President Steve welcomed two new members into the club, Brent Sundahl and Richelle Brozosky.

Brent was sponsored by John Messner and his classification is Medical Sales.  Richelle was sponsored by President Steve and her classification is PG&E Senior Logistical Planner.

On Saturday, July 24, Folsom Rotarians removed the old decking from the viewing area and installed new decking.  Led by Rotarian Justin Raithel, the project started at 8 am and was completed about 4 hours later.  The usual refreshments were provided by Justin.  It was great to see Past President and former member Dave Doherty join us as this project is in his neighborhood and he suggested the project to Justin.  The city provided the material for this project.
