January is Vocation month for Rotarians around the world. Today we heard from Pocket/Greenhaven Rotarians about their vocations: Nurse/ Hospice Nurse (Ret.), Realator (Cook Realty), Home loans/Real Estate (Orbit Realty), Professor of Speech, Music Professor (Ret.), Development Manager (Solar Cookers International)/Student, Business Performance Advisor (Insperity), Elementary Administrator/Teacher (Ret.). Great meeting!

Celebrating the fifth Thursday of October with a social. Fun evening with members and guests (including our District 5180 AG Megan Ham Ellinghouse and her new husband, Leroy). Another great evening with PGR.

First social event since the pandemic began, took place the beginning of October in Argonaut Park. Jack and his wife, Leimin, provided some music for those gathered. Nice to see each other and meet our President's new bride, Jas, as well as their brand new (dog) addition to the family. Super to be outside on a lovely Sacramento evening.

Principal David Van Nattan spoke to PGR this week about the beginning of this school yer at Kennedy High School. He answered our questions about what schedules looked like, how the arts classes were actually teaching art and music. Several classes are still figuring out the best way to teach their subject but the students seem to be settling in to this virtual learning experience. An update on the current construction at Kennedy was also included in out time with Mr. Van Nattan. We all wish the teachers, students and administrators the best this year.

Time to do my jaunt around my neighbor for my part in the "Walk4Literacy Virtual Walk"!. You are welcome to join our team: Pocket/Greenhaven Rotary Rocks for Books. Just go to Walk4Literacy.org to donate for this great cause: Literacy in Sacramento!
