Our ‘Thought for the Day’ reminded us to Practice the Humble Art..that we practice; by loving what we do we can trust that time toward it will take care of itself. We felt that at our July 10 Full Moon lunch (delish, YOU ARE WELCOME) meeting.

The Nevada City Rotary Foundation and Club areproud to be partnering with First 5 Nevada County to launch Dolly Parton'sImagination 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.
