If you know a high school student who would like to enter either the Rotary Speech or Music Contest, have them contact President Lindy.

The Area 4 Music Contest will be held in cooperation with Music in the Mountains on March 21. Applications for the music contest can be downloaded on the Rotary Club of Nevada City website at NCRotary.org.

The Speech Contest theme is:

"Making Connections as We Create Lasting Change".

Rotary Leadership Training Part 2 will be held on Saturday, January 25 in Nevada City ... check the calendar by clicking on "Events" on the District 5190 website at www.rotarydistrict5190.org for details and registration info. RLI will start around 9AM and finish about 3:30PM. It's full of Rotary info plus a chance for business and personal growth with fellow Rotarians from Western Nevada County and the Auburn area.

Thanks to all who participated in our new project with the Nevada Union Interact students, Christmas tree recycling in Lake Wildwood, and a special thank you to Greg Marshall for coordinating with the team!!

We have a new addition to our Rotary Club family!! Penn Valley Rotary Club has become the chartered organization for our very own Penn Valley Cub Scout Pack 275! The Pack meets at Ready Springs School; Maria Galvez is the Cub Scout Pack leader while the Cubmaster is on deployment with the Air Force. We'll have them present at one of our meetings soon.

See you on Tuesday!!
