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 andDE&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.
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.
