Special thanks for her presentation on Ayurveda by Pp Louise Bennicoff-Johnson. She explored with us the holistic system of medicine that emphasizes the interconnectedness of Body … Mind … Spirit. She pointed out in many ways how it aims to achieve balance and harmony within each of these aspects to promote overall Health and Well-being viewing illness as an Imbalance. Thanks Louise for helping us see what we can do.
Cathy, Judy, Tom Ryan and Tom Milam, Robin, Karen, Andrea, Paula, Dennis, Carolyn, Jim. Miles and Kelly and David Babineau, with Ken Hunter, Louise and me

Want to reconnect with Lassie? We asked Jon Provost if he has a favorite Lassie show and he pointed us to the three part Odyssey series...a tender series. Lassie ends up far from home ... It is probably one of the most sentimental and beautifully filmed of all the Lassie episodes.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Nevada County — Now Accepting Enrollments!
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Nevada County officially launched August 1, 2025, and is now accepting enrollments for children ages 0-5! Hundreds of children were enrolled during the Nevada County Fair thanks to the Children's Activity booth run by First 5 Nevada County.
Nevada City Rotary Club and Foundation partnered with the Dollywood Foundation last Fall, and with the quick addition of First 5 Nevada County as a community partner and administrative lead, we have worked tirelessly to raise the funds needed to get the program going. Nearly a year later, we are excited to officially launch and start getting high-quality books into the homes of all Nevada County children 0-5 every month.
Our most sincere gratitude to all who have contributed to get this program up and running!
This year’s National Night Out & KidsColorFunRunon Tuesday August 5 was a colorful evening in Grass Valley’s Memorial Park. Kids of all ages were out in force grabbing NCPD grilled hot dogs and begging to be splattered with colored cornstarch! Thanks to our Nevada City Rotary Cookie Crispy Mom, we served an endless supply of rice crispy treats! And not just the plain orginal ones…Cathy baked chocolate plus butterscotch and chocolate chip rice crispies too!

Once again, Chief Dan Foss stayed boringly colorless in is black NCPD uniform — unlike Paula, Cathy, and Robin. Thanks to Giudita and George for helping with the crispy bar, too! It is always a really fun time, especially the Kids Color Fun Run.
Board Meetings are held on the second Monday of the month. Our next Board meeting is August 11 at 5:30pm via Zoom.
Not a Board member but want to join us? Contact Robin or reply to this Rotario for instructions. All club members are encouraged to attend a meeting. Location/schedule is subject to change, please ask.
