Redwood Empire Food Bank
Volunteering at the Redwood Empire Food Bank is a great way to give back to the community and is a feeling of accomplishment.
At the end of each session, they report how much was packaged that night. It is amazing to hear numbers in thousands and the tons.
The Rotary Club of Santa Rosa was at the Redwood Empire Food Bank last night bagging carrots. We work there on the second Wednesday of every month. Tonight Douglas Landin, Ted Wilmsen, Richard Lazovick, Robert Pierce, and myself.
The Santa Rosa Rotary club volunteers the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Please join us sometime.

As usual, we worked from 5:00 to 7:00 at the Redwood Empire Food Bank on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 (our standing second Wednesday of the month appointment) and there was a huge turnout!
From our club we had Kris Anderson, Sam McMillan (Rita too), Rick Allen, Tasia Henderson (and son), Richard Lazovick, Odalis Medianero, Robert Pierce. We were joined by several members of the Sonoma State University Alumni Rotaract Club, Santa Rosa Junior College Rotaract Club, Santa Rosa Sunrise Rotary Club, and the Coast Guard. I believe we bagged 7623 pounds of apples! There were so many people we actually finished early. See you all next month on December 14th for our next work evening.

Another Successful Meat Auction
On Saturday October 15th, 2022 another successful social and meat auction supporting “Youth in Agriculture” was held at the home of President-elect Ann Gospe and Rotarian Jeff Gospe!
During the evening, guests participated in three different fundraising activities. One way to be able to take home prizes was to win one of the many hand-curated lots of wine and cuts of lamb or pork by drawing a playing card.
The live auction, led by Past President Ray Giamapoli, offered select cuts of meat paired with a bottle of wine. Rotarians left with hams, wild-caught salmon, center-cut lamb chops paired with condiments, and legs of lamb!
The Paul Harris Squares board, overseen by Past President Debi Zaft, filled all 100 squares. Multiple winners received a bottle of wine or a dessert of their choosing…though everyone was waiting for the grand prize of an instant Paul Harris. To everyone’s surprise guest Kay Schultz, a former Healdsburg Rotarian won!
Thank you to the Gospes, Rotarian Steve Olsen, Rotarian Sam McMillan, and Past President Ray who made the whole event successful once again.

2018 Children’s Holiday Festival
On Saturday, December 15th, our annual Children’s Christmas Festival took place at Spreckels Performing Arts Center. 108 students, plus several adult chaperones, from six elementary schools were hosted by Santa (Tim Fawcett) and his elves (Judy Glenn, Steve Baime, Kris Anderson and Casey Carter); the children saw a performance of the Nutcracker Ballet, and afterward enjoyed punch and cookies (baked by elves Debi Zaft, Andrea Geary, Kim Graves, Kathy Schwartz, Ann Gospe, Kris Anderson, Diane Moresi, Casey Carter, and Judy Glenn), and a gift for every child from Santa. It was lots of fun for everyone!
