Cleaning Windows at the Senior Center in Truckee
A wonderful group of Truckee Rotarians got to work with Spring chores on May 18th at the Truckee Senior Center. The group grabbed buckets, cleaning supplies, squeegees, and showed their team spirit cleaning windows at the center. Special recognition to Peggy Arnello, Community Service Co-Chair for coordinating the event. Our Club ALWAYS makes a difference in our community. Next up will be Truckee Day on Saturday, June 1st.
The incoming Rotary Board members met tonight for an evening of information sharing, goal setting, and, yes, fun!
The Rotary Club of Truckee, with the financial support of Rotary District 5190 has completed a district grant benefitting Hospitalito Atitlán, in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala. On an April 2024 visit to Hospitalito Atitlán, members of the Rotary Club of Truckee witnessed the in-progress construction of new facilities to house a nursing school, blood bank and four new clinics. These new facilities greatly increase the capacity of the hospital to serve the region surrounding Santiago Atitlán on the shores of Lake Atitlan. Finding that the hospital was seeking support to equip the new facilities, the Rotary Club of Truckee sought a district grant which was approved by Rotary District 5190 early this year. The budget for the grant was $5200 with $2500 coming from District 5190 District Designated Funds (DDF) and $2700 from the Rotary Club of Truckee. District Designated Funds are funds passed through the District from The Rotary Foundation.
Purchased with the district grant were two medical carts, four gooseneck lamps, three wall mount otoscopes, and one newborn scale. Funds from the grant also paid for a commemorative plaque acknowledging the contribution from the Rotary Club of Truckee and Rotary District 5190 to help equip the new facilities. The plaque, written in Spanish, will hang on the wall of the new clinics.
