For the sixth year in a row, area Rotary Clubs - including Fortuna Sunrise, Fortuna and Ferndale - have given third graders in the Eel River Valley their own dictionary. "We've received letters over the years from kids who say it's the only book they've ever owned," said Mark Morgan, Fortuna Sunrise Rotary Club Project Chair. More...on the dictionary project. |

One of the most enjoyable evenings in our Rotary Club year is Theatre Night at The Ferndale Rep! This year's event was a wonderful production of Lettice & Lovage. Always one of the Club's largest fundraisers, the January production raised over $5000 to benefit Fortuna's Suzanne's House as well as Eel River Valley Youth Programs. Thanks to Chair Scott Downie and his great Committee for their hard work on this successful event. |

During the Holiday Season virtually every Club member volunteers some of their time
selling a variety of See's Candy at the Fortuna Shopping Center. Dean Cunningham
championed the event for yet another year with portions of the sales going to the
American Cancer Society and also the Club. This Season over $26,000 was sold and
THANKS! to the many members who gave their time and to the community for their
support.

In August the Club participated in the
Hops in Humboldt Festival in Rohner Park with a Burger Stand - the best lunch deal in the Park
according to some folks. New member Linda Jo Alexander chaired the successful
community service/fundraising event.
