Vocational tours, limited by COVID-19, have returned. Three recent such tours were of the Yuba College robotic welding program, the Wide Awake Geek small business support program, and the Sutter County Museum. Here are some of the photos.
Rotary Club members touring the Sutter County Museum got a demonstration of a foot pump player piano by Assistant Curator Sharyl Simmons.
The museum has standing exhibits on the Nisenan Maidu who have occupied this region for several centuries prior to European discovery of the North American continent, as well as agriculture and various cultures that have developed here over the past nearly two centuries.

Dan turned the controls over--temporarily--to Rotary Member John Weiler who, it can be reported, didn't manage to screw anything up.
