On Monday, November 11, members of the Rotary Clubs of Folsom, Historic Folsom, and Folsom Lake marched in the Folsom "Wayne Spence" Veterans Day Parade. The Interact Clubs of Folsom High School and Vista Del Lago High School marched with them and handed out candy to children along the route. The theme of the Rotary float this year was MASH (from the TV show) and the members of the clubs were dressed appropriately. Thanks to President Elect Scott Bailey for putting together another great float this year.

Santa's Christmas Cottage in Historic Folsom, right next to the ice rink, is all done and ready for Santa Claus. Rotarian John Messner spent countless hours pre-building the cottage in his garage. He built panels for the floor and walls and built roof sections. The building can be taken down and stored for next year. A volunteer crew from all three Rotary Clubs put the pre-built pieces together over 2 days. A large crane lifted the humongous roof structures and put them in place on the second day.

Prior to the start of the Rotary Club of Folsom October 24th meeting, there was a ceremonial passing of a Chevrolet van from the Rotary Club of Arden Arcade to the Rotary Club of Folsom to the Flying Samaritans Mother Lode Chapter. The van will be used in Mexico when the Mother Lode and Gold Coast Chapters of Flying Samaritans are on their missions to provide medical services to those in need in Baja California. The new van will replace a very rusted 25 year old Ford van.
