The Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade is looking for volunteers to assist in multiple activities designed to help our community through the COVID-19 crisis.
As we approach Thanksgiving, we are grateful for the many organizations in Santa Barbara that provide needed services to the community.
This coming Tuesday we’ll see how our Rotary Club supports a diverse group of neighbors;
we will honor 13 fine local organizations with grant awards of $1,000 (see list of grant recipients at left). We'll hear briefly from each about their area of service and how grant funds will be used. Please join me in celebrating their contributions to our community.
We have a surprise or two planned for December, so stay tuned for more details after our cherished Thanksgiving holiday.
See you Tuesday,
Thanks to all who supported the Santa Barbara Rotaractors in their Walk to End Alzheimer's.
