We said goodbye to Natalie Huie who is leaving for Taiwan on Saturday. She is grateful for our help and hopes to immerse herself in Taiwanese culture, and become fluent in Mandarin.
Guest Speaker: Brian McClatchey, esq.
Mr. McClatchey and his law firm represent the Graton Tribe. He gave a brief overview of how Tribal Law is individual to each nation, and Federal Indian Law comes from the United States Government. The Federal Government precludes States relationships to Tribes. The Federal Government has unrestrained power over Tribes. California has had a uniquely bad history of selling off tribal lands and is now trying to restore lands. Graton was terminated then restored in 2000 and affects 5 local tribes. The US Government still owns the lands of reservations. Gaming has become an important source of income because tribes cannot impose property tax. In determining whether tribal gaming can begin, it must be determined that the gaming will be beneficial to the tribe and that it will not be harmful to the neighbors.

RYLA students share their stories
Member Mike Rausch provided an inspiration from Nelson Mandela in honor of our youth-focused meeting.
INSPIRATION: Mike Rausch- Nelson Mandela “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Heather Cullen lead us singing “This land is your land” with her teacher visual strategies.
Today’s guests included RyLA students-Kai, Cynthia and Ava, Windsor high school college and career counselor Jennifer Taddei, and outbound student-Natalie. Natalie was selling more of her beautiful baked treats!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Doug reminded us that our role as Rotarians is to ‘make a difference’.
A special happy 40th anniversary for Bill Bolster’s 40th birthday. He said “age is just a number and mine is unlisted.”
Renee-Allison Stanfield, former exchange student is the US representative for Rotex to the board.

Sandie Krutz announced that inbound exchange student needs a ride to Eureka on Aug. 18. Please let her know if you are available.
Jo Timmsen announced that she has been sky diving for 50 years and is now a certified foundation sky diving judge. Congratulations!
Membership chair Maureen Merrill lead an activity to engage members in membership drive. It is a time to rebuild. Many hands make light work. Members generally fall into one of 3 leadership areas when it comes to recruiting new members. There are the inviters who get things going up front; there are the expediters who get things done behind the scenes; and the mentors big picture get things right. Maureen invited up Jeff as an example of an inviter and Renee as an expediter. She then divided club into groups by colors. Each team committed to bringing in one new member. Great work Maureen! We can do this!
SPEAKER: Pegi Ball introduced RYLA students Kai, Cynthia, and Ava. They began their presentation with a message from RYLA director Cassie thanking all who made the event happen.
Kai began telling us that RYLA was the most impactful camp he has attended in his life, even more so than the camp he attended at Yale. The accommodations were rather rustic compared to others. However, RYLA created a community and environment which fostered deep connections. Students felt completely comfortable, welcome, and safe.
Cynthia shared that everything she learned at RYLA prepared her for all other camps and for everything she will be doing for her senior year. The counselors were really awesome, and she expressed a special appreciation for Tom Boylan, Jennifer Strong, Carol Martin, and Pegi Ball.
Ava stated that it is a really hard time for teenagers. She found great inspiration in meeting others with similar values and creating emotional connections. RYLA tremendously changed her life for the better.
The students said RYLA Norhern California is vastly different from other RYLA programs and is the best in the country. It is run by alumni. The students made a deep connection with the camp leaders. The speakers talked about professions they hadn’t heard about before, how to lead, how to get jobs.
They showed a fantastic video of the highlights of the week. In the video students were asked to complete the sentence “My community needs a leader like me”. The responses were varied but the overriding themes were environment, diversity, connection, mental health, making the world a better place.
Favorite aspects of RYLA included speakers addressing such topics as social media, identity, and problem-solving skills. Camp counselors talked about their own professions and life paths, providing important guidance for the problem solvers of tomorrow.
These future leaders found it to be a profound experience, pushing students out of their comfort zone, exposing vulnerabilities and creating tremendous growth.
These kids are very interested in starting an Interact club at their school. They are an inspiration and provide hope for the future.
Doug closed with words of encouragement and support from Rotary to young people. He encouraged the club to support interact. He reminded us that we are the home club for the district governor and will have work to do. He gave a heartfelt thank you to thank all who helped make the meeting possible.

