POINT WEST ROTARY
COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
RUN THE PARKWAY EVENT
The 2023 edition of the "Run the Parkway" event will be held on Sunday, November 5th. The event features both a half marathon and a 20 mile run, and is jointly conducted by the Sacramento Running Association and the American River Parkway Foundation. It is designated as the official training run for the California International Marathon. Proceeds from the event are used by the Parkway Foundation to support the preservation and enjoyment of the Parkway.
THIS IS A "RAIN OR SHINE" EVENT! (I have been lobbying Mother Nature extensively for a clear, cool morning, so things should (hopefully) work out!)
In the past, Point West Rotary has assisted with the run by operating one of the event water stops. We have again been asked to undertake this roll. Specifically, 15-20 Point West Rotarians are needed to staff the Ambassador Park water station in Rancho Cordova. Ambassador Park is situated along the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail (aka the "American River Bike Trail") about 1/3 of a mile east of trail milepost 18. A map is attached to this email depicting the location of the water stop. (If you can't read the map, just Google "Ambassador Park, Rancho Cordova" for directions.) Street parking will be available along Ambassador Drive.
Approximately 6 volunteers are needed beginning at 7:15 AM to help with setting up the water stop. The remaining volunteer force will need to check in by 8:00 AM. The stop will remain open until sometime between 11:00 AM and Noon. The work is light, consisting mainly of handing runners cups of water and energy bars, as well as cheering them on and providing them moral support for the remainder of the run.
Don't forget that the Executive Director of the Sacramento Running Association is Scott Abbot, the son of our own Dave Abbott. Point West Rotary has operated a water stop for this event several times and always received accolades for how well we performed. Let's keep the string going!!! (If we don't, I'll have to answer to "da Judge"!)
To summarize, the relevant facts are:
What: RUN THE PARKWAY WATER STOP
Where: AMBASSADOR PARK, RANCHO CORDOVA
When: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH. SIX VOLUNTEERS NEEDED BY 7:15 AM, REMAINDER BY 8:00 AM
If you are able to volunteer for this event, please email me at dhall@wickland.com, or call me at (916) 978-2460. And remember: "Volunteers are paid in six figures: S-M-I-L-E-S!!!"

Veteran's Day Program
Nov 10, 2023
Join us for our annual Veteran's Day program where we honor those that have served our country. Our speaker will be Gen. Alice Astafan, who became the first woman in the history of the military reserve, from any service, to pin on a second star. It also made her the third woman in Air Force history to become a major general and the first female two-star in the Air Force in a decade. Major General Astafan is a Vietnam veteran and Bronze Star medal holder. She spent 13 years on active duty before joining the reserve.

It's that time of the year when Point West Rotarians come out in force to participate in the Salvation Army's "Red Kettle Bell Ringing". This year we will be ringing the bell at Bel Air Market (Arden & Eastern) from 10 am to 6 pm on Friday, December 15th. We will have a bell/kettle at each of their two doors and look forward to greeting customers and seeing friends/neighbors, all while we hope to raise more than the $1,000 we raised last year! Available are one-hour shifts (two people per kettle) - contact Bob Berger to sign up (916-397-2070) or robertwberger@sbcglobal.com.
