Rotary at Work

Rotary at Work Day
It happens the last Saturday in April each year. Started in 2006 as a joint effort between two Rotary Districts (one in the United States and one in Mexico), Rotarians at Work Day continues to grow. Each year, Clubs around the world identify a hands-on project that all members can participate in to help their local community. The day is a great way to revitalize your Club, bring in new members and generate publicity for Rotary.
Greg Miller, District 5150 Community Service Chair says, "Just look at what our Clubs are doing!"
Rotary Club of Tiburon/Belvedere
Our club is planning a work party that day to finalize the installation of a community
garden at our local 100-unit HUD-subsidized low-income housing project called The
Hilarita.
Michael Heckmann
Rotary Club of Belmont
Right now, the Belmont Club is in the planning stages for Rotary at Work
day. It looks like our project is to clean up the perimeter of Ralston
field at Ralston Middle School and do cutting back of foliage that resides
along the fence of the field and in the canyon behind the school. Between
school athletics, and community sports organizations like soccer and
baseball the field is well used.
Juli Balestrieri
Rotary Club of San Carlos
The San Carlos Rotary Club has decided to replant an island in a public parking lot
that is overgrown. The parking lot is adjacent to a new grocery store going in and a
preschool. We plan to improve the area with drought-tolerant plants and most likely
a lovely tree. Go Rotary!
Christine Boland

Sausalito will be working on the Field House in MLK park in Sausalito. This was our

sprucing it up. Spring cleaning!

Rotary Club of Novato Sunrise
The Rotary Club of Novato Sunrise has selected a project for that day! We are going
to spruce up/clean up and generally give a makeover to a 1/4 mile stretch of
Redwood Blvd. in Novato. This is a main north/south thoroughfare through Novato
and it is in need of some help! So, we are going to give it some help! Our club has
39 members and we hope to get all 39 involved in this project.

Brandy M.M. Navarro
Rotary Club of San Bruno
The San Bruno Rotary Club has a project lined up. We will "update" a
house that is used by the Girl Scouts and is somewhat of a "community use"
house, for lack of a better term. Some of our work will begin prior to April 25.
We will replace some appliances and flooring. There will be some cosmetic
upgrading that will include paint and landscaping.
