Happy New Year everyone,
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. December was such a fun month. I think we all know each other's personality a lot better after our DISC personally tests. Even if the civil grand jury is out on how much we want to admit to their accuracy. My personal favorite was getting cozy with all of you in the card room to work on our drawing skills with Stephen Silver. Our Christmas party with Jews at The End of the Road was a smoking success. Thank you Chuck and Melinda for hosting it. I also want to thank those who were able to attend the 3 club bike build. Rotarians building together to help make world a better place.
Max Copenhagen and his colleague are Grand Jurors in Ventura County. They came to share exactly what they do as a Grand Juror and how to become one. Per the County of Ventura... By law, to become a grand juror a person must: (1) be a citizen of the United States, 18 years of age or older; (2) have been a resident of Ventura County for one year immediately prior to being selected; (3) be of ordinary intelligence, sound judgment, and good character; and (4) have sufficient knowledge of English to understand and report grand jury business. A person may not serve on the grand jury if he or she: (1) is currently serving as a trial juror; (2) has been discharged as a grand juror in any court in California within one year; (3) has been convicted of misconduct in office or any felony or high crime; or (4) is serving as an elected public officer.
Stephen Silver is a professional British artist, cartoonist and character designer. He is best known as the lead character designer for the animated series "Kim Possible." He's worked on much more and is also an Art Instructor. This evening, he shared how he got into this career and then we had a little fun. He gave us a quick tutorial on some character work and for about 15 minutes we were all his students. Again, it's surprising to see the amount of talent we have in our club.

Before the meeting began, Gabe had us all take a quick assessment using DISC. DISC is a behavior assessment tool based on the DISC theory of psychologist William Moulton Marston, which centers on four different personality traits which are currently Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S), and Conscientiousness (C). During the meeting Gabe explained to us what our results meant. Quite interesting to hear everyone's results and how they relate to our actual relationships.
