Be the reason someone smiles today.

Earlier this month we saw how the verdant grounds of West Valley College campus in Saratoga were abuzz with activity as the community enjoyed the Rotary Club of Saratoga Fine Art Show on April 30 and May 1, 2022. The grounds resonated with our theme, “Art that speaks to you”.

A hearty congratulation to all!  We should all be very proud of ourselves for bringing this back to our community after a two-year hiatus. A very special thanks to Carol Woodard and Alba Alamillo and to the Art Show Committee who worked on this for several months. The pre-art show party at Marcia and Russ Hansen’s home got us geared up for the next 48 hours. The post-art show party, led by Sandie Prevot, allowed us to relax in each other’s company! 

With 125 juried fine artists, the attendees enjoyed paintings, photography, woodwork, metal work, glass, pottery, fabric and leather design and beautiful jewelry.  Beautiful weather, music, fine wine and beer, and good food made for a perfect day. Also showcased were art from our schools, West Valley College and, for the first time, from our Rotarians.
 
Jeff Owens, a featured artist from a prior Art Show states, “The Saratoga Rotary Art Show has been and will continue to be one of the top art shows in the Bay area. The caliber of participating artists, combined with the beautiful venue, draws art collectors and connoisseurs from all around Silicon Valley. As an artist, I am excited to participate in the show every year, and when my collectors attend, they show me how much my art is appreciated in their lives. I hope to be a part of ‘The Rotary’ every year.”

Quoting H.E. Lucock, “No One can whistle a symphony. It takes a Whole orchestra to play it.”

Marthas Kitchen Truck Success Story

The Rotary club of Saratoga is delighted to inform the community that we have successfully completed a project to provide a refrigerated box truck to Martha’s kitchen in San Jose.

This truck will be used for moving food from food banks and donation sites while maintaining food quality and safety to deliver completed meals and groceries and transport supplies as needed. 

Pandemic related job loss has resulted in an explosive rise in food insecurity in Santa Clara county. Food distribution programs are seeing a 200 to 300 percent increase in food requests during the pandemic. Seeing this need while performing food preparation community service at Martha's Kitchen, the Rotary Club of Saratoga initiated a project to secure funding for a refrigerated truck. This was a herculean task but we were able to successfully complete it. The club would like to thank Second Harvest Food Bank, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, and Rotary Clubs of Saratoga, Los Gatos, Cupertino, Bangalore West India and Rotary Clubs of Area 6 for allowing us to fulfill our vision. We are blessed that we together are able to serve the community we live in.
