Rotary is an international organization of business and professional people with clubs all over the world. By joining Rotary you become a part of a worldwide family. When you travel, one of the highlights will be to attend a Rotary meeting. Your Rotary family anywhere in the world will welcome you warmly. Rotary performs international service, like working to eradicate polio and providing water wells and medical supplies. Our Rotary Club prides itself on its local service like Youth Programs and International Exchange, Incline Village Rotary Flower Garden, building and maintaining bus shelters, scenic benches, gardens, and the Lake Tahoe Overlook. We also support many local charities. Scroll down and you will see Opportunities for You to join in and Serve!

REPORT ON MONDAY'S MEETING

Two of our members, Rocket Scientist (really) Terry Murphy and his wife, nutritionist Marianne Murphy told us about their recent completion of the Tahoe Rim Trail. The hike is broken down into segments and hikes are taken to complete the entire 165+ mile loop throughout the summer. Terry put together a great pictorial and Marianne showed us her typical back pack. The meeting was great fun with hiking jokes, trivia, and profound thoughts. Come at noon to the Reynolds Community Center (Parasol Building) "RCC" where we normally meet at 948 Incline Way for a nice lunch with your friends! See you this Monday at noon for our 45th Birthday Party!

Opportunities for You to Serve!

We track Club Rotary volunteer hours so tell us about it when you volunteer (lurn@me.com/or text 510-334-5343)!

ONGOING: Our Club's See's Candies Fundraiser: Buy See's Candy online and have it delivered to your door or wherever you want to send it. Our club will receive all the profit! Here is the link: https://www.yumraising.com/secure/rotaryfoi_rotary_foundation_of_incline_villag62/SpeSpe9523/

The proceeds go to the endowment of our club's foundation. Once it hits $100,000 all income goes to the club for charitable projects.

ONGOING: Our Rotary Garden is next to the Chevron Station on the corner of Tahoe Blvd. and Village. Walk by and take a look! We don't need any gardening right now, but in the Spring we will expand the garden towards the sidewalks. Do you like to garden? If we had more gardeners

Hispanic Outreach Personalized Approach (HOPA). You would be a mentor to specially selected high school students to teach them about your profession. This would require about 30 to 60 minutes per month, October through June, coordinating with the organization and school. You would guide and support your student in exploring professional paths, applying for scholarships, building a resume, seeking letters of recommendation, and preparing for interviews. Email Ana Porras at ana.porras@washoeschools.net and let her know what your areas of expertise are so she can look for a good match with a prospective mentee.

Read with Me - From our club, Joan Ellen and Lu and Rick do this. Now is Your Chance to join the program! Thursday September 19 at 3:30 p.m. is the first Read With Me training session since last year. Just fill out these online forms:

(Online, now): Read With Me office

This is the perfect time of the school year for anybody to get active, so tell others to get in touch with John and Sharon at inclinereadwithme@gmail.com (They can accommodate new volunteers anytime during the school year, too.)