Speaker: - Kate Smith
Beth Smith introduced her daughter, Kate, who has returned fro her year in Kanazawa, Japan and is preparing to go to Grand Canyon University where she will be studying to become a teacher with focus on teaching English as a second language.
Kate reviewed the process that she experienced in preparing for her year abroad which include waiting for an extra year! During that year she took advantage of the time to learn German (her intended first destination before Covid) and then Japanese.
When in Japan, she mentioned that she lived with four families each of whom have an obligation to Rotary to take two exchange students if their child is able to do an exchange through Rotary. While abroad, Kate mentioned that she spent many hours walking on a daily basis such that she could photograph and familiarize herself with Kanazawa. Visiting 63 cafes and 25 restaurants, it appears that she was able to get to know much of her “adopted” city!! She was able to photograph and experience Kanazawa through the many physical changes of the seasons,, including the booming and unblooming cherry trees. She acknowledged that some of the seasonal changes, including snow, presented some challenges in her daily walks.
Kate gave a little history of Kanazawa noting that it is an older city that was not impacted by the war. As a result few accommodations have been instituted for individuals who are wheelchair users. She made noted that the roads were built to be used by horcses
Kate spoke of her interest in learning how to speak Japanese (which sounded pretty good to all of us!) and to learn the “Chinese” symbols. She was also able to share many of the American holiday traditions with her families, including dying and hiding Easter eggs. Thanksgiving, Halloween, and a Christmas meal. She made note that her family sent her the ingredients to be able to make Halloween cookies, gingerbread houses and her grandmother’s special cookie recipe!!
Kate took on the challenge of learning how to use the trains, get together with other Rotarians, choose her kimono, cook and establish friends with whom she is maintaining a “pen pal” relationship. She spoke of taking on a leadership role with the other members of her cohort.
She did quite a bit of travel including trips to Osaka, Hiroshima and Kyoto. She expressed gratitude to both her families in Japan and to the Rotary club for being able to have such an amazing experience.
At the end of her presentation, Kate was asked a few questions which included “What stands out” for her experience in Japan. Her responses included the friends that she made and the Japanese Culture! She also stated that some of her preconceived ideas regarding the Japanese were “serious and studious” were “blown out of the water.” She noted that oftentimes she would see people sleeping in class, at Rotary meetings, on the street and the library. She mentioned that this behavior is acceptable and that the teachers are lenient. She just acknowledged an awareness that “everyone is different” no matter where they live!
She completed her presentation by giving a Rotary flag from her Japanese club to President Doug and expressed gratitude to the Windsor Club for allowing her to have such a wonderful experience. She reiterated the message that Rotary encourages “Teaching Peace One student at at time.”
President Doug closed the meeting by mentioning that he had been in Japan in 1971 with Bill Conklin for a (Boy Scout) World Jamboree. A round of thanks to all who assisted in setting up and organizing the meeting!

District, first attending Cali Calmécac and presently Windsor High School. She is planning to
attend San Diego State, majoring in bi-lingual liberal studies and plans to become a
Kindergarten school teacher.

Speaker: Reverend Mary Beene
Reverend Mary Beene has been the Pastor at the Presbyterian Church in Windsor for the last
three years, when she came to Windsor to interview for the position the town was being
evacuated due to the Tubbs fire, she accepted the position and started her job February of
2020, just weeks before the COVID lock down. Mary is a “Jump in with both feet” kind of gal
and Mary more than rose to the challenge. Churches services were held via Zoom, and she
became aware people were really struggling with the covid crisis.
The church had a small food pantry when she arrived and when covid first hit it was suggested
they shut it down, seeing the growing need Mary with 4 woman not only kept the food pantry
open but were able to provide more than double the families with needed food and clothing.
With Covid behind us Mary has been able to jump into the community she is the Director of the
Windsor Food and Toy Drive, board member at People 4 Parks in Windsor, a managing force at
the Love Wins in Windsor Pride Festival and instrumental in People 4 Parks Charlie Brown
Christmas Tree Grove.
Mary has also created BREAD BOARD, a teen based group, (Build Relationships with Empathy
and Dignity) and now the pantry, aka; Pantry and Clothes Closet, is open every Tuesday
morning 9am-12noon.
Mary is presently looking at the issue under the oaks behind the church that has a bad drainage
problem; she is working on preserving the Oaks and creating a safe space.
Mary is also working with People 4 Parks to create a park designed for children with disabilities.
Reverend Mary’s accomplishments, goals and previous attributes are too numerous to mention
all here, but it is without question Windsor is blessed with such a dynamic citizen that is willing
to jump in with both feet to not only to meet , but exceed the needs of the community.
Mary acknowledges everyone is busy but suggests we Jump Feet First Together meet new
friends and work together.
President Doug thanked Mary, Pam and all our visitors for coming and thank you to all the
Rotarians that helped put the meeting together.
Meeting adjourned @ 8:30am
