POSTPONED - TBD WATCH FOR DETAILS

While we are looking forward to an energizing keynote by Rotary International Director Vicki Puliz, due to the latest snow storm our Area 4 Foundation Dinner is being postponed. Watch our Rotario for updates.

A long-time Rotary member from the Rotary Club of Sparks and our own District 5190, Vicki is a vibrant energizer and fabulous speaker.  Vicki serves as the Rotary International Director for the term 2021-2023, one of 17 directors from around the world. In 2022-2023, Vicki is a member of the Board’s Executive Committee, chair of the RI Participant Experience/Program Committee, and Board liaison to the RI Strategic Planning Committee and Youth Advisory Council.  A proud member of the Rotary Club of Sparks, Nevada, Vicki served as club president in 2004-2005, as Governor for District 5190 in 2013-2014, and as a Rotary Public Image Coordinator 2016-2019.

Vicki’s passion for leadership development has led to involvement in many aspects of education and development including District Trainer for District 5190, International Assembly Training Leader, Governor Elect Training Seminar (GETS) chair, and faculty and Education Chair for Far West President Elect Training (PETS).

Her most impactful experiences in Rotary are those involving youth: Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), co-creation of a leadership program for 12–13-year-olds, Rotary Youth Exchange, and introduction of experiential team building processes to a RYLA camp in Benin, Africa. 

For those not going to Los Barriles!

Music in the Mountains and area Rotary clubs are again collaborating to conduct their two competitions jointly as the Rotary/Music in the Mountains Young Musicians Competition (YMC)!

Due to extended storm impacts, the Showcase Concert of finalists at St Joseph’s Cultural Center in Grass Valley has been canceled. The Rotary winner will compete at District conference on Saturday April 29.

Deputy Sheriff Dennis Haack will  present how volunteers in the Sheriff's Office offer their talents, skills, abilities and dedication to provide services to their community. Our Volunteers epitomize our Community Orientated Policing philosophy. They are involved in many aspects of our day to day operations, and continue to be an invaluable resource to the department and our community.

Consumer devices contribute to the world’s fastest growing waste stream.

The largest lithium and cobalt mines in the western hemisphere can be found in our country’s junk drawers. If we recover materials from old products, we significantly decrease society’s reliance on newly mined materials.

Solution

Redwood Materials and Rotary Clubs of Western Nevada County are co-hosting our second community Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling collection in the parking lot of the Nevada County Rood Center from 10:00am - 2:00pm on Saturday April 15, 2023.

If recycled, your lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable devices can decrease global reliance on mining and lower the cost and environmental impact of our products.
