Rotary Scholarship Awards Ceremony

Russian River Rotary awarded 26 scholarships on May 7th to El Molino and Laguna High School students, a record high number! Previously we had never awarded more than 20 students in a year. Below are pictures of all of the recipients along with two students who received special recognition. Congratulations to all of you!

This is Aaron Daniels and he was awarded the Samuel J. Pullaro Memorial Scholarship which is one of our top recognitions, and very dear to our hearts.

This is Natalie Milan and she also received one of our top recognitions which is the John Jordan Foundation Scholarship.

Here are all of our Class of 2019 scholarship students with the Russian River Rotarians.

Rotarians Serve Local Homeless

Rotarians came together to serve dinner to the Guerneville homeless at the winter shelter last Tuesday. Thanks to Lori Bruhner, the Rotarians (pictured Kim Menary, Terry Andreacchi and Jeff Davis) dish up sloppy joes, chips and cole slaw. Kim's grandson and Lori Bruhner make a great team dishing out the chips. Hans Bruhner and Daniela Hernandez - great meeters and greeters serving milk and cookies to about 50 participants at the Guerneville Vets Hall Homeless shelter.

32nd Annual Crab Feed Success!

Our 32nd Annual Crab Feed held January 26th was tremendous fun as well as a great success. The "Greatest Crab Feed on Earth", thanks to everyone's hard work, raised a ton of money for scholarships and grossed the most yet! Both our silent and live auctions garnered the most ever. There will be adjustments later but the first take has our grand total at $88,000!

In the photos are President Hans and Lori Bruhner with raffle tickets; State Senator Mike McGuire entertaining the crowd of 350; members of the El Molino H. S. Culinary Arts programs with crab; Herman G. Hernandez with his sister, Daniela and father, Herman J.; and past President Ed Smith. Lots more photos of this event can be found on our Facebook page.

Rotarians Feed Local Homeless

Rotarians served dinner to the Guerneville homeless at the winter shelter. Thanks to Northwood Restaurant for the delicious meat loaf!

The Russian River Rotary Foundation is collecting money to help with local Russian River flood relief. We will be purchasing some gift cards for children as well as gathering information about businesses that may have been hit hardest to see how we may best assist. Thank you for your help!
