Fellowship Event - Rocky Point Kayak Cruise
2026-06-13 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Rocky Point, Klamath Falls, 28121 Rocky Point Rd, Klamath Falls, OR, 97601, United States
All this great sunny weather has the great outdoors calling, and we’ve got a fellowship adventure for you! Please join us at 10am on Saturday, June 13 at Rocky Point, Klamath Falls (just about 15 min past Lake of the Woods) for a kayak “cruise” to Harriman’s Springs Restaurant and back to Rocky Point by 2pm (roughly). This slow-paced paddle adventure will be about a 4-hour round trip (including fellowship lunch break) that will allow you to soak up nature and hopefully catch some sightings of birds and wildlife.
No boat, no problem. There will be an option to rent at Rocky Point Resort and some members may have extras to offer (see below)! Renters should plan on a 4-hour timeframe for rental, and you may want to rent your boat before arriving to make sure you have one. Bring sunscreen, binoculars, and most importantly, the appropriate boating and SUP board safety gear (rentals provide this)! If you have additional questions about this route specifically, please reach out to Tim Chesley, johntimchesley@yahoo.com who may be able to offer some suggestions. RSVP to Danette twomaas4u@aol.com 541-621-0918. Additionally, if you have extra kayaks or paddle boards to offer, please let us know!

First Annual Sip & Stroll for Polio
2026-10-03 12:00 - 16:00 | Pear Blossom Park, 204 N Bartlett St., Medford, OR, 97501, United States
Help eradicate polio one tasting at a time during Medford Rogue Rotary Club’s First Annual “Sip & Stroll for Polio” walk on Saturday, October 3rd.
“Sip & Stroll for Polio” is a creative way for people to enjoy a variety of drink tastings in downtown Medford while helping in the international fight against polio. The event blends one of the region’s favorite pastimes with an awareness campaign about this important issue that has afflicted millions around the globe.
For $40 (pre-registered), participants receive a commemorative stainless-steel cup and a stampable map for tastings at multiple downtown bars/restaurants. Check-in takes place at Pear Blossom park in downtown Medford from 12-23m, and the bar tour runs until 4pm.
With event expenses underwritten by our generous sponsors, one “Sip & Stroll for Polio” ticket vaccinates approximately 266 children. Additionally, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged to match donations 2:1, so a $40 ticket raises $120 in the fight against polio, providing 800 vaccines.
Polio is a highly contagious disease that occurs most prominently in children and can cause permanent paralysis. Rotary International clubs have been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, and their goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. Rotary members have contributed more than $2.9 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect over three billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort.
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free.
