The Rotary Club of Brentwood was honored to welcome Miss Gigi Crowder from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) as our guest speaker.

Gigi shared powerful insights into the connection between untreated mental illness, homelessness, and the challenges faced by individuals and families throughout our communities. Her message reminded us that behind every struggle is a human being who deserves compassion, understanding, and access to support.

We are incredibly grateful for Gigi’s dedication and for the vital work NAMI does every day to create meaningful touchpoints that connect East Bay community members, families, and friends to the resources and services they need. Their work is changing lives and strengthening our communities.

The Rotary Club of Brentwood is proud to support organizations like NAMI that are making a real difference. We encourage everyone to follow NAMI and learn more about the programs, education, advocacy, and support they provide for those impacted by mental illness.

Thank you, Gigi, for sharing your knowledge, your passion, and your commitment to helping others. 💙

Service Above Self in Action 🛠️💙

This past weekend, the Rotary Club of Brentwood’s Rotary HOME Team rolled up their sleeves and spent the morning helping local seniors and neighbors with projects that may seem small to some, but make a big difference in everyday life.

🏡 House #1: Hung artwork, adjusted a garage door to close more softly, improved faucet flow, removed a non-working clock, cleaned bird droppings above the front door, and tackled several other household tasks.

📺 House #2: Lowered a television for easier viewing, removed artwork from behind the TV, relocated and rehung a clock, and helped make the space safer and more comfortable.

🌿 House #3: Trimmed overgrown bushes and power-washed driveway stains to improve curb appeal and safety.

The Rotary HOME Team exists because many of our neighbors simply need an extra set of hands. Whether it’s a minor repair, a household adjustment, or a little yard work, these acts of service help people remain comfortable, independent, and connected to their community.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who gave up part of their weekend to make life a little brighter for others. This is what Rotary is all about—neighbors helping neighbors and leaving our community better than we found it. 💛

What an AWESOME Monday at the Rotary Club of Brentwood! 💙⚙️

$1,500 from the Community Grant fund was provided to help Brentwood Elementary Odyssey of the Mind students travel to WORLDS 🌎👏 What an incredible example of our community rallying behind the next generation of innovators and leaders! Thank you Bruce & Community Grant committee for making this happen!

We were honored to hear from guest speaker Melissa McCarthy, who shared about the amazing programs happening within the Liberty Union High School District, including the upcoming Special Olympics at Freedom High School. The spirit of unity, inclusion, and encouragement behind these programs was truly inspiring.

A huge thank you as well to Steve Gursky of Gursky Ranch Country Store for being our Vocational Spotlight speaker! Steve and his family represent generations of “Service Above Self” here in Brentwood, and his energy and storytelling always make our meetings brighter.

We celebrated milestones too — welcoming back a returning member, trading in a red badge for a blue badge, and recognizing members during our very first attendance recognition ceremony! 🙌 Showing up matters, and every Rotarian who consistently gives their time and heart helps make our impact even greater. Thank you to Membership Chair Marsha for all you do to keep our club growing strong.

With the help of Denise Rugani, we also recognized outstanding Students of the Quarter from local high schools. These students exemplify academic excellence, leadership, and character. We are so proud to celebrate the example they are setting for others. ✨

And yes… Nigel legitimately lost his marbles 😂 but somehow it all worked out.

Thank you to President Tim Dahl for leading another meaningful, joyful, community-centered meeting. Mondays with Rotary are something special. 💙
