Bring your own lunch picnic (there are concessions too) and our traditional bbq dinner at 6:00 - steak and chicken or shrimp. Come for all day or half, whatever your schedule allows. Burnt Cedar has a swimming pool with water slide, kiddie pool, playground, showers, volley ball, fishing and crawdad fishing so bring the kids & grandkids - make a day of it. More details and sign ups to follow.

 

Reno South has joined the Volunteers of America and other local service groups in Operation Backpack, an effort to provide a backpack and school supplies to Reno's homeless and at-risk children.  We know the challenges these kids face--we've heard their stories in our pioneering program, Achievement Beyond Obstacles.  Our participation in this program will help these kids stay and succeed in school.

 

Kate Nickolls (kat.nick89519@gmail.com) is "on point" for this project.  You may contact her for more information or visit http://operationbackpackncnn.org . 

 

You may choose to purchase a backpack and supplies and drop it off at a location listed on the web site, or bring to a meeting to give to Kate.  You can donate supplies, or $50 for a completely filled backpack.  Or any donation.  All of our donations stay in the community.

 

If you choose to donate $$, we suggest that you contribute to the Reno South Rotary Community Fund.  RSR will aggregate the $$ and contribute all at once.
