We are pleased to INVITE YOU to our SPECIAL CELEBRATION OF 100 Years of Rotary in Mexico, which we will be celebrating with the "PASEO DEL FUEGO ROTARIO". Learn about what Rotarians do in the world and in your community and Celebrate with us the GREAT PASSION OF SERVING OTHERS with Love and Without any personal interest. Parade will end at Marina Terra at the pool area and there will be a cash BAR.

In this time of Covid-19 and the disappearance of so many activities from the calendar in San Carlos I wanted you to know that things are still happening. For Rotary, we are involved in the repairs and remodelling at the El Cobijo Home in San Jose. Funding has been secured for the first stage of the redevelopment and the construction is underway. Another 15 people will have a place to live once this is completed in a few weeks. The Rotary Scholarship Program is still oper...ating for the students that are able to attend classes. This initiative has become a hugely successful endeavour. We are able to continue to fund this program because over the years the club has set money aside for a 'rainy day' where we are unable to raise funds or had a shortfall. Our club continues to meet via ZOOM and we are progressing towards our AGM on March 9, 2021. We establish our Board of Directors, our calendar, our budget, and appoint an number of members to leadership roles relating to our fund raising events. We have our finger crossed that by the beginning of 2022 we will be back to some kind of normal and able to run events again. See more

Again, because of the Covid-19 pandemic we are not able to operate any of our normal activities this year: Cow Plop Bingo, Tour of Homes, Carne Asada Fiesta, School Christmas Parties, regular club meetings etc. We have saved enough money over the years to continue supporting local schools and our large scholarship program. We are already planning the return of all these events for next year. We look forward to seeing you all next year and thank you so much for your past support.

Greetings to all. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we have cancelled the annual Tour of Homes and the Carne Asada that we normally operate each January and March. Both events will return in 2022. The safety of all is the most important thing to consider at this time. Fortunately we have saved for a rainy day and will be able to cover the costs of our Scholarship Program until we are able to restart our fundraising actives next year. We thank you for all of your past support and look forward to resuming activities in a years time. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

El Cobijo is a home situated just north o Guaymas, Sonora MX in the small village San Jose. El Cobijo supplies lodging and other support for elderly men and women in dire need who have no other support. These are individuals who would be homeless and living on the street. A major flood 10 years ago damaged the facilitiy reducing the capcity to house residents. Yet the waiting list shows an increased need. San Carlos Rotary, in conjunction with the El Cobijo, have devel...oped a plan to restore and improve the whole facility. The first stage is to repair the damaged third of the current building that is currently unusable. The kiitchen will also be upgraged with additional work to address electrical issues stemming from the flood damage. The first stage is budgeted at $32,00 US and the plans and contractor are set and ready to go. San Carlos Rotary has raised $25,000 and needs $7,000 US to start the project immediately. Completion of the first phase will immediately add 15 more residents. San Carlos Rotary is also maintaining financial support for the huge Scholarship Program to ensure local students are able to continue their education through high schoo, university, and technical school. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we have had to cancel all of our local fundraising activities for this winter. We are looking to the community to help us support this initiative. Any financial support is appreciated. You are welcome to drop off donations at Coldwell Banker Encantado Realty - Bv. Manlio Beltrones Km 11.5 85506 San Carlos, Son. Mexico.
