Rotarians Have Fun

Rotarians enjoy each others' company, and South Sacramento Rotary is no exception. Members gathered after work on January 17 at Track 7 to check out their brews and enjoy the conversation.

Giving Dictionaries to Third Graders

Several South Sacramento Rotarians came together on January 17 to deliver dictionaries to third graders at Fruitridge and Bret Harte Elementary Schools. Presenting the dictionaries is always a lot of fun because the kids get very excited when they start exploring the pages and looking at the beautiful pictures. Three more mornings of deliveries are scheduled.
