The 2026 Rotary Club of Folsom Oktoberfest was held on Sunday, October 25 at the Folsom Community Center from 3 pm to 7 pm. It was a joint fund-raiser with the Rotary Club of Folsom Lake.
 
 
The Rotary Club of Folsom entered the realm of the Folsom Renaissance Fair on September 26 and 27 at Folsom City Park.

Noble Rotarians donned their robes, took up their posts and prepared to serve the realm… one cup of mead and beer at a time.

 
 
On Saturday, September 19, the Rotary Club of Folsom worked on two projects. One of the day’s major projects was at Folsom’s Hope, where Rotarians tackled several playground improvements. The team helped install a new commercial-grade swing set, relocate and secure existing playground equipment with concrete footings, and give the existing shade structure a fresh coat of paint.
 
 
 
City leaders, community members, Rotarians, and public safety leaders gathered on September 17 at the Folsom Community Center for the Fifth Annual Public Safety Awards Luncheon, hosted by the Rotary Club of Folsom in partnership with the Sierra Law Enforcement Chaplaincy. 
 
 
In March, April, and May members of the Rotary Club of Folsom put in over 300 man hours building the new Castle Park. The playground consists of two separate play areas: a "Tots Lot" for children 2–5 years old and a play area for children 5–12 years old. Our club worked mainly on the Tots Lot. The new playground replaces the old one built by community volunteers in 1996, including many Rotarians.
 
 
To see members of the club in action building the playground, go to Castle Park Project in our Photo Albums.
 
The Rotary Club of Folsom awarded its 2026 Teacher Grants to Folsom teachers during the club’s March 26 meeting. Teachers are requested to submit an application for a grant of up to $500 to support materials, equipment, and innovative learning materials to support a project in their classroom. This year 41 teachers from 14 schools received a grant.
