Welcome to the Rotary Club of Nevada City

 
There's something that all Rotary club members have in common: We take action. As community volunteers, we reach out to neighbors in need. We build, support, and organize. We save lives. We work locally and globally.
 
The main objective of Rotary is service -- in the community, the workplace and the world. Around the world and around the corner, the 1.2 million men and women of Rotary
  • Get involved in our communities
  • Connect with other professionals
  • Share their time and experience with young people
  • Support global causes, such as eradicating polio
  • Use our skills to help others
Rotary is not just an organization. It is a medicine for the soul, a family we choose, not inherit,
and a gift we give to ourselves and the world!
Past President Cathy Wilcox-Barnes.

Whether you're a veteran volunteer or new to community service, we are looking for people like you. Contact us for more information about Rotary and how to join us.

Our Club in Action

December 1-12, 2025 for Food Bank of Nevada County

As Cathy has been sharing, we are gearing up for the Area 4 "Inaugural Nevada County Rotary Food Drive." The winning club will receive a custom-engraved Rotary Food Drive Bell, which they can proudly keep until next year's challenge. Needless to say, our club immediately accepted the challenge. A food collection box is at each Club meeting and we encourage you to start collecting at home.
 
This is a fun way for us to try to "best" the other clubs. However, it is more than that. It is a way for us to easily donate much-needed food to help restock the depleted shelves at the Nevada County Food Bank. The challenge will be based on the weight of food collected.  Cathy is in communication with the Food Bank about their most pressing needs. We will send out a list of food items as we get closer.
 
On your mark, get ready, because the contest runs from December 1, 2025, to December 12, 2025.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Nevada County District 5190 Grant 

Nevada City, Truckee and Penn Valley Rotary teamed up with District 5190 for a $11,650 district grant. We have now received District 5190's $6,650 matching funds. The grant will fund the first year of personalize books for Nevada County children. 

Enrollments are growing

As of November 13, 809 children ages 0-5 are enrolled in the Imagination Library Nevada County program! Karen McDonald shared a heart warming story about a 2-year old child of a former student who came running to her at Mt St Mary's this week squealing "looky" with her first book.
 
Thank you to our Rotary partners for making the grant possible.  We are proud to partner with Dolly Parton's Imagination LibraryFirst 5 Nevada County, and the generous donors from our community to bring the joy of reading to littlest ones among us!

For prior years,

November 2025
