This is our club's last time to volunteer at the Food Bank for a while so please come if you can!

What a great way to get some Holiday or Christmas Spirit - volunteer! 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.

Cracking the Millennial Code

Like it or not Millennials are taking over the workforce and by 2025 will represent 3 out of every 4 employees. This means that successful leaders need to be equipped with practical strategies for motivating, training and retaining millennials. In other words we need to know how to talk to the younger generations so that they won’t have their feelings hurt and will get their work done. This presentation is designed to help you do just that by teaching you language tools you can start using immediately to bring more productivity, and harmony to your teams.  

When Kay and Shila were 10 and 17, their parents quit their careers and “bet it all” to buy a tiny breakfast restaurant in a California ski town. These sisters instantly gained a front row seat to the drama of American entrepreneurship, all while bussing tables and working the new family business on the daily. As they became adults, they joined the ownership and helped grow the business into a national brand featured on Food Network and in the New York Times. With Mom and Dad now retired, Kay and Shila lead the business as it serves millions of guests across multiple states each year. Often noted for their unique marketing strategies and dedication to development Kay and Shila continue to seek new business growth and opportunities.

On an even broader stage, Kay and Shila share their stories and strategies as speakers and podcasts hosts, and as the marketing faculty for leadership expert and bestselling author John Maxwell’s 25,000-member team. They love to deliver delightful experiences coupled with results-oriented focus. Whether they’re running a half marathon, on stage in front of thousands, or driving the kids home from school, they pursue fulfillment and encourage others to do the same. In their precious down time, Kay and Shila enjoy spending time with their husbands and children in their hometown of Reno, Nevada.

Margo Memmott, Senior Archaeologist at Broadbent & Associates, Inc., has more than twenty years of experience in her field. Currently, Memmott leads the Cultural Resources Division of Broadbent & Associates, Inc. Reno’s office. 

Recently, Broadbent’s northern Nevada cultural resources team completed the last phase of a multi-year project in the historic mining town of Virginia City, Nevada. The multi-phase project, which began in 2013, was for the upgrade of water treatment facilities in Virginia City. Margo and her team were tasked with using historic documents, photos, and maps to determine areas of high cultural sensitivity.

Margo will be speaking to the Reno Rotary Club about the discoveries of the project, including remnants of once prominent features of the landscape below the surface of the streets of Virginia City. Her presentation, titled “A Useful Model:  Identifying Areas Sensitive for Archaeology in Virginia City, Nevada,” will focus on the project, its findings and what they tell us about the city’s rich history.

Very inspirational. A highlight of our year!
