May marks the last month of our Venture Club year. During May we will vote for officers for 2009-2010 and plan our end of the year BBQ.

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.

In January we completed the selection of our grant recipients. We also welcomed potential new members to Venture Club at a dinner and informational program at Woodstocks Pizza in Davis. We hope that the women who joined us for dinner will be coming to our upcoming events in February!

December was a busy month for Venture Club! We wrapped up our holiday See’s Candies sale on December 1st. On December 4th we partnered with Woodstock’s Pizza to offer punch and Cinnabread to hungry visitors to the Davis Downtown Business Association’s Holiday Open House. On December 10th we celebrated the holidays with a combination business meeting and holiday dinner. Likewise, we celebrated the holidays with Progress Ranch on December 14th, where we joined the boys in decorating cookies and doing holiday crafts.
