First, I must apologize for the less than ideal photograph of this loaf, but it was consumed so quickly by my family that I barely caught this image!

 

Friday's loaf for the raffle will be made from 100% freshly milled einkorn wheat berries, naturally fermented of course.  Einkorn is one of the "ancient grains" and has a deep nutty flavor.  I will be baking it in a tin so it will be nice for sandwiches.

 

Back by popular demand - Foodbank of Northern Nevada Project!

 

We all had a great time sorting food donations at the Foodbank of Northern Nevada in June 2022, so I have reserved a date to return and help them out again this year. 

 

Please mark your calendars for March 18, 2023.  It is only a 2 hour commitment which I think you will find fun and rewarding.

At our club meeting on December 9, 2022 Bailey Ivory and Marlita Fong described the life-changing experience of participating in RYLA and how are club can support the RYLA Bike Project.

 

Each year RYLA participants get to spend a day getting to know children from the Boys & Girls Clubs, then present them with a brand new bicycles.  It is a special event that lets the kids know that someone cares about them and is willing to invest in their future.

 

RYLA is requesting financial support for this project from all of the the Rotary clubs in the district.  Our support will help them purchase bicycles and helmets.

 

They have partnered with Scheels who is providing them bicycles and helmets that retail at $300-$500 for only $115 per unit.  In addition, they will provide lifetime repair service for these bicycles. 

 

Each bicycle we donate will have the following decal:

 

 

Our club's board of directors have requested that our charitable foundation donate at least two bicycles this year.  If you would like to support this effort, please send your donations to the RSR Charitable Foundation for the "RYLA Bike Project."

The Rotary theme for 2023-24 was announced January 9 at the International Assembly.  Thank you Jon Greene for bringing this to our attention.
