Stacy Graham has been named the District Governor Nominee Designate for 2023-2024. Stacy’s home club is “Gold Country Rotary”. Congratulations Stacy!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!
The new year flutters in
On a whisper of wind, a sprinkle of rain, and a feathering of snow.
It carries a powerful gift:
One of anticipation, and revival, and hope.
Our hands have been busy
Helping others, defining needs, spreading joy
Wherever we could, as much as we could,
Given the closures and safety concerns.
Yet in our minds
We have still been waiting, waiting for more,
Waiting for openings, waiting for gatherings,
Waiting for the day we can throw our arms around those we love
And dance in the streets and sing in the puddles,
And join in bigger groups and make a bigger difference.
And now the new year is here.
One of the Four Agreements*
Is to always do our best every day even when what our best is changes from day to day …
And so we have!
I am so proud of the courage and commitment
Effort and engagement and beautiful hearts of service
That make up the Clubs of District 5190.
Our communities continue to be blessed by the good works of our Rotarians.
And now, the new year offers hope of even more.
Rotary opens opportunities
To make transformative changes in our communities, around the world, and in ourselves.
And as we do, we grow, from the inside out.
Welcome, 2021! Happy New Year everyone! The JOurneY continues.
“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'...” ― Alfred Lord Tennyson
Whispering 'it will be happier'...” ― Alfred Lord Tennyson

The Rotary Club of Nevada City held two drive-by COVID face mask giveaways in partnership with Nevada County Mask Warriors on Saturday June 13th and July 11th. The Club gave away over 600 masks to patrons who drove through in their cars. A local Rotarian donated use of his auto repair facility to easily accommodate people driving through the parking lot to pick up their free masks. The Club collected over $750 in contributions during the two events. The contributions were given to Nevada County Mask Warriors and will purchase supplies for local sewers to make another 1,500 masks.

Captain Encouragement is the face of Call to Inspire's Youth Program, a program which goes to schools across to teach children (Pre-k to 3rd grade) about the values of non-violence, compassion, and how to properly deal with situations involving bullying. The program reaches children through various programs ranging from the Introduction to Superhero Training program all the way up to the complete Superhero Training Course, as well as through the comic book based on the Captain Encouragement character. As a result of Covid-19 the school assemblies were halted and other means to keep the program alive was used including educational videos. In order to encourage the Captain Encouragement program, the Rotary Club of Jackson provided funds for videos and other materials as part of a District Service Grant.
These and other videos can be found on the Captain Encouragement YouTube channel at:
