteen Busby’s son caused some confusion on whose baby that was! He loves that Ryle can come to the office with Marteen, and that work is going great. They are very, very busy, and he will be traveling to a dozen counties soon. Tim and wife Celia went to the Grand Canyon and will be going to Puerto Vallarta for their 30th anniversary.

 

Brett Sanders – 5 Bells – His daughter, Maya, was born on Dec 7. Brett fessed up to a funny video President Glen found on Facebook of Brett’s “athletic ability.”. His son, Isaiah, and he went to Hooked on Fishing this year. Brett is now the Butte County Representative for Congressman Doug LaMalfa and said if anyone had any issues with the government, to let him know – watch out Brett!

 

Danny Robinson – 12 Bells – He finished harvest for prunes and almonds, and rice is coming up. He and his wife went and toured their favorite part of San Francisco to get out of the heat. Danny’s father is 97, doing well, and still has his driver’s license!

 

Raffle

Tara Campbell pulled the winning ticket for 20 bucks – no Joker.

 

Program

Mike Donnelly introduced Dr. Cheuyengther Xiong (pictured below) and spoke of Dr. Xiong’s character, bravery, and ethics; calling him a man of fortitude. Dr. Xiong is a first generation Hmong American, and he described the history of the Hmong people; their terrible past in Laos; their faith to love and honor all humans and to love this country, the United States; and the hope for their future community in Oroville.

Guests feel that way, too.

That happens in Oakleaves when reporters don't get names in writing.

So ...

Please use the new guest sign-in sheet!

It's conveniently located at the Visiting Rotarians table in the lobby.

Oakleaves (with our website and social media) can serve as potential recruitment for new members.

Thank you!
