Guest Presentation: Future America
Nathan Kirshenbaum and Evelyn Layola Hatud
We were honored to receive
an update from Future America’s
CEO Nathan Kirshenbaum,
and Chief Operating
Officer Evelyn Layola
Hatud (a founding participant
of Future America).
Future America’s focus is an
anti-gang and anti-drug nonprofit
organization that was
founded by Gary Lawson in
1992. Future America is independently
financed through
generous donations within
the community. Without
business owners continuous
financial support and backing
this program would cease to
exist.
Future America prides itself
in providing the highest caliber
professionals to instruct
participants in the art of entertainment.
Currently they provide afterschool
activities for 7 local
schools 3 days a week , but
now they are doing their summer
program with 30+ kids.
Future America currently
focus on singing and dancing,
but with appropriate financial
backing would like to get back
into acting, modeling, video
broadcasting, and more.
“Don’t throw the baby out with the bath Water”- Gary Lawson
President Gary Lawson kicked off the meeting with some expressions that are casually thrown around without regard to their original meaning.
Such expressions were: dead ringer, graveyard shift, Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, S.H.I.T, and more. I’d explain them here, but than the only pull we’d have to get you back to the meetings would be the runny egg breakfast special.
Gary Lawson continued his weekly drawing for who wins a lunch with the President drawing. Assistant District Governor Luis Chacon’s business card was drawn for this week.
Club Visitors:
-Cheryl Morren– Don’s now
retired wife joined us today.
-Lidia Torres– The Chacon’s
daughter joined us.
-William Medina– West Covina
Chamber of Commerce.
-Nathan Kirshenbaum–

July 16th 2008
Guest Presentation: Frank Scalfaro Rose Float Foundation
Our guest speaker for the July 16th, 2009 meeting was the 2007 West Covina citizen of
the year Frank Scalfaro.
Frank is the Chairman and President of the West Covina Rose Float Foundation, a non-profit organization. Scalfaro gave an update of the joint discussion currently
going on in conjunction with Cal-Poly to form a Heritage Park Historical Preservation
to be operated out of Taylor Hall.
West Covina Rose Float Foundation promotes higher education for children through their Community Involvement Scholarship that focuses on celebrating the achievements and efforts of local high school students.
If you missed this year’s Evening of Wine & Roses, held June 21, 2008. You missed a
delicious dinner served by Chef Brian, great music from Cold Duck, and of course Fine
Wine.
The Evening of Wine & Roses is West Covina Rose Float Foundation’s largest fund raiser of the year, and they use the event to unveil the next float design, and recognize the high-school recipients of their achievement scholarships. SM
Future Guest Speakers:
Nathan Kirchenbaum– President of Future America West Covina.
New YWCA Director
Dr. Fujita– Talk about nutrition
If you would like to recommend a guest speaker please let Gary Know via e-mail.
The first meetings of every the month will not have a guest speaker so the club can
handle planning internal club business/events.
With the Fine Master away the mice will play, but get a coin
Fine Master, Mark Tedesco has
been out on vacation, and members
have relished in the calm
before the storm to come upon
his return.
In Tedesco’s first meeting as
Fine Master he instated new
rules that make getting fined
easier, and the added potential
that your fine may be doubled.
If you missed this meeting you
may be in for a big surprise
upon Tedesco’s return to the
country.
I am hesitant to put any of his
new terms into writing because
it seems as though the details
to the fine master’s madness
are subject to change without
notice and at his whim.
For now though in his absence
we remain safe, but just be
sure you have a Rotary Coin in
your pocket at all times upon
his return.
If you don’t have a coin, you
have a few weeks to pick one up
from Mark Taylor who was going
to bring in some some coins.

