This year's project will be landscape renovation & facilities maintenance at the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center. Please join us for a day of planting WaterWise color and Spring Cleanup for the season's outdoor events in this lovely oak canopied garden located on an historical site just south of the RSF Inn. Morning and afternoon shifts are available. We will hold a mini-class in Water Conserving Plants and Irrigation at the end of the mornings work, so you may take home some new knowledge along with the satisfaction of a job well done with fellow Rotarians. The irrigation system is being completely renovated thanks to a generous donation by the Rainbird Corporation and the Pro Bono work of Mariposa Landscape & Tree Service Inc, owned by Rotary member Fran Lambert. |
Fran Lambert will coordinate the day's activities. Camille Zeleny will select and oversee the planting of the new plant palette. A co-chairperson is needed to supervise the cleanup of the grounds, such as the fountains, walkways, walls, outdoor furniture, etc. We will also be spreading some organic mulch around the landscape. Please bring tools, gloves, etc. for the work you would like to do. There will be plenty for everyone to do so please join us! Family members are welcome so please bring them along. To sign up to volunteer, click on "Rotarians at Work Day" under Club Events on the left side of the main page. Then click on 'Volunteering" to sign up for a time slot. |

RSF Rotary Club Foundation
The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club Foundation has been in existence for many years and serves three main functions: It is the entity into which charitable donations to the Club are accepted; it is the entity that facilitates the charitable grants from the Club; and funds that are to be placed into permanent endowment also flow through the Rotary Foundation to the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, which is the steward of the Club's Endowment.
The RSF Rotary Foudnation has been very successful over the years as the Club has supported:
- Blanket and food programs in Rosarito BEach, Baja California
- Given thousands of dollars worth of grants to individual non profit organizations in the San Diego County Region
- Supported Water for Sudan
- Facilitates grants to military organizations with the guidance of the Military Advisory Committee
The RSF Rotary Fuundation is a way for every Rotarian to participate in the work of our club, in our community, in the nation and around the world.
UPDATE - WATER FOR SUDAN - In 2010 a total of 49 wells have been drilled and an estimated 300,000 lives have been saved because of this project.
UPDATE - PROJECT AMIGO - Colima, Mexico went from no education to College Degrees in impressive numbers. From 2009 - 2010, one law degree, and seven other degrees from the University of Colima were granted. Numerous others were able to attend Jr. High an dHigh School with the assistance of Rotary financial aid. Without this aid, no educations!
