Avenue of Service _Club Service_               Project Title _Fellowship Activities_

We made a concerted effort to plan more fellowship activities this year: 
•    The Christmas Party is attended by 85 Members and Spouses.  We had a nice dinner with entertainment and dancing afterward.
•    The Summer Picnic was also very well attended by about half the Members, their spouses and children.
•    The golf outing was in the fall and had about 30% of the Members playing.
•    We rented the local Rock Climbing Gym and had a great turnout of Members and their Kids and Grandkids. 
•    We had a family ski day at Mount Rose with a BBQ at lunch.  We had bad weather so only about ten participants showed up and braved the  weather.
•    We have a Mystery Bus trip planned for May and are working on a group working day on the Tahoe Rim Trail.

Avenue of Service _Community Service__   Project Title:  At Risk Schools Project
Avenue of Service Chair:  Elizabeth Fielder and Steve Fonda

In 2010-2011, the Reno Central Rotary club completed a "schools assessment project" – identifying and filling specific needs of local schools that would otherwise go unmet because of funding constraints or other reasons.  Our Community Services Committee (comprised of 10-15 Rotarians) performed most of the work.  The project involved indentifying the more "at risk" or "needy" schools in our community, working with school officials to identify specific needs within their school, analyzing information gathered, and finally, choosing the schools and the needs to receive assistance from our club.  The project was completed over the course of approximately 8 months, and involved applying for and receiving a $2,000 District Simplified Grant.  Below is a list of the schools and the needs selected:
