Please Join Us at Our Annual Demotion Dinner

It is a Rotary tradition that on the last Monday of June our club conducts a Demotion Ceremony to transition the President to the new rank of Past President.  The gavel is officially handed over, always extending the holding end, to the successor and new President, who by now should be looking for their Bell! 

 
This evening provides special time to acknowledge the accomplishments of Leadership greatness and notably honor the individual accomplishment of members.  The surprise of the evening is the unveiling of the President-Elect 2025-2026! 
 
Over the years there have been many great themes, awesome costumes, and many delicious dinners.  Friendships and spirits are combined to complete this fabulous evening of stories and laughter that fill the room. By now, it's possible, the bell is already gallivanting about!

Life Ring

Life Ring
Installed on the Walnut Grove Public Dock

          

While traveling abroad, Jim saw this Life Ring on every dock.  He snapped a photo and found out the company is USA based.  It was ordered, then Mark and Jim installed it on 3/26/2024.  The 24" Life Ring and 100' Rope provides equipment to use in case of an emergency.  It is located in the cabinet designed to protect the Life Ring from extreme weather and offer a good visual location on the dock.   Remember, if you need help, call 911.

Presidents Welcome:

Welcome to Walnut Grove - President Emily Pappalardo
Our Town on the River
President 2024-2025
Rotary Club of Walnut Grove in NorCal

I am honored and deeply grateful to have been chosen to lead our remarkable club. It is with great enthusiasm that I step into this role, ready to continue the legacy of service, camaraderie, and community impact that defines us.

As we embark on this new Rotary year, my goals are clear and focused. First and foremost, I aim to ensure that we have a fun and engaging year, filled with meaningful activities and opportunities to connect with one another. Our meetings and events should be a source of joy and inspiration, reflecting the spirit of Rotary.

Attracting new members is another key goal. By growing our membership, we can expand our reach and amplify our efforts to make a positive difference in our community. Each new member brings fresh perspectives, skills, and enthusiasm, and I encourage all of you to invite friends, colleagues, and community members to join us.

Additionally, I am excited to announce plans for a joint social event with the Clarksburg and Rio Vista Rotary Clubs. This event will be a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our bonds with fellow Rotarians, share ideas, and enjoy each other's company in our beautiful Delta.

We have done great things and will continue to do so. Thank you for your trust and support. Let's make this year one of the best yet!

Yours in Rotary,

Emily Pappalardo
President, Walnut Grove Rotary Club
