Last Week Today

  • Welcome Guests!  Jen Gebbie Ra'anan, Principal at Delta, Tamar Ragir, math teacher at Delta, and Student of the Month Kale Razo and her mother.

  • Our Bike Ride Thank You advertisement ran today in the Santa Cruz Sentinel. This is the first of two ads and the start of a campaign to highlight the Club, what we do, and to invite others to join us. 

  • The Club Culture and DE&I Committee meets Monday November 21 at 5pm at Monarch Services conference room at 550 Water Street, Suite J3. Please complete this form if you're interested in the committee, even if you can't attend. Contact Debra Feldstein if you need more info.

  • The Charities and Grants committee led by Roger Swenson gives modest monetary grants to deserving organizations and individuals in the Santa Cruz area. The primary focus is children, youth, and the elderly. Grants can also include music, sports, schools, and community activities and events. Preference is given to local activities and groups. Requests where members of the Rotary Club have personal knowledge or involvement have a priority. However, requests must come in writing from an organization and not from a member of the club. 

     

    Club Grants so far in the 2022-23 year include:
    - Santa Cruz Symphony
    - Volcanes
    - Your Future is Our Business
    - Senderos
    - Harbor High Baseball
    - Waldorf School of Santa Cruz
    - Kidpower
    - County Park Friends: Sgt.Gutzwiller Memorial
    - Espressivo

  • Holiday Party! This year's holiday party is on December 8th and will be held at the Paradox. No specific dress code, but it sounds like the challenge is on to wear the ugliest holiday sweater. Is it hanging in your closet? By the time you read this you will have received an email with more information. It's just $50, bring a friend. Contact Patrice Keet if you need more information.

  • TRF - The Rotary Foundation - Rod Caborn kicked off this year's TRF campaign with a simple description of the impact we have with our Foundation giving. It's not a complicated story, our efforts have improved the lives of others around the globe. More on this to follow, but if you're so inclined, please click here to visit our TRF web page and consider giving.
