RECOGNITION & AWARDS - OCTOBER 9, 2013

Guests: Marc Meier of Mechanics Bank joined us once again -- glad to have you with us, Marc! How about making it a habit (Marc is a member of Concord Rotary currently).

Years of Service: Robert Berber is celebrating 5 years of service with Orinda Rotary.  Jose Avelar recruited Robert after one of the Reno Train Trips -- and he was hooked!  Robert continues the spirit of that original train trip with his Rotary Poker  (and Bridge) Nights.  Thanks for your service (and the $10!), Robert!

Marshall Johnson passed the 10-year mark with our club -- we are grateful for your active support, Marshall!

Induction of New Members: President Sue was pleased to introduce two new members to the Club, Angela Warren and Parveneh Poirier, of Land Home Financial.  Welcome, ladies!  It is great to have your support and involvement!  Sue presented both women with a red badge -- signifying rookie status until they complete the few requirements that come with the territory.  We're sure they will meet and exceed expectations!

Special Recognition: Dick Burkhalter presented President Sue with her very own "Rotary At Work" T-shirt, since she didn't have one to wear as a parking attendant at the annual Olive Festival at Wagner Ranch.  No doubt she will get a lot of use out of it!
