On December 19th 2020, Pat Ward, Dave Peeler and Jesse represented the Rotary Club of Grass Valley at the Wreaths Across America Ceremony.
The last picture is a wreath being placed by a Gold Star Mother who lost a son or daughter while on active duty in armed conflict. This wreath represents all members who were POWs or missing in action. The other wreaths were placed by members of each of the services in memory of the veterans of that service.

Our new President Seth Leishman conducted his first 'ZOOM' meeting on July 6th for the Rotary Year 2020-2021.

June 22nd - Last meeting of outgoing President Marcia Salter. Marcia started her year with a field trip to Curious Forge, with many events to follow including Speakeasy Casino Night, Speech Contest, Community Awards as well as many stimulating speakers. The last three months she faced leading the Rotary Club of Grass Valley during a Corona Virus Pandemic and a Pandemic induced economic depression. The Rotary Club began meeting using Zoom starting with an April 8th Zoom Social.
Seth Leishman will begin his Presidential Year with another Zoom meeting in July.
On April 8, 2020 a group of Grass Valley Rotarians came together for a Social Event in the Time of Covid19. There were 16 to 20 participants joining together mostly by Zoom Video and a few on audio only. It was a great gathering from remote locations and was enjoyed by all.
