What Have We Been Up To?
The Bella Vista High School Interact Service Club members were at it again!   Yes, this Spring they again organized an all school clothing drive to benefit others, something they did last year as well.
 
It took a fair amount of planning, and then over a two week period,  they encouraged students to bring in their slightly used clothes to donate to the Underground Clothing Connection located in Sunrise Mall.   This unique store gathers clothes to support student families who are experiencing financial or housing hardships.  The families shopping at the store are enrolled in the San Juan Unified School District, and they must be referred by their school.
 
Ultimately, 1,625 articles of clothing were donated and counted by the Interact students, who then determined which three classes donated the most number of items.   This Friday, the Interact students will be purchasing and delivering pizzas to the three classrooms that donated the most number of clothes.
 
Great job, Interact!    This took time and effort to organize, and a special shout-out goes to Interact President Andrea Choi and Faculty Advisor Heather Hawkins (both seen in the photo, with a few of the first donated bags of clothes).  
 
 
 
Rotary Club of Fair Oaks was celebrated at the “Best of Fair Oaks” event.  The club took home...
 
#1 BEST SERVICE CLUB and #2 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
 
The attending club members were all smiles with President Mazzy showing off our plaque. (Whose that person in the back who sneaked into this photo shot? Why it is the Fair Oaks Recreation & Parks District, Sean Ventura) Our new member Garret McDermid, was looking pretty wild in those pants.
 
Also, congratulations to members Katie Yount for #1 Best Insurance Services and Citizen of the year and Dustin Buck for Best Financial Services and Business person of the year!
Rotary Club of Fair Oaks - Meristem 2022-2023 Rotary District Grant project was officially launched Monday night by our Rotary District 5180 Governor Karen Cendro. Thank you for your incredible support DG!
 
The goal of the project is to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the employment sector through provision of culinary skill for young adults with mental challenges such as Autism. Currently, the mainstream employment rate for workers with mental disabilities is as low 22 %. Providing them with professional skills, gives them a competitive edge in the employment sector.
