Time to do more dirty work on our Vaughn Middle School corner. This will be another dig day, removing the old dirt and exposing the irrigation connections. We'll have some heavy equipment available and we'll need plenty of people on shovel duty. Sign up here!
One more chance to honor our Paul Harris Fellows for the 2021-2022 year:
Cori Zancanella, Geoff Chapman, Jay Kolbet-Clausell, Pedro Esparza and Paige Holiday Wiele! In reviewing this past year, we would be remiss in not remembering those lost to us. Notable among all others are Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Rotarian Doug Morrin. May their memories always be a blessing.

Weekly Meeting - The Cocktail and Alcohol Culture of Virginia City, Lecture by Garrett Barmore6/7/2021
Garrett Barmore discusses the history of several alcoholic beverages and how they relate to daily life in Virginia City during the mining boom. If you'd like to follow along and play mixologist in your own kitchen, get the recipes here and stock up on the ingredients (we will be making the ones on the first page).
Garrett Barmore is Curator of the W. M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museum at the University of Nevada, Reno. He received his Master's Degree in Museology from the University of Washington and specializes in professionalizing small museums. Garrett is very interested in Nevada mining history and has worked as a historical archaeologist in Nevada. He is Past President of the Nevada Museums Assoc. Our first Holcomb clean up of the year went great! Weeds were cleared and a ton of new flowers were planted. Big thank you to our non-Rotarian volunteers who were suckered into helping: Tara, Aurora, Dan and other Dan.
