The Rotary Club of Minden was founded in 1926, and has about 40 members from the Carson Valley area including Minden, Gardnerville and Genoa.
Last week at our Rotary Club of Minden Nevada meeting - our program entailed asking one of our fellow Rotarian's to tell us something about themselves. "Rotarians Time to Shine" What an amazing and enlightening time - thank you so much for sharing with us Dick!

Today, 9/10/2019, our guest speaker was Sarah Sanchez, Director of the Carson Valley Community Food Closet. The Food Closet has been serving Douglas County, NV since 1989 providing assistance with groceries to those in need. Sarah provided our Club with an overview of the amazing services provided to our community. The Food Closet is located at: 1251 Waterloo Lane, Gardnerville, Nevada.
The Food Closet operates through contributions made by Carson Valley residents, local service groups, churches, businesses and local food merchants. Food is picked up each day at local grocery stores by volunteers. As a member of the Northern Nevada Food Bank in conjunction with Feeding America, food items are purchased through the Food Bank at greatly reduced cost.

On 8/9/2019 the Douglas County Library celebrated the Grand Opening of its Bookmobile at Heritage Park (Minden). This will be a wonderful addition to our community and is one of four bookmobiles in the entire state of Nevada. Club Member John Carne actively participated in this process and was at the event on behalf of the Rotary Club of Minden Nevada. For more pictures click on the link on the left side of this page.
This past Saturday, we saw the great people of the Minden Rotary pull weeds for 2 hours at the Carson Valley Food Closet. Organized by Ken Miller, Minden Rotary cleared a large portion of the drainage ditch and a section of the food closets property making it ready for future landscaping. Thanks to all. .png)
