The Area 6 Community Project  at the San Benito County Historical Park is fast approaching. Area 6 clubs include (Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Gilroy, Gilroy Sunrise, Morgan Hill and Almaden Valley) The Area 6 clubs formed a collaboration called the Area 6 International Service Committee or (World Community Service 6) over 10 years ago to pool together District Designated Funds that come from your Rotary International contributions.  The RI contributions are invested for a 3 year cycle and then allocated back to the clubs in the Districts. Each year the Area 6 International Service Committee funds 2-3 Global Projects around the world, and also funds a community project which rotates each year through the Area 6 clubs. This year it is Hollister's turn, so let's unite in service and show the community our dedication here locally and globally. Remember that these projects are made possible by YOUR Rotary International Contributions. 

 

 

Please mark your calendars and start recruiting friends and family.  Please contact Rich Marcus richmarcus@sbcglobal.net if you are able to help with construction prep days. We specifically need help with masonry, some grading, trenching, electrical, and a few other items. 

 

For volunteer sign-ups on April 22nd (Main Work Day), please contact Amalia Ellis amalia@amaliaellisdesign.com

 

We need everyone in our Hollister club as well as all Area 6 clubs to make this a successful project.
