Every year the Rotary Club of Alameda donates vintage jewelry and watches to the Thrifty Kitty at 1509 Webster St. Net proceeds from the sale of these treasures as well as all the gently used clothing, artwork, books and household items sold at Thrifty Kitty support the Friends of Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS). Every year the Alameda Animal shelter receives nearly 1,000 lost, abandoned, and surrendered animals. FAAS also saves 96% through innovative programs, community partnerships, and support from a passionate base of volunteers and donors. The Thrifty Kitty is a vibrant space where you can shop and feel good about helping animals in need as well as keeping discarded items out of landfills. It is a vibrant space where you also can find plants and unique gift items that are gentle to our environment. Donating jewelry every year to the Thrifty Kitty is just one of many ways that the Rotary Club of Alameda gives back to the community. 1.2 million Rotarians all over the world believe that we can work together to better our world and it starts with a commitment to “Service above Self”. In Alameda and more than 34,000 clubs worldwide you will find members volunteering locally and abroad. To learn more about Rotary Club of Alameda please email rotaryclubofalameda@gmail.com.
A joint effort of the Rotary Club of Alameda, Alameda Parks and Rec., and 100K Trees for Humanity led to a successful tree planting this last Saturday morning in Leydecker Park. Amos White of 100K Trees for Humanity and Joyce Mercado, President of Alameda Rotary Club directed the 16 volunteers who showed up on a sunny spring morning to plant trees. These trees will benefit our urban environment by reducing CO2, releasing O2, providing habitat for birds, and will provide shade. Also worth noting is that trees decrease the effects of smoke and reduce rainwater runoff. Recent research even shows trees have a calming effect on people, decreasing anxiety. Alameda Rotary Club plans to continue this effort and raise funds to plant even more trees to help Alameda become more green.

Tuesday in the Rathskeller of the Elks Lodge we enjoyed beautiful classical music played by a trio of musicians led by Deborah Spangler, Ed Hirshberg's childhood friend. We had a great turnout including many guests who helped us wolf down FIVE pizzas in addition to nibbling on Valentine's Day treats and enjoying each other's company!
Join us for a meeting and see what we are about.
