We have been fortunate to receive support from several Sonoma County Rotary clubs since our launch back in 2009. Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati was particularly helpful a few years ago in referring us to Downtown Autobody, which later applied our vehicle’s beautiful green paint job completely free of charge. We’ve also had a positive promotional relationship with member Irene Hilsendager’s media outlets, and member Tommy Sullivan has been looking after our rubber out of his Commerce Boulevard Big O’ Tires shop.

We had the honor of speaking to the club over breakfast recently to provide an update on the growth of our program. We all got excited about the possibilities of future collaboration, and member Gerard Giudice was inspired to invite us to help give away the dictionaries the club purchases each year for local 3rd graders. What a terrific idea! Two weeks later we rolled up to Monte Vista Elementary to make sure that the students not only brought home new dictionaries that day, but fabulous books of choice from our shelves as well. Pictured below is our Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati partner in literacy on the day, Micki Jones, whom we also know from our visits to her RP Boys & Girls Club. Thanks for a great event, Micki! And just let us know when you want us to help deliver some more dictionaries…
