 Rotary
International Convention - May 6-9, 2012 in Bangkok, Thailand
Please accept my personal invitation to join me and our fellow
Rotarians in Bangkok, Thailand, 6-9 May 2012, for the 103rd
Rotary International Convention – an incredible event in
one of the world’s most fascinating cities. Thailand is a
spectacular destination, truly the Land of a Thousand Smiles. I
would particularly urge Rotarians who have never visited Asia
before to consider this your chance. Bangkok is a fantastic
gateway to explore Southeast Asia and a wonderful experience on
its own for a shorter trip. For those who hail from countries
closer by, take the opportunities of a major cultural capital.
Indeed, for those who have been there already, you know that you
can never get enough of Bangkok. For more information, please
visit the Convention web site
here.

| What
does the Rotary Club of Cameron Park do? |
| What
we do in our local community |
What
we do Internationally |
The Rotary Club of Cameron Park is involved in a large number of
activities in our community. Here is a partial list of Rotary
Service projects:
 |
Provide
ongoing support for the Cameron Park Rotary Community
Observatory, a project completed in 2006. The Observatory was
donated to the El Dorado County Office of Education. |
|
In
2010, began and completed the construction of an amphitheater,
the "Star Theater", adjacent to the observatory. |
|
In
2010 we completed the fundraising effort to raise $100,000 in
matching funds to create a $200,000 Endowment fund to provide
local high schools with numerous vocational and trade school
related scholarship awards |
|
in
2010 we participated with three other local Rotary Clubs in an
annual event called "Christmas in April", a Rotary at
Work project. We team up with the Salvation Army and ring bells
in front of stores. We raised between $4,000 and $5,000 annually
with this event in the past two years for the local Salvation
Army and will continue this event in the future.. |
|
In
2010, participated with the Soroptimist International of Cameron
Park for the third year in the 21st Annual Show 'N' Shine event
held at the Cameron Park airport. Proceeds from this fundraising
event are divided between the Soroptimist and Rotary Clubs. |
|
In
2010, sponsors an ongoing Job Seeker program helping over 100
local residents to date to develop skills needed for fiding a
job in this difficult economy. The Rotary Club of Cameron Park
is the lead organization for a consortium of three local Rotary
Cubs and four local churches. |
|
The
Rotary Club of Cameron Park coordinates yearly, a Rotary Work
Project with three other local Rotary Clubs. The project
involves the set up and take down of the the Sugarloaf Fine Arts
Camp. The labor provides a savings of over two thousand dollars,
which the camp directors can apply to scholarships to fine arts
student campers. Joining the Rotary Club of Cameron Park members
in this Rotary Work Project are members from the Pollock
Pines/Camino Rotary Club, the Placerville Rotary Club and the El
Dorado Hills Rotary Club. |
