One of Rotary International's areas of focus is Protecting the Environment. In that spirit, the Rotary Club of Mammoth Lakes has chosen to sponsor a tube that allows fishermen to dispose of used fishing line in an environmentally friendly way. We adopted this Tube that's located near the dock of Pokonobe Lodge on Lake Mary in the Mammoth Lakes Basin. Pictured are Rotarians Jim Clark, Luan Mendel, Sheryl Saari, Gary Sill, and Dennis Brown

On Saturday, January 16th, the Interact Club held a trash pickup. Four club members and two advisors attended and we were able to serve our community in a safe, socially distanced manner. Although it is unfortunate that we could see the ground this time of year, we were able to cover the area between the library and the 203. Overall, it was a successful afternoon as we were able to collect several full bags of trash collectively. Thank to our advisors Joanne Hunt, Caitlin Crunk, and Maureen Fakinos for helping us organize this event.

Gary Sill is putting up our Rotary Easy-up to provide shade for customers of Roberto's Cafe who must eat outdoors due to current California state and Mono County restrctions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the ongoing complications of holding face-to-face meetings that our club normally does, we have started using a videoconferencing tool called Zoom. Zoom is a web-based video conferencing tool with a local, desktop client and a mobile app that allows users to meet online, with or without video. With it, we can choose to record sessions, collaborate on projects, and share or annotate on one another's screens, all with one easy-to-use platform. We have been using Zoom for our board meetings and regular by-weekly meetings and it appears to be working out well.
 
Members will receive an email notice from Byng or Joanne with instructions on how to join the next meeting. Stay tuned.

Mammoth Lakes Rotary stepped up to make Easter special for many needed families. Since the Covid-19 caused major layoffs at our restaurants we reached out to five restaurants in Mammoth. We asked them to identify children in need that we could make them Easter Baskets filled with goodies, candies, etc. The club members were broken into 5 teams and each restaurant had 2 families. Our local brewery gave hand sanitizer that they made instead of bourbon. We had hand made cloth masks available to the restaurants that were doing take out orders. This was an all club member participation activity. Two of our captains were new members and were excited to make this happen.

One of our auction items sold at the club's Gala Ball last October was the Children’s Fireman’s Birthday Party.  The winner, Noah, and 7 friends enjoyed a tour of the fire station directed by Chief Frank.  They had the opportunity to have a hands on experience of all the equipment and trucks. It was so fun to hear all the questions they had about the jobs of firefighters.   Then they enjoyed pizza and cake in the kitchen and lounge area of the fire department.

President Luan Mendel recently noted: "I believe I speak for all involved in saying the Diamond Masquerade Ball was a rousing success. The food and music were terrific, our celebration of Jack Copeland was a lovely moment for everyone present, and attendees successfully bid on an amazing assortment of silent and live auction items. Watching Chief Al Davis bump and grind as part of his sales pitch for "A Day at the Range with the Chief" was worth the price of a ticket all by itself. The event was also, of course, a fundraiser, and it appears from an early tally of income and expenses that we made in the neighborhood of  $6,000. Many thanks to Rich Boccia and his committee that planned event, to those who helped with set up and clean up and the event itself, and to all who attended. Well done, Mammoth Lakes Rotarians!"

Each spring the Rotary Youth Instrumental Music Contest takes place around the world and right here in Mammoth Lakes. Our local contest was held on Thursday, March 8, and club members were treated to performances by four young musicians from Mammoth High School. Junior Guy La Borde placed first in the competition with an original composition on the guitar. Tyler Goodwin, also a junior, played the tenor sax and took second. Sophomore Barrett Mannetter claimed third place with his performance on the alto sax, and another sophomore Cardiff Smith, a trumpet player, took fourth place.

 

The young men were fortunate to have three local professional musicians judging their performances. We are grateful to Mike Dostrow, Joe Gray, and Chuck Scatolini for generously giving of their time and expertise to encourage and support budding musical talents here in our community. We are also indebted to MHS music teacher Michael Hammers (not pictured), who encourages jazz band members to enter the competition and allows us to use his music classroom for the event.

 

Also in attendance were Rotarians Sarah Carmichael, Dennis Brown,  Luan Mendel (organizer of the event),  and Jim &  Shannon Clark.

Each spring Rotary clubs around the world invite young musicians to participate in a series of competitions that begin in their local clubs and progress to a national event. These instrumental music contests were created to give young people opportunities to develop and showcase their exceptional musical talents. 
On March 29, the Rotary Club of Mammoth Lakes hosted its club-level competition, which featured four talented young musicians. Winner Ari Schuldt played Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in G Minor on the piano, while second place finisher Guy LaBorde played an original composition on the bass guitar. Melanie Moyer, who took third, played Gabriel-Marie’s La Cinquantaine on the violin, and Cardiff Smith played Haydn’s Surprise Symphony Variations on the trumpet. 
All four competitors received prizes, and Ari Schuldt advanced to the next level of competition. The audience and judges were inspired and entertained by the music these young people created. Congratulations to all!

Good afternoon Rotarians and Friends,
I am very excited to announce the two newest Rotary scholarship recipients.

The first award was presented to a member of MLHS Interact Club. This award recognizes a graduating student who has been involved in the Rotary Interact Club while exhibiting high standards in leadership and community service, along with a strong academic performance.

Alexis Brode is our Interact scholarship awardee. Alexis has been an active member of Interact by participating in school and community (local and international) service projects during high school. She has helped raise funds for people in need. She exhibits strong leadership skills and is a pleasant young lady with great potential. Alexis lives the true spirit of Rotary.

The second award was designed to compliment the Mammoth Lakes Foundation Scholarships for MLHS students continuing to Cerro Coso Community College. Our scholarship provides an award to a student attending Cerro Coso with plans to continue onto a four year college. The award will FULLY pay tuition for the final two years of the degree at any Cal State or UC campus, or UNR.

Calvin Forsythe is our first recipient of this award. He has repeatedly given back to our community through volunteering to numerous sport and festival events, and at our local hospital. He has helped raise funds for various community service organizations. Calvin has an outstanding academic and athletic track record. He has been a role model to younger athletes. Calvin is a local kid with a local heart. We will likely see him back in our community after completing his degree. We can count of him to continue to give back in the true spirit of Rotary.

Congratulations to both of our awardees. And, a big thank you to our committee members and membership for their role in making these awards happen. We should feel very proud of these accomplishments.
