It's a new year AND a new decade and new opportunities to connect Passport One with Rotary! The board has been working hard to create a calendar that will inspire you to have fun while also giving back. Our first meeting (Jan 9) finds us touring Rise Against Hunger's new facility as well as packaging weekend backpacks of food for the students at Mustard Seed. We've also been invited by the W. Sac Centennial Club to help with their service project of picking up Wreaths placed for our veterans at a cemetery in Dixon. We've also got a trivia night planned for January 14th and Christie will be getting details out shortly.

Our two biggest events coming up, where we will need all hands on deck will be the Roseville Club's Taco Throwdown on April 18th and Wine'd Up for Youth on May 16th. Each of these events will help youth within our communities as well as Rotary youth programs. Please mark you calendars so you can make a difference in these kids' lives.

Thank you for being a part of Passport One!
