Meetings for November

Posted by Ken Macy on Nov 12, 2025

In general, we meet the second and fourth Thursday evenings of the month at 7:00pm, Scopazzi's restaurant, Boulder Creek; and the first and third Wednesday mornings of each month at 8:00am at the SLV USD District Office Multi-Purpose Room at 325 Marion Ave, Ben Lomond. However, there are exceptions, especially in the months with major holidays (I'm looking at you Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's & Fourth-of-July), so be sure to check the Club meeting calendar via the link above if there's any doubt. I try to keep the calendar accurate for the current Rotary year. Of course you can always contact our club secretary, Beth Gemeny Thaxton, for more information. Also, there is usually an informal social time amongst members & guests for 20 to 30 minutes before the bell.

Thursday, November 13, 7:00pm Scopazzi's Restaurant, Sangita Seshadri, Saratoga Rotary Club
Wednesday, November 19, 8:00am SLV USD Offices, Speaker Chris Schiermeyer, Superintendent SLVUSD

Directly following the Trick-or-Treating in Boulder Creek, Friday 10/31, the club hosted a social meeting for members and guests that featured a Costume Contest. President Eugenio will preside over the judging and will present a suitable prize to the winner. This was at our regular meeting place at Scopazzi's in Boulder creek.

A primary goal of his this year (similar to others in the past!) is membership. The district is now 3,000 members, while in the not too distant past it was 4,000.
