District Governor Sidney Smith Visit!

We had a great meeting in January with District Governor, Sidney Smith, speaking about his journey as a Rotarian. He honored our very own Adam Campbell with a Creating Hope Award. Congrats ADAM! Adrianne presented our club with 2 Foundation Awards - 2nd Place Per Capita Polio Plus Giving and 3rd Place Polio Plus Giving. And we had a moving conversation with RYLA student, Jack Sindt and his dad, Jacob Sindt about how RYLA impacted Jack's life for the better as a person, as a son and as a big brother. A big thanks to Del Oro Advisor, Dustin Fee, for guiding Jack into the RYLA program!

Passport One Supports Elk Grove Rotary

Posted by Bill Bowen on Oct 05, 2023

Rotary Passport One was happy to send a contingent of Rotarians to support the Rotary Club of Elk Grove with their fabulous event, Beef and Reef, this last week. President Lawana, Past District Governor Janice Gage, and Adrianne Pontarelli all enjoyed a night of oysters, tri-tip, and shrimp. The event supported local community programs throughout the Sacramento region. We can't wait for next year!

916 Day Service

Posted by Bill Bowen on Sep 21, 2023

Rotary Passport One was happy to celebrate '916 Day' with the wider Sacramento community this last week. Several Rotarians volunteered to plant trees in our local parks and helped to beautify these public spaces! Thank you to everyone who helped for providing "Service Above Self" and representing our club so well in the community.

The August Social was a kick (and step and kick and...). A lot of fun was had at the Opera House Saloon learning line dancing!

President Lawana's goals for her year: Increase Passport One's community presence, enhance our sense of community and fellowship and bring the fun!

A Fond Farewell for David Kenitzer.... not for the club, just for his year as Club President! We had a great get together to thank David for all of his dedication and service to our club through-out the 2022-2023 Rotary year. We look forward to his continued expertise as Past President now. We also welcomed Lawana Welch as our new Passport One Rotary Club President for 2023-2024. We're excited to see where this next year takes us!
