What have we been up to
This last weekend, we had all sorts of service opportunities and a show of dedication to service above self.
On Saturday, October 11th, our Club was out helping and promoting the club atPlacer SPCA Wags & Walk event. This new event replaced Barktoberfest, and we had a great turnout.
Then, on Sunday, October 12th, we were at the RockPAL Cornhole Tournament, supporting the event and promoting the club. The Rocklin Police Activities League put on the 3rd Annual Cornhole Tournament fundraiser, helping to raise funds for Rocklin youth! There was a great turnout at this event, too.
