Events

PLEASE, don't forget to register for the club’s annual BBQ!  Register by August 21st to save your spot!

This year's event will again be at the fabulous Elm Estate. We'll enjoy music, games like corn hole and giant Jinga, while lounging on one of several patios and decks. You'll enjoy the casual places to stroll, hang out with friends, meet new people and to spend time with family and fellow Rotarians.

The wonderful summertime backyard dinner will be catered and all kinds of drinks will be available. Bring your lawn games and let's have a party! New Member Erik Riekenberg will be our excellent DJ for the event. 

The Rotary Club of Reno Annual BBQ

At The Elm Estate (Formerly the Chisholm House) 

1401 W 2^nd Street, Reno, NV 89503

5:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Monday, August 26th, 2019

$40 Members/Spouses -  $20 for Guests (non-spouse/partner or non-Rotarian)  - $10 Children Under 12 

Our UNR football tailgates are at KNPB World Headquarters, 1670 N. Virginia.  Parking is in the front lot for Rotary members only. 

Cost is $15 per person, $10 for children 12 and under. Tickets to the game are NOT included. 

Tailgates start 2 hours before kick off.  UNR plays Purdue in the season opener.

This season, we will do a reduced schedule of tailgate parties—we will not do one for each game.  

Our first tailgate is Friday, August 30 at KNPB. Party starts at 4:30 p.m. with food from Little Wall. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. Please RSVP by Monday, August 26.

This is a great way that your whole family can serve. Rotary's motto is "Service above Self;" here is one of the many ways you can do some service. Come join some great Rotarians and other community volunteers to help the Food Bank help those who are hungry across northern Nevada and northern California.

Our shift is now 9 - 11 AM - perfect! Then you have the rest of the day to do your shopping or other fun. Carpools might be available. Mention in your comments if you want to give or take a ride with another Rotarian.

We might be sorting and packing non-perishable foods or packing boxes distributed to seniors through the Commodity and Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) or sorting and packing bulk produce for distribution through the Mobile Harvest program and Partner Agencies.

Remember, hunger especially impacts children and seniors. 

Feel free to invite a friend but children must be at least age 10. You can also let us know of friends and family in comments.

Come volunteer with fellow Reno Rotarians at a fun Lemelson Family STEM Night!

Interested in helping the kids at Lemelson STEM Academy?
Interested in helping parents engage in their students' STEM education?  

Who: Rotarians / Spouses / Friends

What: Video of Science Nights 

- 15mins training

- 1 hour leading a STEM station for families (like using differnet types of pliers and scissors to explore what types of bird's beaks are best suited to eat which types of bird feed)

- 15 minutes supporting families as they start their family engineering challenge (like building a wind-powered car)

When: Sept 17, Arrive at 4:45pm, Families will arrive starting 5pm.  Ends ~6:15pm

Where:  2001 Soaring Eagle Dr, Reno, NV 89512

Why:  It is a LOT of fun and makes a BIG difference.  A teacher at this event several years ago pulled me aside and said, "Oh my gosh, there are fathers here!"  These events help truly bring the school community together in ways that do not often happen for these kids.  Our club provides a wide range of support to this high-need school, across reading-buddies, STEM education, Math Club, and service projects, and this concerted effort in conjunction with their staff ismaking a big impact on their school community.

How:  All you need to know is more science than a 2nd Grader!  You don't need to have a science background, just bring an interest in helping families learn and explore together.
