IMMIGRATION
LAW
 
 
Immigration is in flux, hear what an expert attorney can offer for immigration services.
Moira Todd is inducted into Reno South Rotary by President Doug & sponsor Dan Carne.  Moira is pronounced "mora"  like the Italian phrase "some more-a please."  She moved to Reno from Virginia Beach and began looking for a way to get involved.  She found Reno South Rotary through Dan Carne's invitation.  Moira is a facilities manager for CB Richard Ellis with 98 full service leases in her portfolio.  Only one is in Reno but she really only has to travel to one 40k sq ft site in AZ.  She said that she knew she had found the right club when while working our club events even before joining she kept getting asked, "Do you like wine?"  Welcome Moira to Reno South Rotary.
President Doug Rands was brought to his knees by his computer in week two!
Doug eventually exorcised President Jonnie's spirit and sent it back to Microsoft purgatory, which brought his PC back to a productive state.  Fun times!  And he didn't even break a sweat.
Nathaniel Chellman is the ice man
Ice cores provide a direct climate record dating back 800,000 years.  To collect the samples you go to Greenland or Antarctica where it is really cold, -17f in the summer!  Everything freezes - your toothpaste, food, water, everything.  He is a doctoral candidate preparing his thesis at DRI and uses a laboratory of precision instruments to find sulfur, carbon and salt which reveal an evidence trail of temperatures and atmosphere over the eons.  And yes, the temps are up when the CO2 is up.  
 
After tough questioning he revealed that they end up with some surplus ancient ice in the analysis process and rather than throwing it into the desert to melt, they occasionally pour a beverage over it with a snap crackle and pop result from the highly compressed air bubbles trapped inside.  Very refreshing I am sure!  Thank you "soon to be Dr." Chellman for a fascinating presentation.
Oktoberfest 2017 happens September 23rd
Ann Potts and Matt Buehler are running the Silent Auction this year.  Silent Auction items are the key to our fund raising success.  Check out the Silent Auction email coming your way soon.  It will lead you through an easy process to choose the auction item you want to give.  You can buy it or ask for a donation.  Save the date and jump to help when asked.
Know Your Rotarian
Pres Doug's fickle finger of fate led to Dan Carne who was the first winner in President Doug's "Know Your Rotarian" game.  We learned that Dan is a "mostly retired" architect and is married with two grown kids and 6 grandkids.  He joined Rotary in 1983 when a friend invited him to.  It suited him and he is a past president of our club among the many other things he is constantly doing to serve.  Dan was elected to and served on the Washoe County School Board in quieter times and three members that he has sponsored into our club have served our club as president. Great job Dan in telling your story.  Be ready!  You could be next.  Dan is now in the pool to win a prize - you have to play the game to be entered.
