Dine to Donate #1

Fair Oaks Rotarians Discover

How To Eat and Get Rich

Well, OK, they don't get rich, but their Rotary Club does. How does that happen? They order on the "Dine to Donate" program, and a percentage of their bill comes back to the club. We've all been missing the chow line at our weekly meetings, and the Zoom-meisters just haven't been able to replicate it. So we've been saving personally... AND getting hungrier... every Monday since March. So... we invaded the Armenian Grill House tonight and made them busier than they have been for a while, AND we'll get a check from them in a month or so. Not sure who's up next, but this looks like a winner fundraiser.

Mad Ave Aug 2020

Fair Oaks Rotary SWAT Team

Beautifies Madison Avenue

Wait, Rotary has SWAT teams?!! Well, yes, they STOP WASTE AND TRASH. And the Fair Oaks Rotary team (plus one Bella Vista Interact Club member), braving nasty air... I think "unhealthy" is the proper term... AND the coronavirus, AND a notable lack of Rotary fuel (coffee and donuts, for the uninitiated) ventured forth this morning on Madison Avenue between Chicago (Avenue, not city) and Kenneth for their quarterly beautification project. Pickings seemed a little slimmer than usual, perhaps another side effect of COVID-19 keeping people off the street. But there still was a decent haul, so look for us again in a few months.

AboutKidz 2020

Fair Oaks Rotary Helps

AboutKidz Help Kids

If that headline makes you think that there's a lot of helping going on, well, you're correct! AboutKidz is a local Fair Oaks organization that is about (helping) kids. When they needed some hands to help distribute backpacks with school supplies to local kids, who better to assist, i.e., help, than Fair Oaks Rotarians? And help they did, handing out over 1,000 backpacks to about 600 kids. It was such a gratifying experience that you might even think we'd help next time.

Women's Empowerment 2020

Women's Empowerment & Fair Oaks Rotary

Unstopped by COVID-19

Women's Empowerment... remember them from last year? They are the wonderful organization that provides job training... and SO MUCH MORE... for homeless women so that they can break the cycle of poverty they often find themselves trapped in. Fair Oaks Rotary... what do we do? Well, we "sponsor" the fall graduation ceremony each year by providing and serving the luncheon after the ceremony. This year found the class reduced from the usual 20-25 to seven, meaning less need for food and servers, but we were still there. Let's hope that they're back up to speed as soon as this pandemic ends, because some of us miss helping get rid of the left-over dessert.

Food Bank Project

It's Fair Oaks Rotary Fridays

At the FO/OV Food Bank!

When the COVID-19 pandemic increased food insecurity in the Fair Oaks-Orangevale area, FO/OV Food Bank director and Rotarian Keith Wright knew where to get help. Expanding their hours by adding distributions on Friday seemed like a good idea, and Rotarians jumped at the chance to serve. Clad in their designer masks, they learned their tasks without too much difficulty and took over the new Friday distribution hours through the end of summer.
