Monarch Butterfly Work Day
On Friday, a group of RCI members, and several Master Gardeners, starting planting pollinators in our second plot in Pacheco Valley. The prior work preparing the ground was a big success. So, the actual planting went smoothly Over 250 starters were planted--which is 1/2 of the total to be done. Come join us next Friday (1/17) to finish it off.
RCI Supports Gilead House
Rotary Club of Ignacio provided an assortment of cookies to 8 families living at Gilead House in Novato. Gilead House supports vulnerable low income mothers and their children in a safe environment. On hand were Carrie Scrimshire, Executrie Director of Gilead House and Jayne Hulbert, past president of RCI. The cookies were prepared by club members for Gilead House as well as the club's annual holiday brunch. Each assortment included all types of cookies from chocolate chip to shortbread to "witches hats". Lots of delicious goodies for the holiday season for people that may need an extra treat.
 
RCI Members Honored
At the club's annual holiday party, three members were honored for their contributions towards supporting Rotary International including the fight against polio.
