Our Program: Chris Worden, Future Ready
Chris Worden, CEO of Future Ready gave an informative presentation on his
organization’s strategy to connect students studying engineering, science and
technology to work-based learning internships and job training.
Future Ready is a non-profit dedi-
cated to bringing business owners
and young adults entering the pro-
fessional work force together
through mutually beneficial intern-
ship programs. Junior and senior
high school students in the Engi-
neering, Science and Technology
Academy at River City High School
are provided high-quality, work-
based learning opportunities that align with their curriculum.
Through paid internships with local engineering, science and advanced-
manufacturing companies, students will be prepared for success in an entry
level job and/or post-secondary education. Employers will benefit by having
increased access to a local labor pool that has completed industry-relevant
academic coursework and has previous on-the-job experience. Interns re-
ceive “digital badges”, like a modern-day merit badge, to demonstrate their
proven competence in skill sets most in demand by today’s employers.

Delta High School Students of the Month Brenna Romo and
Celine Rubalcava, with Principal (and visiting Rotarian) Laura
Uslan
Celine is a junior and is the ASB Spirit Chair.
Brenna is a senior and is the ASB President.
Both students gave an update on events and ac-
tivities at Delta. Our Student of the Month Pro-
gram is skillfully managed by Joanie Kapell
and JoAnn Moffit. Thanks, Joanie, for intro-
ducing the students and thanks to both of you
for your ongoing efforts on behalf of the Club.
(clockwise from right) Andy Wallace sets the tempo as he
leads us in a “seasonal” song. Ike Parsons and Jeff Post
impatiently await the (late) start of the meeting. Dustin
Dumars (filling in for Chris Bradford) and Peter Ander-
son man the business table (note the time on the clock) and
someone hastily checks the deck to assure the Joker really
is in the deck before the “door prize” drawing happens...

SUPPORT THE CHRIST-
MAS BASKET PROJECT IN
WEST SAC!!
Tim Carnahan models the “Mad Hatter”
look as he collects for the Christmas Basket
Project.
West Sacramento Rotary has been helping
with the project since its infancy. For 23
years in a row the club has increased the
amount of its donation.
Benefiting are 650 West Sacramento sin-
gles and families, many of them elderly, who
have signed up to receive a box of assorted
food items as 'Christmas baskets.
Remember to give! You can also write a
check to either the Christmas Basket Project
or to the Rotary Club and have a record of
your donation for your taxes.
! D O N A T E !
We will pass the hat at four consecu-
tive meetings before Christmas. All
the money that is raised is then
matched by the club and then given to
the Christmas Food Basket Project.
Each year our club has set a record
for funds raised for this project..
Counting backwards from the week
before Christmas for four meetings.
Tim Carnahan and Marty Garozzo
have managed and promoted this wor-
thy effort on behalf of the Club. Dig
into your pockets this Holiday Season
and chip in when Tim and Marty pass
the hat
