Downtown Holiday Festival and Bud Fish Tree Lighting Ceremony
Our Annual Downtown Holiday Festival & Tree Lighting Ceremony in historic downtown Truckee produced by the Truckee Downtown Merchants Association and Rotary Club of Truckee is in the history books. Lighting of the “Bud” Fish Tree, Santa, hot chocolate, caroling.
The festivities took place Friday November 22nd beginning at 4 p.m. when elementary school children decorated the Christmas trees and lined Donner Pass Road in historic downtown Truckee. Santa arrived at 4:30 p.m. and the Bud Fish Tree Lighting Ceremony began at 5:15 p.m. in front of the train depot.
Annual 'Bud' Fish Tree Lighting Ceremony:
Bud Fish was a charter member of the Rotary Club of Truckee, and a longtime Truckee resident. Bud had an abiding commitment to his family, his profession (forester), and his community. For years he saw to it that Fibreboard provided the Christmas tree for downtown, and assembled a crew of volunteers to put it up and decorate.
Upon Bud's death, the Rotary Club of Truckee secured, planted, and dedicated a permanent Christmas tree downtown in his memory. The Rotary Club partners with the American Cancer Society in welcoming the citizens of Truckee to the lighting of this memorial tree. Memorial tree ornaments can be purchased inside the Welcome Center for a donation to honor cancer survivors, or pay tribute to the lives lost to the disease, and raise money to help fight it. All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Truckee Tahoe.
Our 34th Annual Kid's Trout Derby was held on June 15th! It was a great success and a ton of fun for all participants, but especially the kids.
Details: 9am - 1pm at the Coldstream Pond (behind Donner Memorial State Park)
This free event is open to kids 12 and under, but older kids are welcome to come help the younger ones! Sign up at Mountain Hardware and Sports at 11320 Donner Pass Road, Truckee.
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.
