The Board encourages everyone to remember, reflect upon and honor the tragic losses suffered by members of our community; the countless acts of valor of first responders and many other community members; and the resiliency of our community as we rebuild and recover; as well as to participate in a candlelight vigil and plaque dedication ceremony on October 7, 2018, at Lion's Park in Redwood Valley where the South Ukiah Rotary Club will unveil a "memory Rock" forever memorializing those who lost their lives in this tragedy.
