Rotary Club Events

Rotarian's, If you are not busy On September 3rd a Saturday in the evening, I hope you guys can make it to the 1st Member Social time of the year..?

I reserved the Patio sky box above first base at Arrowhead Credit Union Stadium..! It holds 30 and we have about 20 Rotarian's signed up so far. It is $22 per person, with Hot Dogs, Hamburgers & soda being provided, along with cookies for the kids.

Anyway, last time I was President we went twice and everyone had a great time. You know how important it is to get everyone involved with some bonding activity. What is more American that a AAA Baseball game..?

Talk to your Lovely Spouse and see if they would enjoy coming to the game.

The elevator to the Sky boxes starts transporting people at 6:00pm, food is being served at 6:45pm and the game starts at 7:05. And that night is a special Fireworks display. Get to experience 4th of July all over again!

Downtown Riverside is going to get loud for a great cause.
The 13th Annual Show and Go Car Show for Charity is back with 1,000 engines revved up and ready to show off next weekend.
Hosted by the Riverside East Rotary Club, the three-day event is jam-packed with giveaways, contests, product and food vendors, and cruising by classic vehicles. The event is free and open to the public.

"This is an incredible art and car show," said Cynthia DeSoto, Riverside East Rotary Club president. "The amount of time, investment, and participation generates a huge outcome. All profits go towards the city of Riverside . It generates money, it stimulates the economy, and it enhances the quality of life."

Kicking off at 6 p.m. April 29, classic cars, motorcycles, imports and hot rods will cruise down Market and Main streets between 14th Street and Mission Inn Avenue .

Ken Asche's flame-throwing car will highlight this year's show, and, throughout the event, Rusty Wallace's Nascar Stock Car will be on exhibit.

April 30 will start off with a $5 pancake breakfast at 6 a.m., provided by the Magnolia Center Rotary Club. The rest of the day will have plenty of festivities, including a parade and contests.

Sunday will commence with more cruising and service, food, and product vendors for spectators. An awards ceremony and giveaways, including a drawing for a 383 Stroker Engine or $2,000 cash, will bring the show to an end.

"This event is a vital part of our city. The profits do not go to just one segment of our city; we try to enhance all parts of Riverside . It's sensational," DeSoto said.

The charity show was started and produced by the Old Farts Racing Team. Since it began, it has raised more than $200,000, donated to charity by the Riverside East Rotary Club.

Show and Go Car Show receives an abundant amount of sponsorships each year. This year's main title sponsor is K&N Filters. Other major sponsors include Bud's Tire and Wheel, Wayne 's Engine Rebuilders and Auto Parts, NAPA Auto and Truck Parts, and AAA Auto Club.

"It brings a lot of noise for three days, and people have had complaints about this. However, when they read about it and the wonderful benefits the show produces, it tends to make hearts tender and even want to be a part of it," DeSoto said.

A message from 2010-2011 Riverside East Rotary Club President, Tim Williams

Dear Visitors,

On behalf of the Riverside East Rotary Club we welcome you. I have had the privilege of working the Show and Go Car Show for Charity since its inception and witnessed the coming of what is now considered the largest car show in the County of Riverside. Many participants and attendees alike say it's the BEST CAR SHOW in the INLAND EMPIRE; initially started with 300 vehicles and now limited to 1000. At one time car enthusiasts lined up at the Riverside Airport for our 1/8 mile drag race, which was an exciting part of the three day show. It has certainly been a playground and showcase for Automotive Restoration ART enthusiasts of classic cars.

The event not only appeases the eye of car show enthusiasts, but its outcome also impacts the community in which we live. Sponsors, Participants, and Volunteers for Show and Go Car Show for Charity are responsible for the compassionate acts that enable us to provide for those less fortunate. Show and Go Car Show for Charity dollars have enhanced the lives of many by funding direct needs and those that are brought to us by non-governmental agencies providing social services. We first and foremost strive to meet the needs of children and families. In addition, we serve the needs of seniors, and veterans. Our continued goal is to enrich our community by supporting sustainable programs in the areas of literacy and education, health and wellness, and economic and community development.

Please keep Riverside East Rotary Club in your directory as a resource to “Build a Better Community” and Rotary International in “Bridging Continents” for the betterment of all. (Visit us at www.riversideeastrotary.com)

We thank you for your generous support and hope to secure those of you who are visiting for the first time. Enjoy the Show!

With deep gratitude,
Tim Williams
President 2011-2012
