This event could be a volunteer’s dream! You can sleep in a little, get fed, listen to music and be really useful.
Bikefest 2008 will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6. at 329 Vereda Del Ciervo, Goleta
The day of contact person is Lou Ventura, and his phone numbers are 259-9317 and 685-1649.
There are more than 500 bikes to be assembled!
If you can bring metric tools, that will be helpful. Useful sizes include 8,10,12,13,14,15,17. Channel locks and crescent wrenches are always needed. We will have some wrenches here if you can’t bring any. If you have no idea what those tools are or how to use them, you’re not alone! Show up, and you’ll be taught.
Please RSVP to me no later than EOD Wednesday, Dec. 3 so I can let Lou know how many Rotaractors to expect.
Did you know that members of the Rotaract Club of Santa Barbara have now given more than 1,000 hours of community service? We sent out a press release with the news, and so far both EdHat and NoozHawk have picked it up.
So who’s given the most time? Our top-5 volunteers in hours are:
- Liz Werhane
- David Vo
- Dana Goba
- Rita Newhouse
- Jennifer Wang
Congrats everyone!
We have another chance to show off. In February, we spent a morning helping with odd jobs around the historic Stow House. The folks there were pretty impressed with how helpful we were, so when they had another project they wanted done right, they contacted us again. And, since they were quite nice and fun to work with, we said we’d help.
We need a dozen volunteers for Sunday, November 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Stow House is getting ready for its barn warming, i.e. the grand opening of its new education center. They need help cleaning up so that the former walnut packing house and surrounding area will be ready for this milestone. The party (on Nov. 16) will include a BBQ, live music and "ranchyard fun," which I assume involves a tractor.
Please RSVP to Liz: liz@sbrotaract.com. Wear grubby clothes and bring gloves if you have them. Feel free to hang out at Lake Los Carneros afterward. It’s a beautiful, underused spot.

The Fiddlers Convention is a day long celebration of American Folk Music at Stow House in Goleta sponsored by the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise.
Come out to volunteer and enjoy a day of music, fellowship, and sunshine! Anyone with a fiddle, banjo or other Appalachian type instrument can come out and play, participate in a jam session, or compete for cash prizes! Don’t have an instrument? Bring yourself and your vocal chords!
Rotaract has been asked this year to help in this exciting event to inspire and foster love for music. Let’s bring together children and adults from the local community to enjoy and appreciate America’s rich musical heritage!
The Fiddler’s Convention will be held on October 5, 2008 from 10AM-5PM at the historic Stow House in Goleta. Please contact Jennifer Wang for more information or if you would like to volunteer. Volunteer admission is free.
