Between 1980 and 1983, the Hamilton Transit Center served as a place of refuge and transition for more than 180,000 Southeast Asian refugees following the fall of Saigon, before they resettled across the United States.

Join the Rotary Club of Novato Sunrise and Rotary Club of Novato as we dedicate a central mural and two educational plaques to honor this remarkable chapter of local history

RCNS has been sponsoring the San Marin Robotics Club since it's inception in 2008. So proud to continue to help these students compete in annual competitions. They've done well over the years competing against teams that are much better funded and earning invitations to national and international events! Each year the tasks that the robots are to complete change and they have to build a new robot to meet the requirements. Today we heard from representatives of the club to learn of this year's requirements and how they had to design, program, test and repeat to fine tune their machine.

More than 20 nonprofits, public agencies, and community organizations will participate, all focused on improving quality of life for Marin seniors. Spread the word, and encourage Marin elders and the people in their lives to make the most of it.

We were so fortunate to have Michelle Detrick and her therapy dog Scout join us on Tuesday. Our first responders are confronted daily with extreme stress, which poses immense mental health challenges. The direct emotional support First Responder Therapy Dogs provide is so critical for these brave individuals to navigate those experiences successfully. Hats off to this incredible organization!

Proud of our club donating $1,000 to the Marin Builders Association for their workforce training program assisting underprivileged students so that they can get into the trades. Rick Wells does a great job connecting local contractors and youth to the trades.
