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
 
 
The Nevada City Rotary Foundation and Club are proud to be partnering with First 5 Nevada County to launch Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in Nevada County this summer! The Imagination Library is a book gifting program created by Dolly Parton to inspire a love of reading in young children, from birth to age five. The program sends high-quality, age-appropriate books directly to children’s homes each month at no cost to families, helping to build their home libraries and encourage early literacy. The Dollywood Foundation partners with local 501(c)(3) nonprofit and other dedicated organizations and local leaders in the community who work together as Local Program Partners.
 
Hallie Anderson is a Community Engagement Coordinator for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of California. She spends her "9-5" supporting and growing local Imagination Library programs all across Northern California and the Bay Area counties. This week, Hallie will be visiting Nevada City Rotary Thursday July 17 for our 5:30pm Social at Round Table Pizza. She will be sharing the magical power of the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library transforming the lives of young children at their most critical impressionable learning stage. And expanding our Club’s vision for implementing the program throughout our community.

Earlier this year the Nevada City Council approved a creative, visionary proposal by City Manager Sean Grayson and Cathy for the City, Chamber of Commerce, and merchants of Nevada City to with Nevada City Rotary to host a very special city-wide Pumpkins for Polio and More event this fall. Merchants will be displaying painted pumpkins in their windows around town in the days leading up to our annual Pumpkins for Polio and More Auction at Miners Foundry, on Wednesday, October 15 starting at 5:30pm.
 
Want to paint pumpkins? Save the dates for Pumpkins Painting Workshops:  Saturday, September 13, 2:30-5:30pm and Wednesday September 18, 5:30-8:00pm. 

Meanwhile, at the pumpkin patch ... 

Priorities for the coming weeks are to nurture our young pumpkins with water and nutrients as needed, ward off gophers with rosemary, eucalyptus and other natural tricks, and of course pick berries and other veggies as they ripen!
