South Lake Tahoe Rotary helps clean up Sawmill Pond

On Saturday, June 27, 2015, members of the Rotary Club of South Lake Tahoe gathered at Sawmill Pond to paint restrooms and signs, and to clean up. This has been an annual event for Rotarians headed up by Past President and Rotary Project Manager David Huber with the support of the USFS. Sawmill Pond is an excellent place for young ones to learn to fish. It is for children fifteen years and under. Parents are welcome to help, but not allowed to fish. Sawmill Pond gives children access to fishing in a beautiful stocked pond which hosts an annual children-only fishing derby.

The Rotary Club of South Lake Tahoe has adopted Sawmill Pond as one of its many service projects for the community. Saturday’s work was augmented with the help and active support of Bill Mohr and several Rotary Club members.

Rotary Club President David Jinkens said that the members of the Club are local business and professional people who give back their time, energy and talent in support of projects and scholarships that benefit our community and its young people. “Rotarians and the friends of Rotary care about the people who live in the South Shore and want to be part of projects and activities that benefit all community members, “Jinkens said.

The Rotary Club of South Lake Tahoe meets weekly generally at Harrah’s at noon and has interesting programs and activities. Guests and members of the community are invited to attend. Please check our website for details at http://www.sltrotary.org/
