By appreciating the reasoning behind both holidays and celebrating them harmoniously, we can embrace the multifaceted tapestry of American history and culture. Let us remember our past, acknowledge its complexities, and celebrate unity in diversity on these important occasions.
This week's speaker is Cherri Spriggs, CEO of Meraki Public Affairs and Executive Director of Placer Business Alliance. She will discuss Measure C, which is a proposed half-cent (0.5%) local sales tax on the November 3, 2026, ballot.
Global Council for Responsible AI
Last week's speaker was Lisa Thee, Global Chair of the International AI Safety Commission (ICAS), part ofthe Global Council for Responsible AI (GCRAI). The GCRAI is an independent international authority advancing the responsible, ethical, trustworthy, and accountable development, implementation, and use of artificial intelligence. Operating across 77+ countries, GCRAI unites governments, industry, academia, and civil society to create global alignment in AI governance. It was a great presentation and discussion about AI safety and governance.
Last Week's Event
Last Saturday was thePlacer SPCA Wag & Walk event. The Placer SPCA Wags -Walk Event is a popular community festival that benefits animals in need throughout Placer County! Our club has participated for many years, and we were out in full force again, supporting the event and operating our booth to get the word out about Rotary and our club.
Upcoming Events
Coming this Sunday: RockPAL Cornhole Tournament
Rocklin Rotary will once again provide the fencing for this annual RockPAL event. That means we get the glamorous job of putting it up—and then taking it down!
Sunday, October 18, Rocklin PAL will host its 4th Annual Cornhole Tournament Fundraiser—a day full of fun, friendly competition, and most importantly, community impact. Johnson-Springview Park
Contact Ken for more information and to volunteer.
It’s a great way to support RockPAL, help make the event run smoothly, and get a little Rotary muscle-building workout in the process.
