Interact Club Blood Drive

Fair Oaks Rotary and Bella Vista Interact

Team with Vitalant to Save Some Lives

Bella Vista Interact Club, Fair Oaks Rotary & Vitalant teamed up to save lives for four hours on April 14. Vitalant brought a couple of bloodmobiles to the New Life Church and the Interact and Rotary clubs located the donors and provided Rotary fuel (not the usual donuts, but plenty of goodies to go with the coffee). Air 1 Radio provided music and goodies, and the local Golden Retriever meet-up group brought a few canines to comfort the stickees. Twenty-two people rolled up their sleeves and gave of themselves. It was quite a happenin', so you might keep an eye out for another one in the future.

Speech Contest 2021

Four Young Women Describe Opportunities

In Fair Oaks Rotary Speech Contest

It happened on Zoom, so the chance for that group photo at the end disappeared, but four remarkable young women high school students spoke to the Fair Oaks Rotary via their computer cameras about this year's district speech contest theme, "How 2020 Opens Opportunities". The winner (pictured above) was Nancy Cheng, a senior at Waldorf High School. She will now compete in the District semifinals, but in the club's eyes, they were all winners. We're all looking forward to next year's in-person competition.

Mad Ave Feb 2021

Masked Horde of Fair Oaks Rotarians

And Bella Vista Interactors

Takes on Madison Avenue

The group pictured above, heavily armed with "grabbers" and bright orange trash bags, and energized by Rotary fuel... coffee and donuts, for the uninformed... made short work of all the trash on Madison Avenue between Chicago (street, not city) and Kenneth, as per our agreement with Sacramento County, which gives us free advertising by posting signs delineating our "beautification" zone. We do this once a quarter, so give us a wave if you see us again. For a look at the Interact crew, click "Read more..."

Dogs & Valentines 2021

Happy Valentine's Day

From Fair Oaks Rotary

(and some dogs)

Well, mid-February can be a kind of lonesome time at an elder care facility, especially during a pandemic. So making over 400 Valentines and distributing them to a handful of area facilities seemed like a pretty good idea. And that is exactly what Fair Oaks Rotarians did, assisted in the distribution by a bunch of beautiful golden retrievers. Who knows... maybe a doggie even made a Valentine or two. It seemed to brighten up the day for a bunch of senior citizens... AND Rotarians.

Dogs and Rotary 2021

Is Fair Oaks Rotary

Going to the Dogs?

From this photo, it might look like it, but here's the rest of the story. One of our members who is a well connected dog lover thought that it might be fun to have a get-together at the New Life Church while our club was helping the Fair Oaks-Orangevale Food Bank with their Saturday distribution. And while we're at it, why not have a local news station bring a crew out for a look at what we're doing? Well, it was fun, and we were on TV!

Holiday Baskets 2020

Fair Oaks Rotary Helps

Fill Holiday Tummies

2020 threw a big obstacle in the way of service projects in general, but Fair Oaks Rotary's elves would not let a worldwide pandemic stop one of our annual favorites, preparing and distributing holiday food baskets to less well-off students of local schools. One hundred families will eat a little better this holiday, thanks to the crew in these pictures. Next year... off with the masks and on with the holiday hats! For more photos, click "Read more..."
