In April the club will be busy selecting a recipient for our Student Aid
Award. This year we are looking for student who is committed to serving the
Yolo County community and who is also in need of financial assistance to
complete his or her education.
On March 28th, Venture Club sponsored an Easter party at Progress Ranch. The
boys enjoyed decorating cookies, making crafts, hunting for eggs and playing
Easter themed games. March also marked the beginning of the beer booth
season.

March marks the beginning of the beer booth season. March 11th will be the
first “Picnic in the Park” at the Davis Farmer’s Market, and therefore the
first of many Wednesday nights where the beer booth will be open for
business. Please stop by and enjoy a beer for charity!
In February the club awarded over $10,000 to local non-profit agencies. We
also awarded the Mae Carvell award to Pam Gill-Fisher, who has made
significant contributions promoting equality for female athletes in our
community and at a national level.
