Together, we grow, open opportunities and serve the community

Re-connecting: Looking Forward to a New Dawn

Elbow bumps to handshakes, air hugs to real hugs. We are fortunate and blessed as we set forth in the weeks ahead. As we do so, let us give strength to family and friends across the globe, who still have months to go in this journey. Rotarians in Action are leading “life giving” and “life changing” efforts on the front line. Since March 2020, our club members have contributed in excess of 300 service hours, helping with the emotional and physical wellbeing of the community. A loud shout-out to our service chairs and members who made this happen.

Now, let us look forward to a physically connected world where we can interact in person. Our June 4th and 11th meetings will remain virtual, but our June 18th meeting will be a hybrid (in-person + virtual), following county guidelines. As we enter the Memorial Day weekend, let's pause for a moment, take stock of what we have all gone through and forge a path of fellowship and service together.

"Together, we can make a difference."

Community Service Project: Martha's Kitchen

What a great start to the week on an early Monday morning by helping someone? Its good karma! Martha’s Kitchen on Willow Street offers this opportunity ! A clean, airy, bright, hygienic and socially distanced work tables allows volunteers to make sandwiches,cut vegetables or whatever else is needed for the day. The food assembled or prepared there (lunch and dinner) is taken to several places in the South Bay to feed the homeless. Two weeks ago, ten of us Rotarians, spent 2-4 hours doing just that!
Kudos to Jamie, Terrence, Cynthia, Larry, Maria, Phil, David Guidry (w/daughter), Sangita, Sesh and Nada (w/camera). Our club intends to do this monthly – so if you are interested, please contact our 2020-21 Community Services Chair – Jamie Price.

Saratoga Rotary help feed the hungry in our communities

Immediately reacting to the immediate needs of the local West Valley Community, the members of The Saratoga Rotary donated $11,000 to West Valley Community Services. The needed funds are for the increased demand for food due to COVID-19. In addition, the club has donated an additional $1,000 for food to West Valley College students who are food insecure and now effected by COVID-19. In addition, Saratoga Rotarians have also donated $800 for meals that go directly to our medical providers.
Stay tuned for additional stories of volunteering at kitchens that cater to the homeless.

Saratoga Rotary Art Show

We are very sorry to announce that the 2021 Saratoga Rotary Art Show has been cancelled due to COVID-19.

The 2022 Saratoga Rotary Art Show will be scheduled for first weekend in May. Produced since 1957 by members of the Rotary Club of Saratoga, the Art Show is the primary fund-raising event supporting local and international charities under the guidelines of the Saratoga Rotary Charitable Foundation. To date, the Saratoga Rotary Foundation has granted over $2.5 million to nonprofits serving the needs of the community.

Rotary is dedicated to improving lives, creating a better world and ending polio forever. With fighting disease as one of our causes and the current need in our communities, we encourage you to participate in our 2022 Art Show to support Rotary while also supporting our artists, while enjoying the company of friends, food and entertainment.
