What Have We Been Up To?
Fair Oaks Rotary Helps with Rehab of
Northridge Garden Boxes
 
We at Fair Oaks Rotary had helped put these planter boxes in at Northridge Elementary years ago, but the pandemic led to their neglect.  That was noticed a few months ago during our Holiday Food Basket project, so we leapt into action on a recent Saturday, assisted by some parents from the school.
 
Armed with gardening implements and energized by Rotary fuel, we cleared the weeds and put fresh soil in the boxes, and scattered decomposed granite between them.
  
We thought the end result was pretty nice, and the kids were appreciative that they would be able to begin planting again.

Bella Vista HS Career Center
Benefits from Fair Oaks Rotary Grant
Fair Oaks Rotary helped the students at Bella Vista High School by providing their Career Center with a $1,000 grant for improvements and additional counseling materials.  The honorary presentation of the check was attended by Rotarians and some officers of the school's Interact club, which is sponsored by Fair Oaks Rotary.
 
Our club would like to thank residents of All Seasons - Residential Assisted Living of Orangevale, and the members of our club who helped to produce gift bags consisting of underwear, hand warmers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, washcloths, mouthwash, flashlights, soap and 1st aid supplies on Jan 29th. These gift bags were distributed on Jan 31st by the Homeless Assistance Resource Team (HART of Orangevale and Fair Oaks) at the Fair Oaks Library to needy residents from our area. This was a wonderful example of cooperation between our club, the residents of All Seasons and those people who donated the giveaway items! Thank you!! Community service is at the heart of what we do!
 
Students from the Fair Oaks Junior Rotary Club, known as Interact, were among the many volunteers working the water aid station at Mile 10 in Old Fair Oaks on Sunday morning, December 3 for the California International Marathon. 
 
More than 9,600 athletes participated. That's a lot of water to serve the runners as they speed by. Volunteers started at 5:30 am to set up the thousands of water cups needed and worked until 11 am to clean up. 
 
Cordova High School's cross country team lead by Josh Gruver sponsors the Mile 10 aid station with help from both Bella Vista and Cordova Interact clubs. 
 
Sacramento hosts this event each year. It is a qualifying event for the Boston Marathon. Special this year was that it also served as an Olympic Event Qualifier as well.
Rotarians were at it again, creating fun and happiness, while putting joy on the faces of little ones.  On October 27th, the community of Fair Oaks held the annual Safer Halloween in Old Fair Oaks Village.  This is an event where children 'trick or treat' their way through the shops of the village, and Fair Oaks Rotarians, dressed as various characters, provide candy and frivolity for all.  For two hours, from 11am to 1pm, the village is full of strange looking creatures, both big and small, that turn trick-or-treating into a family event.  The Rotary Club of Fair Oaks provided the candy, as well as the characters to make this event happen.  Our club looks forward to this event every year!
