Reno South will be hosting Wheel of Fortune for the Veterans Home residents and giving prizes to the top three winners of each game. Afterwards, we will mingle and share See's Candies with all residents. Family and friends are welcome. The more the merrier.

We have a Vanna but are still looking for someone to play the role of host, Pat Sajak or Ryan Seacrest. To volunteer, please contact Kate. The rest of us will assist Vets and be a supportive audience.

Hi RSR Members,

I’m experiencing problems with the KTMB Christmas Tree Recycling signups site; I need to do a recount. If you and any guests are coming on Sunday, please RSVP via the link below.

Here are some details for recycling day, Sunday, January 5^th, 1PM – 4:30PM at Reno Sports Complex, 2975 N Virginia Street, Reno.

Parking is available anywhere except the two northernmost lots where we are collecting trees and cars are cycling through to exit.

A Porta Potty is available at the end of the lot.

Press will again bring hot water and cocoa/cider mixes. Thank you Press!!

When collecting trees:

• Ask first if they want you to remove the tree. Some people are picky about the vehicle finish. No tinsel, flocking or other junk allowed on the tree.
• No wreaths or loose small branches are allowed. They are too small to go through the chipper but can go into regular home trash receptacles.
• Collect $5 and put it directly into the locked cash box. We cannot make change. Optionally, donations can be made online or through QR code.
• Boy Scouts pay KTMB directly to drop off their trees. They will have a slip with the tree count. Put the slip into the money box.
• Recipients of the Washoe County Christmas Trees for Special Families will have a coupon for free tree drop off. Accept the coupon and put it in the money box.
• String lights are again being accepted. Drop them into the blue collection box.

Happy New Year and thank you for your service!!

Family Math Night, hosted by Nevada Math, is a fun event where families are exposed to math as the creative application of logic to solve complete problems. The math and logic focused activities include games, logic puzzles, art, and more. Activities are designed and selected for their ability to contribute to a student’s understanding of foundational math concepts, ability to logically organize their ideas, develop their problem-solving skills, and correct general misunderstandings about math.

From 4:15 to 5PM, Nevada Math staff will train us on how to run the activity stations. From 5 to 7PM, we will engage with the students and families in activities that make learning math fun.

Meet at the Food Bank, 550 Italy Drive, Sparks. The volunteer entrance is on the north side of the building, to the left as you face the building.

We will be packing boxes in the Food Bank's warehouse. Please wear close toed shoes. If you have not previously registered as a Food Bank volunteer, please complete a registration online.
