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 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.
