Darrell Hook's Demotion Dinner - the Ballad of the Rotary Bell
(June 24, 2025)
(to the tune of Gilligan’s Island)
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful year
For Darrell Hook, our president
It all began right here.
Our new leader was confident
A retired engineer
He would guide our Rotary Club,
With the bell we hold so dear.
The bell was a treasured artifact
To be protected at all costs.
But Darrell had a backup plan
In case the bell was lost.
He recorded a selfie video
A “TicTok” if you will
That he would never need to use
If everything was chill
But the bell went missing right away
He had to get it back.
His video was a poor stand-in
For the Club’s brass artifact
He learned his lesson early on
To watch it like a hawk
And keep it close beside him
In it’s case behind a lock
Each week the meeting opened with
The ringing of the bell
After the 50/50 raffle draw,
It adjourned the group as well
-- another chance to win Stu’s Money
One week Darrell had to reclaim his bell
From beneath Pricilla’s coat
She was nabbed before she made the door
And that was all she wrote
You have to have the bell you see
For a meeting to conclude
To not hear the bell ring out
Would just be downright rude.
--It would just be downright rude.
The District Conference came to town
And all seemed so impressed
The event went off without a hitch
So Darrell passed that test
Coming up on our Centennial
We planned a gala event
A dinner for the Fallon Club
And our bell from I.H. Kent
The soiree was a big success
And more history was made
But then in the aftermath
Darrell’s smile did fade
Up on the stage the bell was rung
As it had for one hundred years
But when he turned his back just once
It quickly disappeared.
We’ve been at this now 100 years
And we’re still going strong
But can we still be a Rotary club
Without our sacred gong?
And can we change out presidents
When the bell has up and gone?
With no Rotary bell to pass to Nan
He’ll have to soldier on…

Please join us and learn about 100 years of Rotary and our community.

Our Rotary club has a huge impact on our local community-- Our last project was the Cottage School Shade Structure and it is a wonderful example of our efforts!
The Rotary Club of Fallon serves the Churchill County’s town of Fallon, which is a rural agricultural community. Churchill County has a population of roughly over 25,000 people and the median household annual income of $56,335, which is less than the medial annual income of $64,994 across the entire United States.
This Rotary project served the grade school children of Churchill County, Nevada, by providing a safe, comfortable, and fun area for children to eat and play in. The Churchill County’s parks and recreation department provides an after-school program called CARE at the historic Cottage Schools. The CARE program serves about 70 children, and there’s a waiting list. The rural community has few and very limited after school options, and CARE serves all parents of the community and their children. There are children from all ranges from social and economic classes of the community- from elected and appointed leaders to convicted felons- that attend and participate in this program. The Cottage School was built in 1939 and in 2007 was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Our Rotary Club built upon the heritage and tradition of the Cottage School with the much-needed services provided by the CARE program and create a shaded eat and play area for the children while they continue their educational journey. We helped create a cool and shaded area with seating for the children to comfortably eat their meals and snacks.
I am a mother of two (2) small children in the Fallon community. My children participate in the much-needed CARES program in Churchill County which provides after school care to children aged 5 and up. The CARES program is wonderfully run, providing care to over 70 children every day. However, the outside play area at the CARES' cottage schools left much to be desired. I would often see a crowd of children seeking shade under the limited tree area, while a sunny blank area remained vacant. The kids would rather eat inside the school or on the limited shade grass area, than sit at sunny and hot tables.
As Rotarians, we improved this Cottage School/CARES area. A large shade structure was installed in the open area that allows children to comfortably play, have meals/snacks, and overall improve the otherwise unusable area of the property. The shade structure also has new, kid friendly picnic tables to assist the children to enjoy the outdoor area even on the hottest days in the summer.
Churchill County hosted a celebration on May 1, 2025 at the Cottage School to celebrate all the hard work achieved at that location. Part of the improvement includes that Rotary Shade Project. It was wonderful to see the children enjoy the shaded space!
The Rotary Club of Fallon’s mission is to implement community service in our community, emphasize on improving the lives of children. We achieved this mission by converting a sunny, dirt lot into a usable and pleasant eating and play area would better the lives of the children of Fallon.
We made a tiny oasis for the kids.

Thank you to everyone who helped at Rotarians at Work Day 2024! Boy Scouts Troop 1776 joined in on the fun and assisted in the clean up project. The park clean up project also included building a new BBQ area and park bench. This type of project has a huge impact on our community- a clean park for kids to play and enjoy for the summer with no sticker bushes! The City of Fallon projected the materials for the project and all the tools. Rotary and the Boy Scouts provided the elbow grease!

Rotary is proud to continue it's Annual Dictionary Project where Rotary Members will be preparing and delivering dictionaries to all 3rd-grade students within Churchill County. As part of the club’s literacy program, the club deliveries dictionaries to all third-grade students each year and the kids' reactions are truly a great reward. It is wonderful to see a young student excited over receiving his or her own personal dictionary and giving them the resource to become a creative thinker and writer.
