Club Roundup

Scotts Valley Rotary Club
The ’50s Summer Nights Bid for Kids sock hop, dinner and auction was a huge success, raising more than $19,500 to help Scotts Valley High School student Kendra Kannegaard.
Funds were also raised to support the community and international club projects and the Interact clubs at the middle and high schools.
Rotarians hosted visitors from India in an International Friendship Exchange. Rotarians from the U.S. and India had the opportunity to learn more about the cultures of the other country.
The Rotary year is coming to an end, and club members will welcome Randy Klein of the Tutoring Club of Scotts Valley as the new president July 1.
More information and a list of upcoming speakers are on the club’s website.
The club meets at 12:15 p.m. Mondays at the Hilton Santa Cruz-Scotts Valley, 6001 La Madrona Drive.
