Celebrating Rotarians and Clubs

The Area 4 Rotary Foundation recognition event will showcase not only those Rotarians that have contributed to the foundation but also some of the international projects our local clubs have worked on over the last few years, with funding from The Rotary Foundation.

Many of our members may be interested in international projects but their clubs might not be aware or interested in investing in this kind of project. Three Rotarians from two clubs will talk about their international projects and attendees can see if they or some in their club might be interested.

Joanne Ashford from the Rotary club of Grass Valley South will present their project partnering with Operation Snow Leopard. This international organization helps to facilitate the safe evacuation and resettlement of Afghans allies. Joanne will explain how her club connected with the organizations and the steps they took to help fund their program.

Lynda Guthrie of the Rotary Club of Nevada City will discuss her club’s international project to provide menstrual hygiene kits to indigenous girls in Chiapas Mexico.  Carolyn Feuille, also of the Rotary club of Nevada City, will discuss their partnership with the Rotary Club of Los Barilles Cabo Este. Since 2015, the Nevada City club has worked on projects with this club that is made up of Mexicans, American and Canadians.

This casual afternoon will feature appetizers and provide an opportunity to fellowship with clubs of Area 4, Western Nevada County.  Cost is $35 per person. Sign up with your club by November 13.
