Come help with the planting day on Sunday! We have about 250 plants to get in the ground. We have a “blank slate” for planting on Sunday. We’ll be planting Sycamore trees, large shrubs such as Lemonadeberry and Coyote bush, and small shrubs and herbs such as the endemic Santa Barbara honeysuckle and Hoffmann’s nightshade, as well as Mugwort and California sunflower. We’ll transform the area in one morning, planting, mulching and watering. And best of all, the preserve is open for tours and picnics after the planting! Email lucille@sbrotaract.com for details.

As many of you may recall, during Liz’s presidency she was forunate enough to visit and tour northwest Italy as part of a program put on by the local Rotaract club. In a similar vein, another opportunity has recently presented itself, this time from the Rotaract Club of Columbo, which is the capital of Sri Lanka. 10 participants are chosen for the 9 day trip.

Noirtin would like to see more Rotaractors take what he calls the “natural next step” and become Rotarians. Working side by side on projects, he says, is the best way to make the transition smoother.
Happy 3 (and then some)-year anniversary to the Rotaract Club of Santa Barbara.
Thank you to all the Rotarians who have supported the club through these formative years and to the Rotaractors who make it so much fun.
