100 Acts of Service

Campaign

We’re on a mission!  For our Centennial Year the Rotary Club of Woodland is taking on the challenge of completing 100 Acts of Service!

What qualifies as an Act of Service? Simply ask yourself: Does it pass the Rotary Four-Way Test? We’re tracking every project, big or small, and celebrating as we go. Follow along as we work toward 100 and beyond!

Got questions, an idea or want to join in? Click here for more information or email Angela Lynn at angela@lynn-capital.com.

March 17th Meeting

President Aniek Pflager welcomed a good size group to our St. Patrick's Day session on an unusually warm late winter day. She thanked Don Huff and Clyde Brooker for their work in setting up the room, and she also recognized the 'back table' group of Carl Rodegerdts, Dan Stroski and Secretary Gary Bunch for their work too. President Aniek reports fundraising for the Centennial Project & Event continues to grow. President-elect Nick Roncoroni and Kris Kristensen traveled to Clark Pacific's headquarters in West Sacramento yesterday to meet with and personally thank Co-CEO Don Clark for his company's generous support. Don Clark, a former West Sacramento Rotarian, has agreed to speak at the Celebration. Finally, President Aniek distributed to Winners Choice Raffle tickets to members today, urging those receiving them to complete and turn in the stub to her so they can be included in the drawing. 

 President-elect Nick Roncoroni thanked the Club for enabling him to attend the PELS (President Elect Leadership) training put on by Rotary District 5160 in San Jose Mar 6-8. Nick enjoyed the experience of talking with many other president-elects from around the District, and heard incoming Rotary International President Olayinka 'Yinka' Babalolo. Rotary Youth leader Dan Stroski urged members to find local young people who might benefit from the Camp Royal Leadership training coming up in June in Lassen County. He has a local young person in mind. The Club Board will be making a decision on who the Club might sponsor at a cost of $1250. Answering President Aniek's request, Lori Ross will be handling decorations for the Centennial Celebration on April 25th and could use some help. Contact Lori directly to assist. She was also happy about the success of the recent Night to Shine event for young special needs folks. 

Don Huff and Dan Stroski were in the Century Spotlight today. Don was sponsored into the Club by George Berrettoni almost 40 years ago. Don served as Club President in 2012-13, following his father, Don Huff Jr., and his grandfather Don Huff Sr. in that role. Dan Stroski joined Rotary in Concord in 1989. After returning to Woodland Dan joined our Club in 2007, having been sponsored by Jeff Reisig.

 Dan Stroski took charge of today's Recognition (yes, Dan had a lot going on today!). He started by fining everyone who did not wear green today $5, and later asked questions about Rotary involvement in the community. Angela Lynn celebrated her 1979 birthday (Woodland) on March 13 on a trip to Cabo San Lucas Mexico with her husband Mike. Gary Wegener celebrated his March 4 birthday (Detroit MI) with a family outing to Mount Shasta in Siskiyou County. Jim McGibbon happily announced he delivered Angela when she was born. Don Huff 'rang the bell' twice for recent travels to Kona Hawaii, Oregon, and Scottsdale AZ for spring training baseball in honor of the late George Berretoni. Jim Nolan put in $20 to honor sophomore Cohen Dwyer's 3 for 4 plate appearance performace as Woodland High won a recent baseball game Jim attended. Cohen's dad, Brian Dwyer, put in $5 in pride for his son's effort. 

 Craig Perrin, Owner, Climate Action & Sustainability Planning, was our guest speaker today giving us a program on 'Woodland's Organics & Green Waste Recycling Program: What Success Looks Like'.

  Camp Royal '26

Dan Stroski has provided the above flyer on Camp Royal for 2026. District 5160 is looking for high school age students, particularly seniors, that might benefit from this wonderful character building event. More information is available at https://rotary5160.org/camp-royal/.  You can also contact Dan Stroski at 530 723-2246 with questions.  

March 10th Meeting/

Woodland Opera House Visit

After a short lunch meeting at the Hotel, we walked over to the Woodland Opera House Intermission Garden adjacent to the Opera House and Heritage Plaza. Several Woodland Sunrise and Luna Vista members met us there. Unfortunately, Tom Burmester, WOH Executive Director, was ill and could not join us as planned. In his place Eden Tomich, Executive Assistant, welcomed us and provided an overview of the concept of an outdoor stage within the Garden and related site improvements which Woodland Rotary, all three clubs, have selected for our Centennial Project. A copy of the latest site map showing the location of the stage within the Garden is displayed above. Afterwards many of us went inside the Opera House, upstairs to the lounge, to hear from Andrea St. Clair, WOH Education Director, provide us with a short history of the Opera House and a look at its current programming. The detailed original concept proposal for the outdoor stage in the Intermission Garden is available for review ('View Selected Project Concept') in the Centennial materials posted above on this page. 

Rotary Leadership Academy '26

Past President Dan Stroski was one of 17 Rotarians invited to participate in the Rotary District 5160 Leadership Academy held at the Fairmont Hotel in Woodland Feb 27-Mar 1. Dan successfuly completed the program designed to develop and inspire future District leaders, and earned the affectionate moniker 'Fountain of Youth'.
