Carson Costa has always had a healthy fascination for the world and all its intricacies, and travel has been a central pillar in his life.  He graduated from UNR in 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, and along the way was lucky enough to do a couple of foreign exchange programs, including Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) - a year-long immersive program.  Carson is co-president of ROTEX, a society of past Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) alumni who engage with current Inbounds and Outbounds to better their exchange experiences.  Carson will share with us his experiences, and how he sees ROTEX as potential future Rotarians - the next generation - who have first hand Rotary experience.

Tim Johnston, V.P. of Outreach for BBB serving Northern Nevada and Utah, will discuss ways to prevent falling for scams, fraud, and how important it is to use the BBB as a resource.

Past District Governor Dave Gallagher, (District 5220), will be telling us about the Romanian Hospital Equipment Project we will be supporting with a Rotary Global Grant, and learn more about what our Rotary Foundation does in the world.

Wondering what drinks will pair best with your holiday meal?  Travis, with Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, will share his expertise about Non-Alcoholic and Alcoholic varieties, as well as Sparkling Water.  Along with our delicious buffet luncheon, Travis will pour complementary glasses of your choice, and tastings, to enjoy with your meal.  What a better way to elevate your holiday meal than with expertly-chosen pairings.  Come "Wine-Down" on Wednesday and enjoy! 

Don't forget that we're having picture day next week!

Join President Paula as we tune-up our tools at this week's meeting!  We will have fun with Randy Rascati taking our club photo; a visit from a few special guests, and learn what our members have been up to this year!

Everyone deserves a place to call home.  Right now more than 100 million people around the world have lost their homes to disaster and conflict.  We are working to change this.  By providing emergency shelter, tools and household supplies to displaced families after disaster, we enable families to begin to rebuild and recover, transforming despair into hope.  Dave will tell us about the organization, and the life-saving shelters, essential tools and supplies, that will enable them to rebuild their homes and transform their lives after disaster.
