Saratoga Rotary Club: Recent Activities and Upcoming Events
Greetings fellow Rotarians. As the weather transitions into, hopefully spring, we reflect on an eventful April, marked by numerous successes and initiatives undertaken by the Saratoga Rotary Club.
April Recap
April was indeed a successful month for the Saratoga Rotary Club. Los Altos Rotary offered an insightful presentation on recycling plastics. Notably, our own Nancy Shih and Phil Young are managing the Saratoga Rotary campaign, showcasing their dedication and leadership.
Jennifer Sarmanto from the Kyle J. Taylor Foundation delivered an educational and surprising program addressing Sudden Cardiac Arrest in younger people. This poignant session highlighted the tragic loss of her son, who had recently graduated from high school.
The Membership Committee introduced exciting ideas about affinity groups, allowing Rotarians to connect and share their similar interests more effectively.
Additionally, Sonal led our club in packing approximately 200 personal hygiene kits in collaboration with City Team, further demonstrating our commitment to community service.
Upcoming Events
As we step into May, there are several notable events to look forward to:
- Annual Saratoga Rotary Art Show: This eagerly anticipated event will kick off the month, featuring presentations on educating high school girls in Morocco as well as a speaker from The Innocence Project.
- At the end of May, we will be privileged to hear from the Ambassadors of Compassion. I have heard them twice at various Rotary events. Their impactful work with students and their compelling message has resonated at previous Rotary events.
- Area 11 Social: Right on the heels of the Art Show, we will gather for the Area 11 Social, where Rotary clubs from Los Gatos, Los Gatos Morning, Campbell, and Saratoga will meet for refreshments at The Terraces in Los Gatos. This inaugural multi-club event promises to be the first of many such gatherings.
As the weather warms, let's embrace the opportunity to engage and enjoy these enriching experiences.
