Had a wonderful time at the Harvest Moon Festival with some mini relays that brought awareness and donations to the End Polio Now campaign with Rotary District 5130's Torch Relay! A huge THANK YOU to the community members who donated so far, you are APPRECIATED! Every dollar you donated is matched twice and sent to the End Polio Now mission!

We headed up to meet Garberville Rotary today for the official torch handoff.

Next event for Rotary Club of Willits is Trivia Night at Northspur Brewing Co. this Wednesday 10/7 at 6:30 where we will handoff torches to Rotary Club of Fort Bragg CA and Ukiah Rotary Clubs! Stay to play or just stop by to support - have a brewsky, great pub food, and make a donation.

This whole event from Crescent City to Petaluma is being held from October 2 through October 24 where clubs from all over our district are fundraising for the World Polio Torch Relay for our End Polio Now mission.

We are fundraising for Polio where every dollar donated gets matched and sent to Rotary International to help end polio.

We are also signing volunteers up for a new program, Simple Gestures, where volunteers donate to fill a bag of food and other volunteers will drive to your house and pick up the bag of food on the first Saturday of the month starting in November and it helps support our local food bank.

This Thursday’s Rotary meeting we were excited to have Danilla Sands of United Disaster Relief of Northern California present on all the work for their new warehouse and shared with us all on the many ways they support people who’ve been in fires and other disasters with the work of wonderful volunteers and community donation resources, supporting them the first hours of a disaster through all levels of rebuilding. Keep an eye out for their upcoming fundraising and volunteer opportunities! And thank you for taking the time out presenting to our club! FYI: Rotary Club of Willits meets every Thursday at 12 pm at the Willits Senior Center.

A big thank you to the Willits Rotary Club for inviting our CEO, Danilla Sands, to speak today to a room filled with people who do so much for our community.

We were grateful for the opportunity to share some of the progress happening at United Disaster Relief of Northern California—our new permanent building, the incredible work of our volunteers, and the many opportunities ahead as we continue building a stronger resource for our community.

There’s always so much we want to share and only a short amount of time to say it all! If you’d like to learn more about UDRNC, our programs, volunteer opportunities, or what we’re building for the future, we’d love to show you in person.

Email us to schedule a tour and come see what’s happening!
