Club Announcements
- Mystery Bus Trip – October 23, 2021. The first Mystery Bus Trip was over twenty years ago organized by Lloyd De Bock. It was truly a Mystery for all, including Lloyd. For the “Wool Growers Restaurant” in Los Banos did not accept credit cards, so there was a scramble from all to find enough cash to cover the bill. Great way to start off the Mystery Bus Trip.The concept is to fill a bus with 42 adventurous people and only the bus driver and the organizers know where they are going. The trip is normally planned for October to enjoy the beautiful autumn weather. Along the way there are refreshments, Wine and snacks to enjoy with the adventure. The trip to the destination is planned to confuse and to enjoy the autumn scenery. Along the expedition there are numerous guess by participants to the final destination and there may be some fake out stops. In the past the destinations have been the Foothills, the Delta, East Bay, North to Sacramento, and South to Los Banos. Sometimes there is Wine Tasting, a tour of a Castle or activities such as Bocce Ball, or a Street Fair to enjoy. So, sign up and don’t miss The Rotary Mystery Bus Trip it fill up fast!!!

Guest Speaker
Speaker: Lisa Lawrenson, Interim Delta College Vocational Programs and Business Outreach.
Introduced by: Blain Bibb
Blain thanked Dr Lawrenson for presenting to our Club after only being on the job for four (4) days. Her experience certainly qualifies her for this position and the Club members were excited to her what she has learned in her current position as assis-tant and now interim Superintendent.
Dr. Lawrenson provided many personal experiences of her time at Delta College from the time she was working on her dissertation through her teaching and now in her administrative leadership role.
Her summary of Delta College’s broad list of educational curriculums was informative and made us proud of the institution most of us have used from time to time.
The Delta College plans for central campus improvements in Mountain House, Lodi, and Stockton will require a new bond act in 2022. A plan to promote this program and its benefits is in the works.
Based on the number and quality of questions asked by Rotarian, the Club was very engaged in Dr. Lawrenson presentation and hope that she becomes the permanent Superintendent.
Next Meeting: October 13, 2021
Jay Wilverding, San Joaquin County Administrator, “County Administrator’s role in County government”
Jay Wilverding, San Joaquin County’s former auditor-controller, was tapped by the Board of Supervisors last month to permanently step into the role of county administrator.
The eight-year county veteran sat at the dais for the first time Tuesday during the board’s regularly scheduled meeting. Wilverding officially started in his new position March 29.
The county searched for several months to find a replacement for former County Administrator Monica Nino, who tendered her resignation effective Jan. 1 for the same post in Contra Costa County. Retired County Administrator Manuel Lopez was brought back by the board in February to serve as an interim until the vacancy could be filled.
“Welcome on board,” Chair Tom Patti said after the board voted 3-2 at its March 23 meeting to approve Wilverding’s four-year contract.
Wilverding said he was humbled by the opportunity and recognized his appointment will impact the county for years to come.
“I don’t take that responsibility lightly,” Wilverding said. “I do want it to be a positive impact, and I promise everyone that I will do my best to make that happen.”
