Last Week's Presentation - Nevada Cares Campus by Dana Searcy

Dana Searcy is the Division Director of Housing and Homeless Services for Washoe County.  She described how the Nevada Cares Campus got started during the COVID pandemic and has now grown to a 46,000 sq. ft. facility that was built with funds from the federal government as well as the City of Reno, City of Sparks and Washoe County.  It that provides emergency shelter for up to 600 individuals per day.  They also provide wrap-around services to provide a path out of homelessness.

Kyleigh Kuehnis receives Paul Harris Award
President Lynn Clark gifted his granddaughter, Kyleigh Kuehnis, with her first Paul Harris Award.  Kyleigh not only joined us for our last meeting, but participated in the service project and the Food Bank of Northern Nevada the following day. 
 
Rotary Service at Food Bank of Northern Nevada
We had a nice turn out of Rotarians and family members for our May Service Event at the Food Bank of Northern Nevada last Saturday, May 11.  Donated food items were first screened for any damage or expiration.  Then they were categorized and boxed to the correct weight for each category before being placed on pallets for transportation.  Each person had their station in the assembly line.  As in the past, it is amazing how much work can be accomplished during our two-hour shift while being entertained with music.
 
Attendees included President Lynn Clark and his granddaughter Kyleigh Kuehnis, President-Elect Dan Waters, Past President Craig Sande with spouse Mary, organizer Steve Schroder with spouse Marcia, John Albrecht, Jon and Martha Greene, Susan Smith, and Jim Van Winkle with Spouse Ellie
