All Rotary, Rotaract, and Interact Clubs are invited to participate in the 40th Annual California Coastal Clean-up Day on Saturday, September 21st from 9 AM to 12 noon. Let's roll up our sleeves and help protect our environment: one of Rotary's Seven Areas of Focus. Plus, all three counties of District 5150 have coastlines and beaches to protect. This project is open to all age groups and abilities, and guests and potential members are welcome, too. You and your club can start your own clean-up project or join forces with other Rotary / Rotaract / Interact clubs, community organizations, and volunteers to clean up the same area. Select a county to view established clean-up projects for 2024: Since the start of California Coastal Clean-up Day in 1985, 1,784,556 volunteers have removed over 26,778,113 million pounds of trash and recyclables (average 16.6 pounds of trash per volunteer) from our state’s beaches, lakes, and waterways. District 5150 Clubs have participated in the clean-up efforts in recent years, including 21 Rotary Clubs and 3 Interact Clubs in 2023! Let's increase that number in 2024! The District 5150 Community Service Committee is encouraging all Rotary members to consider supporting the State's largest annual volunteer event and help clean up trash from the environment before the rains come and wash it out to the coast and ocean. |

California Native Garden Foundation's Teaching Garden Project "A Living Library"
Nov 06, 2024 6:30 PM
Alrie Middlebrook, from the Rotary Club of San Jose, is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of California Native Garden Foundation (CNGF https://cngf.org/). She is currently involved with the teaching garden project with "A Living Library" (https://alivinglibrary.org/).
She founded the Garden for Ghana Project and traveled nine times to work with schools and the local community to build teaching gardens in Yamoransa, Ghana. Currently, she is helping to fund an underserved school’s teaching garden filled with native Indian plants in Delhi, India.
She met Rod Diridon when he was a Santa Clara County Supervisor. She sought his advice and support for a San Jose maze chip garden, based on Bob Noyce’s early circuitry prototypes, that visitors would see in the Guadalupe River Park as they landed in San Jose. She is interested in the intersection of art, science, agriculture, and ecoliteracy as we collectively plan future land use in Santa Clara County. CNGF started this conversation as the Build 25 Initiative in 2017. Alrie, along with her partner of 33 years, Dr. Barry Slater, are proud of their wonderful, blended California family of 7 children and 15 grandchildren. |

Did you know that the Fair attracts thousands of visitors annually and has been a cherished Bay Area tradition for 40 years, blending theatrical performances with immersive historical experiences? It also provides a vibrant platform for artists, artisans, and performers, making a lasting impact on our community’s cultural landscape.

Who doesn’t love the traditional Thanksgiving meal? Join the Rotary Clubs of San Francisco Chinatown and San Francisco Evening and first responders from the San Francisco Police and Fire Departments as we partner with Self-Help for the Elderly to celebrate this day of giving thanks for our abundance and enjoy a wonderful holiday meal. The Thanksgiving Luncheon is held every November to provide elders in our community with an afternoon of good food, friends, and fun! The luncheon attracts over 3,000 guests each year, and continues to grow. Families and friends of the seniors also join for this holiday filled event. Guests will be served a delicious Thanksgiving meal with all the traditional fixings. Seniors that are not able to physically attend the luncheon will have their meal delivered to them so that they can still enjoy the event and the Thanksgiving meal. There are also plenty of opportunities to volunteer for the event and serve the seniors and their guests. Inform our Service Chair Georgina Lai if you are interested! |
