Awards 2025
Fair Oaks Rotary Wins
Best Club in Area
 
With a bunch of admiring club members and other district 5180 Rotarians in the audience, President Keith Walter accepted the Gold Star award from District Governor Steve Turner as Assistant Governor (and Fair Oaks Rotarian) Diana Cralle looked on.  As one of the eight Gold Star clubs in the district, we were recognized as having had a pretty good year.  We'll add this to the collection of awards we've won over the years.

Fair Oaks Rotary goes BIG on the
Big Day of Service
So, what's the Big Day of Service?  Well, Fair Oaks and several other local communities come together annually to design and perform dozens of service projects that improve their communities.  This year, the Fair Oaks Rotary not only participated with a couple of projects of our own, but we were one of the lead sponsors of the entire event.  Kickoff was at the Bella Vista High School football stadium where a crowd of about 1,000 listened to several (thankfully short) speeches by local dignitaries before heading off for their 65+ projects.
  
One crew headed to a parking lot adjacent to Fair Oaks Village that had turned into a dumping ground for all kinds of stuff, and they made it pristine, hopefully helping to alleviate the chronic parking deficiency in the village.
 
Our other crew went to Fair Oaks cemetery and planted a memorial tree to honor a prominent member of the community (and wife of one of our Rotarians) who died recently.  Several members who should have known better actually climbed that ladder, but we all survived.
 
All in all, the day was a great success, so we'll likely be back next year.
Speech Contest 2025
Speech Contestants
Wow Fair Oaks Rotary
As usual, the contestants in our annual speech contest wowed the audience of Rotarians, family members and teachers.  We were treated to their takes on the theme of "The Magic of Service" and were amazed at the confidence and poise of these four young ladies.  The winner will compete in the District semifinals.
Mad Ave 2-25
Fair Oaks Rotary and BV Interact
Beautify Madison Avenue
If it seems like you've seen this story before, it's because it's a recurring tale.  As part of Sacramento County's Adopt-A-Street program, we own all the trash on Madison Avenue between Chicago and Kenneth, so we're out there every three months picking it up, usually with a contingent from the Bella Vista Interact Club, a student club sponsored by Rotary.  Rotary fuel (coffee and donuts) give us that needed energy boost to get the job done.
