Food Bank – Jan 10, March, 13 & April, 10, 2024

We volunteer at the Redwood Empire Food Bank on the 2nd Wednesday of every month.  It is a lot of fun. It is especially exiting at the end, when then tell us how much food we packed and how many people we helped feed.

It is always a fun surprise, we never know what we will be packing in advance.

In January we packed pears. (count not available)
In March we packed potatoes. We packed 5566 lbs (2.8 Tons), for approximately 4638 meals.
In April we packed oatmeal.  Although we packed over 44 boxes of oatmeal, it was only 660 lbs, but a LOT of oatmeal.

2020 Club Rotary Guadalajara – our sister club in 2012

A visit was made by Shari with her family Rotary in Guadalajara, where she was a member between 2006-2012, before  transferring to Rotary club of Santa Rosa. Club Rotary Guadalajara and our Santa Rosa club became  sisters in the program of bringing an Orchestra of under privileged  children a federal program in Mexico assigned to the Secretary of Culture in the state of Jalisco to improve the lives of poor children. The program was jointly coordinated by both clubs and successfully implemented in 2012 at the Green Music Center.
These photos are members of the club Rotary Guadalajara in hotel Quintana Roo where they meet every Tuesday for lunch. Their speaker was a professor from the University of Guadalajara speaking on women’s issues and lack of services provided for women with low income status.
It is amazing so many years of working towards progress in women’s issues and it seems they are regressing backwards.
The highest rate of assault, death and violence against women was in 2019 in the history of status of women.
