Point West Rotarians were out "doing good in the world" again! On Saturday, April 14th, we planted trees at the Sunriver Park in Rancho Cordova and the neighboring area. Good for the environment, good for the community! President Rick Bixler was definitely needed for his strength to pound in the stakes to hold up the trees. Also in attendance was Christine Cahill-Reams, Jerry Avila and his wife, Don Levin, Bob Tilly, Rich Fathy, Rita Gordon, Jesse Nix, Desirée Wilson and Greg Garcia who organized our team!

This is a community service event held on Martin Luther King Jr Day each year that matches teams of volunteers with well-deserving kids to assemble 50 new quality bikes. Kids in 5th - 12th grades are nominated
Point West Rotarians were out in force this holiday season serving in our community! Several members stood by the red kettle and rang the bell at Macy's at Arden Fair Mall and raised money for the Salvation Army. We also helped out at the annual Salvation Army Food and Toy Distribution at Cal Expo...providing boxes of food, bags of potatoes and chickens to those in need. Oh, and we had a lot of fun doing it all...that's how we roll!

You can DO SOMETHING.
HumanTrafficking...It's NOT OK. You can DO SOMETHING today to fight it. Check out the contact info below for more information on how you can help the District in their fight against human trafficking.
District 5180 just received official notice by The Rotary Foundation of a global grant award to combat sex trafficking in the greater Sacramento area. With the grant award and other local funding, the District has $340,000 to fight human trafficking in our community through two components: education and public awareness. The sex trafficking education program is aimed at 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th graders and will be conducted by 3Strands Global Foundation using their PROTECT program (http://3strandsglobalfoundation.org/get-involved/education/).The public awareness piece will be conducted by the Voices and Faces Project in Chicago through their "The Ugly Truth" campaign (http://www.voicesandfaces.org/). This 3-month outreach campaign will roll out in the spring to help bring awareness of the problem, considered modern day slavery, to our area.
If you want to be part of the team to help us in the fight, contact one of the following Rotarians:

Point West Rotary presented its 6th annual youth leadership conference "Partners in Leadership" on November 2, 2017. Fair Oaks Rotary Club members joined us this year and brought students from Bella Vista High to join our students from Encina High. PWR members were excited to partner with them this year to make the conference even bigger and better!
Point West Rotarians enjoyed friendship, an early morning walk and giving back to the community at the Run to Feed the Hungry on Thanksgiving Day! Tom Engwer and family, Greg Garcia and family, Glen Cheron and family, Samantha Hoshida, Desiree Wilson, Beth and Ed Schatz, and Dave Black all walked or ran to help feed the hungry!
Point West Rotary and the Active 20/30 Club joined forces on Nov. 9th to bring pride and dignity to local foster youth by providing them with backpacks/suitcases full of essential items a child needs while in foster care...their own blanket, pajamas, stuffed animal, books, etc. Over 200 cases were packed and are being donated to local foster youth organizations in our area. video
