Cleaning Up Florin Road

The Luther Burbank High School NJROTC Program joined with South Sacramento Rotary on May 10 to clean up florin Road between Highway 99 and 24th Street. Breaking into teams, the students and Rotarians spread out over the area and collected trash of all sizes. At noon, they reconvened at the school and shared pizzas. Several vendors along the way thanked the groups for helping keep the area clean.

A Special Day



It's always a special day when South Sacramento Rotary presents funds to non-profit organizations that are helping make life a little brighter for those who have fallen on hard times. Receiving funds this year were Shelterbox, Camp Grizzly, Sacramento City College scholarships, the Y, St. John's Shelter, a scholarship for Luther Burbank High School, the South Sacramento Interfaith Partnership Food Closet, "I Can Do That," Women's Empowerment, Camellia Juniors, the Sacrmento Guitar Society, the Children's Receiving Home, the Moral Values Program, and Loaves and Fishes and Mustard Seed School. The club also sent a check in support of Rotary House which provides housing for the families of children who are going through treatment at the UC Med Center. It's always a highlight of the year as representatives share what their non-profits do and build new relationships with others in attendance.
