Today is National Coast Guard Day commemorating the 235th year of the founding of the United States Coast Guard. Today, we salute all Coast Guard members, active and inactive, for their service to our country.
This week's speaker is Debbie Boyd of Placer Justice Foundation. The foundation is a coalition of survivors, victims, officials, community members, organizations, business owners, and stakeholders all working toward a common goal of a brighter Placer County. She will be sharing the mission of the foundation to provide financial support to bridge the gap in victim services, fund outreach and awareness campaigns, and empower our community’s voices to inspire others.
Security in the AI Era
Last week's speaker was Pranial Shankar, President at SPADE Security Services. He gave a vocational talk on Security in the AI era. He discussed physical and digital security, and how we now see more digital threats than physical ones, and these digital threats can turn into physical threats. From large businesses to small, it is important to evaluate your digital security and make sure you are leveraging the tools you have available to you to their fullest, especially in this age of AI and AI threats.
Shop with a Cop
Reminder: We have a great service opportunity this coming weekend. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to serve our community.
We’re kicking off our Rotary year with a meaningful and heartwarming service project: Shop with a Cop, which will take place in less than two weeks on Saturday, August 9th, from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m.
In partnership with the Rocklin Police Activities League, this annual event provides underprivileged children with the opportunity to shop for school supplies and other necessities alongside our local police officers. The program helps foster positive relationships between police and youth, creating an uplifting environment where trust and community spirit thrive.
The morning begins with breakfast at the Rocklin Police Department, followed by a short drive to Target in Rocklin, where each child will be paired with an officer — and in some cases, one of us — to shop together.
We encourage all members to join us for this impactful event. It’s a wonderful way to connect with our community and demonstrate the spirit of Rotary in action.
Please let us know if you’re able to attend by contacting Ken Broadway.
