Coins & Coffee for PACE Universal

Coins and Coffee Fundraiser was held on April 9th and was lots of fun and a big success! We collected $305.35 in coins, plus another $35 in paper money and checks.

And we inspired two members to each donate $1,000 to the Piyali School directly. So we raised $2340.35!!! The winner of the "guess how much we raised in coins" was Cathy Francis, with her guess of $301. Thank you to all of you who participated and/or contributed. Thank you too to Chrissy C. of Columbia Bank who was patient and kind in handling our 20+ lbs of coins.

Passport "Pin Busters" raised $1,285 for Hotline!

A spirited team from the Rotary Passport Club of the Central Coast donned bowling shoes and signature team “bowler” hats to hit the lanes at Pismo Bowl on April 4th for an active evening of fellowship and FUNdraising at the 39th annual Hotline Bowl-A-Thon. The “Passport Rotary Pin Busters” team, which included Robin, Alice, Laura, Larry, Sam and Jessica, raised $1,285 for the important community service -- more than double their fundraising goal. They also won two awards at their Saturday night bowling shift: “Most Money Raised” by a team, and Outstanding Team Spirit.” Newer RPCCC club member Sam achieved the “Highest Score” award among the team.

This is the first year the "Passport Rotary Pin Busters” have bowled in this event. They hope to encourage participation among club members to enter two (or more) teams next year. Organized by Transitions-Mental Health Association (T-MHA), the annual Bowl-A-Thon benefits Central Coast Hotline -- the only local, 24/7, free, confidential crisis and suicide prevention telephone line — which provides critical one-on-one support to individuals and families, and mental health services information to the community. The event, which was held over two weekends, brought in $72,000 in total donations.

SLO's First Peace Pole: Four Rotary Clubs, One Message of Peace for Our Community

What a beautiful day for our Rotary family! Yesterday, four Rotary clubs - including our very own Central Coast Passport Rotary - joined in the city of San Luis Obispo in Mission Plaza to celebrate the dedication of SLO’s very first Peace Pole, a symbol of unity and goodwill for our community.

https://www.ksby.com/news/local-news/peace-pole-planted-in-san-luis-obispo

The pole features the enduring message “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in eight languages, each one representing a culture that has helped shape who we are as a community, from the Chumash people, the original stewards of this land, to the many communities that have made SLO their home.

We were treated to a wonderful performance of John Lennon’s “Imagine” by the SLO Youth Symphony and the Central Coast Youth Choir — the perfect soundtrack for such a meaningful occasion.

A huge congratulations to Rotary de Tolosa for all the hard work and dedication it took to initiate and make this happen. We are proud to have been a part of it! ☮️

We Will be Helping at the SLO Food Bank Monthly!

Today, 6 of our Rotary Passport Club Members helped pack food bags for those in our county that need to receive nutritious meals. Please come and join us once a month on Tuesday morning from 9am -11am. Check our website for the upcoming dates.

The vision of the SLO Food Bank is a community in which every person has adequate access to nutritious food.

Every human being has the right to nutritious food, regardless of the reasons that they may not be able to obtain it for themselves.
The SLO Food Bank’s intent is not only to help make nutritious food available through programs and agencies, but also to encourage and support each person served, recognizing their possible vulnerabilities and sensitivities.
Everyone the SLO Food Bank serves, whether individuals, families or agencies, deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and dignity.
It is our privilege to serve without judgment.
