July Program: History of the Fair Oaks Rotary Club

Our guest speaker for July will be Jim Purcell the president of the Fair Oaks Rotary Club. Jim will tell us the history of the Fair Oaks Rotary Club. The Rotary has been in existence for 60 years and contributing to the Fair Oaks community through many service projects big and small. Some of the projects have been the Annual Crab Feed in February, the Fair Oaks Fiesta in May, the Renaissance/Tudor Fayre in June, and Oktoberfest or course in October. Members volunteer at the High Schools, distribute Christmas baskets, donate blood, and serve on community, civic and non-profit boards. The last project completed by the Fair Oaks Rotary Club was the Clock Tower in downtown Fair Oaks.
