• Concern Report – Our long serving Rotarian, Steve Morales is in San Francisco Hospital recovering from a liver transplant and is doing well and sent a word of encouragement to those with health issues and would probably like texts and prayers and well wishes for him
  Former Rotarian, Kory Ley has had some huge flooding issues at her orchard on Dillard Road in Sacramento. Her entire orchard is flooded, and it was a levy breach of a private farmer, so they don’t have a fix and the next round is about to begin. Please pray and send her our best and I will keep you informed and let you know if she needs anything.
