Do you remember growing up? Every year, right around the beginning of April, I would begin noticing tender shoots of grass popping up everywhere and blossoms sending off a faint perfume that caused me to stop and take in a deep breath. I wanted to walk in the woods and swim in lakes and head off to the beach. And the sky was so blue, with clouds so white that I wanted to reach up and touch them. Do you remember that it was right around April that your classmates (not YOU, of course) began daydreaming and/or cutting school? Just because we are no longer teenagers doesn’t mean that those same kind of “spring is in the air” feelings don’t emerge. This year all the more. We have been isolated, shut in, and covered up, and now spring is calling to us to fly like this year’s newly born birds from our nests.
Welcome one and all! Calling anyone and everyone who is interested in leadership in general or thinking about personal leadership development.
Members of the Rotary Club of Portola made masks and hand sanitizer to help keep their community safe. Products were distributed in many businesses througout the Portola area.

The Rotary International Convention, scheduled for 12-16 June 2021, in Taipei, Taiwan, will now be a virtual event in response to the ongoing threat of COVID-19.
We are sorry that we will not see you in Taipei this year, but this decision, made by the Rotary Board of Directors, is necessary to protect the health of everyone involved. We will share more details about the 2021 Rotary International Virtual Convention soon. Here’s what you need to know now:
RI will automatically cancel and refund all existing registrations. This includes purchases made for Rotaract, Youth Exchange, and Intercountry Committees preconvention events, and ticketed meal events.
We kindly ask that you NOT contact RI Registration to inquire about registration, ticket, or housing cancellations as they work diligently to inform all attendees and process cancellations and refunds. Those who had already canceled prior to today will receive a refund of the $50 processing fee.
The HOC event ticket fees will be refunded by the Taipei HOC. For more information, please visit rotarytaipei2021.org.
No action is required from those attendees who made accommodations secured within Rotary’s official housing block. Maritz, formerly Experient and Rotary’s official housing partner, will contact those who currently have rooms secured with the cancellation details. Others who have secured group room blocks and made a full or partial payment will receive a follow-up communication and instructions on receiving a refund.
We will post more details as they become available.
Join us for a wonderful evening of Celebration with Trustee and Past RI President Ian Riseley! Hear about our newest Area of Focus, the Environment, celebrate our generous donors, enjoy entertainment, heart-touching stories, and live Q & A with Past RI President Ian. You won't want to miss it!ATTN: Reno/Sparks Area Rotarians!
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.
