Hello Nevada City Rotarians and Friends!

We were greeted by rain again this weekend; but we have sunshine and beautiful blooms for our walk through the tulips today - Monday. Remember to grab a friend, carpool, and dress for the weather and the photos—the cost is a donation of $10. Check out the story below.
 
We welcome back our Mexico travelers. The photos look like you made memories for yourself and the kids. We are looking forward to hearing your stories.
