San Benito County Historical Park Recipient of Rotary Area 6 Community Project
On Saturday April 22nd, the Rotary Club of Hollister along with San Juan Bautista, Gilroy, Gilroy Sunrise, Morgan Hill and Almaden Valley Rotary Clubs came together to make improvements to San Benito County Historical Park in Tres Pinos.

The Area 6 Community Project at the San Benito County Historical and Recreation Park took place on April 22nd (Earth Day). 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 Rotary District 5170 Designated Funds that come from Rotary International's Foundation contributions.  The Rotary Foundation 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. Area 6 club volunteers gathered together to spend their Saturday making upgrades to the Historical Park. We'd like to thank all of our Area 6 Rotarians for your time and financial support of this wonderful project.
 
Much of the groundwork of construction and planning was put in place by Hollister Rotarian and native Rich Marcus, who graciously took the lead on this project. This year’s Area 6 Improvement Project consisted of constructing a new BBQ area and upgrading an existing building for a serving area adjacent to Dunneville Dance Hall.  The Project  had several work project days prior to the final Work Day.

We Still Need Volunteers! Saturday, April 22nd - Area 6 Project at San Benito Historical Park
 
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. 
 
The main project work day will be Saturday April, 22, 2017.  9am-3pm +/-

April is End Polio Now Campaign Push - WE ARE THIS CLOSE
Rotarian Peter Anderson of Morgan Hill hiked to the base camp of Mt. Everest a few months ago on a personal mission to raise funds and awareness for #endpolionow. Hollister Rotary joined up and sponsored the mission and Peter took a photo with our club flag at the base! April is Rotary International's big push to end this crippling and preventable disease. If you can, please donate now so we can get rid of this disease forever. Checks can be made out to the Rotary Foundation with End Polio Now in the memo line. Paul Harris credits available. Please contact President Krystal Lomanto for details.
