With two additional donations received last week: $3000 from the Jackson Rotary Club and $7000 from the Rotary Club of Porterville, in District 5230 - the donations to the District 5190 Community Fund for Fire Relief now exceed $100,000! While the needs continue to be felt in our fire-ravaged communities, the generosity of Rotarians and non-Rotarians is heartwarming.
DISTRICT 5190 ROTARIANS - PEOPLE OF ACTION
Our district covers over 96,000 square miles of Northeastern California and Northern Nevada, and is home to 60 unique Rotary and Rotaract Clubs. Our clubs focus on community and international service, youth programs and exchanges, leadership development, and fellowship activities. Our members are People of Action with hearts of service. The photos in the carousel above highlight a very small slice of all we do in the communities across the thirteen areas of our District.
MAY IS YOUTH SERVICE MONTH!
This month we celebrate Rotary’s youth service programs. And we have so much to celebrate! Rotarians believe in developing the next generation of leaders as our programs help young leaders build leadership skills, expand they’re education and learn the value of service.
Here in District 5190, we have a vast amount of Youth Service programs, including but not limited to:
- Rotary Youth Exchange
- Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
- Interact
- Rotary Eighth Grade Leadership
- Achievement Beyond Obstacles
- Music & Speech Contests
- Youth Scholarships
- Global & Peace Scholarships
Some clubs in our district even sponsor schools in their community and focus on rewarding students at different grade levels for their scholastic and leadership abilities. The Rotary Club of Grass Valley has a Student-of-the-Month program and invites the students to come to a Rotary meeting along with their parents and be recognized each month during the school year. I’m sure there are other clubs in our district that do something similar.
Other Rotary clubs sponsor a school garden and work with students to grow produce. And still other clubs work with Scouts, Boys & Girls clubs, 4-H and FFA to support their leadership programs.
Our children are our future, and I can’t think of a better way to “Serve...to Change Lives”.
Thank you, Rotarians, for what you do for our Youth!

On October 18, 2021, the Rotary Club of Greenville held their first fundraising/community event since the Dixie Fire destroyed the town of Greenville on August 4, 2021. Two Rotarians, one prospective member, and two appreciated volunteers worked in the first snow of the year and temperatures to chill the bone. This year's drive through clinic was moved from Greenville to Crescent Mills due to the fire damage.

We recently received $5900 from the Rotary Club of Lincoln in District 5180 to benefit victims of the Dixie, Caldor and other fires. The Community Fund fire response fund total is now over $33,000! Gift cards of $500 each are being provided for approved fire victim applicants and are being hand-delivered by Rotarians as one way of helping victims with their immediate needs such as food, gas and clothing.
Thanks to the Rotary Club of China Lake and their charitable foundation for the recent contribution of $3000 to the District 5190 Community Fund to benefit fire victims in our District! What a great show of Rotary support!
We heard that Plumas County radio held two events in Susanville and Chester to raise funds for the Dixie Fire victims. $29,000 is being contributed to our Rotary district community fund to be distributed to those in need! Thanks to Plumas County residents for helping their neighbors in need.
Because of Covid, many clubs are just starting to plan and conduct service projects in their communities, and District Grant funds are available to assist. The District Grant completion date has been extended to the end of the Rotary year, June 30th with final reports due July 15th.
This means that there is more time to apply for a District Grant which will match your club up to $2000 for a single club project! If your club partners with another club, an extra 25% will be added to the match! But wait, there's more: Bonus Grant dollars are available recognizing your club's contribution to the Annual Fund (which is the source of our grant funds) and no club matching dollars are needed.
Qualified clubs can apply for District Grants on the District website by clicking on the link below

Rotary Zone 26/27 has compiled a listing of possible sources to aid with on-line fundraising for clubs.
NOTE: These are examples of online platforms clubs can use for various types of events. There are many platforms available, so it is important to do your own research to determine which platform is best for your event. This list is not meant to be comprehensive and is NOT an endorsement for any platform or product. Rather, these are examples of what platforms are available. Some charge for their services and some are free. For the paid services, such as the online event and auction platforms, make sure you examine and compare all services and costs, including subscription costs, user fees, transaction fees, credit card fees, and availability of support. It is up to you to determine whether these events are legal in your area. Submit platforms you have found useful to virtualfundraising@zone2627.org.
