Huge shout out to our members Kevin Coleman and Cody Bengoa for branding our kiosks up in Water Canyon this past weekend.
The kiosks were built by Gene Hunt and crew last year with help from a district grant. There are a total of 3 kiosks in the recreation area, all with various signage pertaining to the area. Now all 3 kiosks bear our Rotary Club of Winnemucca brand across the bottom board of each.
We'd also like to thank Jesse See with Carwil for making our "branding" idea a reality and building the brands for us!
What a great group of members we have! Thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication!

Here are the only rules we have for you:
• There are no regulations on team sizes. The more, the merrier!
• Use of colored paper will be allowed to cover the label. This is an option when you need a certain color to complete your art piece and the existing label will not work well. There are a few things to keep in mind, however. First of all, the Food Bank cannot accept any food cans that have torn or missing labels, so please ensure that you will not be damaging the label when you remove the paper. Secondly, we will be judging for certain awards based on creativity and use of labels. Keep that in mind when considering paper.
• Each vote is $1, and there are no minimum or maximum vote amounts. Each art sculpture will have their own collection boxes and whomever has the most votes at the end of the night will be the winner of our “People’s Choice” award.
• The other awards we will be judging for are Original Labels, Creativity, Commercial, and Non-Commercial. (A hand selected panel of judges will be on-site to provide a non-biased decision on the best for those categories.)
• You may use anything to support your structure. Some ideas are thin plywood, foam boards, pvc pipes…etc. The sky is the limit but please keep in mind that we must clean everything up by Sunday. Perhaps cutting pieces of plywood and other materials may be a more suitable task to complete at home or work before the actual event begins.
• Each structure can be hollow; however, extra points will be added for using food to fill the voids within your art piece. An example would be to fill your core with bags of pinto beans, or perhaps an entire case of green beans left in the box and wrapper to help with stability.
• Teams, along with other volunteers, are expected to help tear down the art sculptures on Sunday and deliver all of the food to the local food bank office. We will have a representative from the food bank on hand to assist with this, but we will need all the help we can get!
• Boxes can be used, but please not directly in the structure. Boxes cannot hold as much weight as a can can (HA!)
• No glass jars!
• And most importantly, HAVE FUN! We know that when things get going, we all tend to be a little competitive. Just remember that this is for an amazing cause in a much needed time and anything we do will be a huge help to feed the hungry members in our community.
PLEASE use as many of the following items in your creation as possible. They're specifically requested as being needed by our local food bank:
Canned soups
Canned meals (Ravioli, chili, beef stew, etc.)
Canned beans (all varieties)
Canned Vegetables
Canned fruit
Canned meats (tuna, spam, etc.)
Boxed pastas
Spaghetti Sauce
Cold Cereal and Oatmeal
Macaroni and Cheese
Hamburger/Chicken/Tuna Helper
Stuffing
Canned and/or powdered milk
Instant Potatoes

President Dave Jensen congratulates Cody Bengoa for receiving the Paul Harris award for generously giving $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation
Thinking of attending or sending your kids to a Rotary youth camp this summer? The District 5190 website has information on two upcoming camps that may be of interest:
At the recent Rotary District 5190 Rotary conference, the Rotary Club of Winnemucca was awarded the district "Literacy Project of the Year" for medium sized clubs in the 54 club district which spans northern Nevada and northern California.
The Rotary Club of Winnemucca donated two hundred and eighty Literacy Kits for each child who participated in the annual Humboldt County School District Kindergarten registration held in April. Each incoming student received a pencil, paper, an eraser, a pencil sharpener, chalk and a chalkboard, scissors, glue, crayons, an alphabet sheet, play dough, a public library card application, Unifix cubes for counting, nursery rhyme coloring books, a book to read, and a bag to keep all of their things in.
Teachers or administrators at each school explained to parents how to help their child hold a pencil, how to print their name, how to use the alphabet sheets, how to count with their children, and how important it is to read to their children. Using scissors and colors improves fine motor skills and eye hand coordination which is important for children who are learning to read and write when they reach school age. Reading to children and learning nursery rhymes helps children learn the cadence of reading and also teaches them some of the most used words in our language.
The Rotary Club of Winnemucca is committed to making a difference for children in our community and wants parents and grandparents to know that it is never too early to read to a child. The larger a child’s vocabulary is when they begin school the better student they usually become.
