A new member orientation session to help members learn some Rotary history and committee assignments and 2. A social event with a potluck!

Service Task Force Update
If you missed the meeting last Tuesday, please take moment to review the work that was presented by the Service Task Force that outlines the areas of focus the club may use to establish our big service projects. The committee would like to know if the categories register with the club as a whole. You can click HERE to review their PowerPoint with all of the information on water, strengthening families and youth. Once you are up to speed please click the button below to take a short survey.

California Wildfire Disaster Relief
 
If you are interested in helping those in need from the California Wildfires you can click the links below for info from Rotary clubs that have disaster relief funds. According to the Red Cross, the agencies supplying aid are overrun with items, so they are primarily asking for monetary donations, although District 5300's page lists essential items that are also of use.
