Up Next: 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

Volunteer Opportunities:
7:30–9:00 AM: Fencing setup
3:00–4:30 PM: Fencing teardown & put-away

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.
