Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club.

Meeting weekly helps members keep in touch with each other as well as with the ongoing club projects. Nonetheless, frequent complementary activities are planned each year to strengthen the club, including a holiday party, president demotion party, and several fundraisers.

One of the most exciting fundraisers is the Annual Radio Auction. Members of the club collect items and services donated from local organizations to auction off. The local radio station, KNCO 830AM, broadcasts the five-hour event on a Saturday, while community listeners call in to place their bids. Last year's auction was a tremendous success with over $24,000 in proceeds. Our theme this year is "Focus on Youth", so 100% of the proceeds from the auction will be used to support key educational and leadership development activities for youth in our community, including several college scholarships.

Another fundraiser is the Nevada City Rotary Food Booth at the Nevada County Fair. Our club built the fairbooth in the early eighties originally selling Jalapeno Poppers. After several menu changes, we now serve pulled-pork sandwiches as well as BBQ beef sandwiches. There is no other event in our Club that brings members closer together. It is a social event with a fundraising twist.
