On Saturday, January 14th, Pleasanton North Rotary members and supporters staffed the Rotary booth at the annual "Make a Difference Festival" event, held at the Pleasanton Library.
Throughout the busy four-hour event there was a constant stream of Pleasanton and Tri-Valley citizens young and old alike, looking to engage with Rotary and make their own unique contribution to community service.
Our booth at the event had something for everyone:
Pleasanton students learned about scholarships, speech contests, the exchange program, RYLA and of course the Interact Club at their high school.
Working professionals and retirees checked out the work and community support we do locally, regionally and farther afield, as they consider attending and joining our club.
For others with a unique background or affiliation, including the many groups exhibiting at the Festival, we discussed having the organization's leader potentially coming to speak at an upcoming PNR meeting.
From beginning to end, the booth was a beehive of activity and interested citizens looking to "put a little bit in" and make a difference.
Thanks to all who helped in some way, and especially to Mark Linsky, Lara Golden and Nagisa Smalheiser for taking time out of your busy schedules to staff the booth.
