This is the first reminder for Rotary BIG Night held Saturday, January 17th at the Sterling Hotel on 1300 H St in Sacramento. (http://sterlinghotelsacramento.com/). This is an annual fundraiser that serves the Child Abuse Prevention Program (CAPP) and last year raised $30,000 in one night – it’s a BIG Night! Rotary needs our help once again in helping set up the silent auction items, registering guests, delivering prizes to winners and running transactions. Please RSVP to Jeff Ying, jmying@ucdavis.edu by Monday, January 5th to let him know that you will be helping out. All volunteers receive a complimentary dinner and get to listen to the CAPP evening program and live auction. Please arrive at the hotel by 4pm and plan on staying until 11pm.

ROTARY BIG NIGHT Gala and Auction – Jan 17th, 2009
Published December 31, 2008 Community Service , Rotary Events Leave a CommentDowntown Tree Lighting Ceremony a delight for all
Published December 12, 2008 Community Service Leave a CommentThanks to all of the folks who came out on December 4th to watch the downtown tree lighting ceremony. Our efforts were well worth it! Christmas spirit abounded that night as elementary school kids (including Danny Tomesllo’s 8 yr, Madelline) and the DHS Madrigal choir sang throughout the night. Appearances made by Santa and his helper elves along with city council members. Look for the Rotaract decorated bulbs on two of the lower hanging branches!
Let’s get together for a fun Sunday afternoon (4-7pm) filled with great food and great people. Holiday Potluck (plan for ~10 ppl):
A-F Holiday Desserts/Drinks
G-R Holiday Side Dish (Pasta/Rice Dish)
S-Z Holiday Appetizer/Drinks
Look for recipes that call for seasonal ingredients. Buy drinks in bulk if possible, or make your own concoction. Think ahead and make something for everyone to enjoy or delay till the last minute and buy something at the store! We don’t mind as long as it’s good (jk) and it uses reusable/recyclable containers and/or minimal packaging.
Sustainable Gift Exchange:
Someone’s trash is another’s treasure. If you have a book, clothing, or some trinket that you have enjoyed and would like to pass along to extend it’s life, please wrap it (in a reusable bag or newspaper ads, of course) and add it to our gift exchange. These gifts can be real/senitmental or funny/white elephant.
Help plant with TREE Davis this Saturday from 1-4 pm. Location TBA – email Ag for details