July 9th, 2009 The Sunrise
Guest Presentation: Luis Chacon Ass. District Governor
Our very own Assistant District Governor Luis Chacon was asked to speak to our club today by President Gary Lawson. The presentation was aimed to bring together the bigger picture of Rotary International, and how the leadership at the international
level trickles down and affects us at our local level.
We were asked not to lose sight of the bigger picture, but still understand that our
size generally limits our capabilities. Working as a team we will cover more ground, and prevent burnout.
Luis also reviewed our goal of netting one new member for the year. Quickly noting that although one sounds like an easy number we have about 6 members that will be officially phased out within the next two months alone.
Membership in some clubs is assigned to an individual member, but our club has opted out of having a single person responsible for membership.
By not having an individual focusing on this
capacity the responsibility falls onto each and every individual member.
Rotary is not open to all, nor is it meant for everyone. We should not blithely go after numbers alone. Instead, use your professional judgment when evaluating the qualities, drive, and ambition of an individual before inviting them to join Rotary. They should be a positive addition towards our club’s goals.
Luis also highlighted that we should try and revive some of our social activities. All work and no play wears people out. We need appropriate distribution of community service and fellowship amongst Rotarians to continue to have a strong impact.
Don Morren is organizing 4 day cruise for May 2009. Instead of the normal 3 day Baja cruise this goes North to Victoria. Details to come, but mark your calendar.
Lone Sorensen presented on the Rotary International Convention
Every we push to go to these, and it was finally in our back yard. Lone Sorensen was the only West Covina Sunrise member to participate in this year’s Rotary International Convention.
Lone attended all 5 days and shared some of her experiences that she had at this
convention. A great many projects that Rotary International is involved with had
booths set-up where you could learn intricate details of how it is going from the people setting it up.
From the report given it is an amazing event that you’d have to experience first hand
to truly grasp it. If you have not had an opportunity to attend a Rotary International Convention you should truly strive to make it to next years
convention.
It will be Rotary International’s 100th Convention and will be celebrated heavily
at Birmingham, England, UK.
Upcoming Events:
• 5k Run/Walk Saturday August 2nd, 7:30am. $20 benefits needy children in Los Angeles.
Contact Carolina
• September 10th meeting is dark.
• Make up meeting: September 11, 2009
District Governor Meeting will be held
at South Hills 12:00 noon.
• Day at the Theater is still planned and we
will have more details to come.
• We’re looking for a volunteer to request
the matching grant for the Shoes and
Socks program this year.
• May 2009 4 day cruise to Victoria, Pending

Red Ribbon Rally: The Red Ribbon Rally was a huge success. It was estimated that we baked approx. 150 more lbs of pancake mix than last year – and that amounts to a whole lot of pancakes…………
Thanks for all who volunteered
Especially Mark Dettor who chaired the event for our club.

Program: The speaker was John Mansino, with the Coalition on Urban Renewal & Education. IT was a very good presentation full of some very scary statistics in regards to the state of the public educational system. His organization is trying to make sure students enrolled in non-performing schools can utilize the No-One Left Behind vouchers to transfer to better schools – something that is not happening now. They are also trying to enrich the education and get the schools to emphasize Reading, Writing, Math & Science. Schools in the US lack far behind most Asian and European schools in testing, especially in Science & Math. They are also very concerned about the many forms of sexual education being taught to kids as young as 6 in 1st grade. Some of his examples were outrageous. The organization is looking for volunteers, people to write letters to editors etc., and also monetary donations. Please call 310-410-9981 for more info. You can also check out www.urbancure.org.
I think we need to invoke a new rule --- Marc Taylor can no longer participate in the weekly raffle ----- HE WON AGAIN>>>>>>> Jeezzzzz how many times can one person win; some people have all the luck J At least he only won $7. Now only 14 cards left…….

Every Rotarian, Every Year
Can you not afford less than $1.93 a week?
• As a Rotarian you are encouraged to support the work of OUR Rotary
Foundation by donating a minimum of $120 a year.
• Here are some suggestions for reaching this commitment painlessly:
• Have your club add $10 per month on to your bill.
• Sign up through www.rotary.org “member access” for an annual charge to
your credit card or checking account.
• Take your change out every night and then send into TRF.
An Invitation to Participate
Earlier this year we began the process of providing a venue filled with programs that would draw Rotarians from the most distant portions of our district 5300 to the 2007 District Conference. We are developing small committees that will be organized at the club level to get the word out and encourage other fellow Rotarians to get the wheels moving and become a part of the excitement. If you have fun being in on the action, helping to plan, eager to serve, you are needed. Call me now so we can begin to spread the workload out and at the same time, Share the Adventure. We are on the road to success and we need to be able to share this with hundreds of Rotarians and their friends. This event has all the potential of being the most attended conference in years. If you believe that we Rotarians are doing the right things, then step up to the plate and share Rotary with your friends and neighbors.
Now the ball is in your court! Let me hear from you and the role you want to play in this great opportunity. Climb aboard the adventure train and become a productive and interactive member of the Marketing Team for the 2007 District 5300 Conference!
Cliff Houser (day) (626) 568-4320, or e-mail: cliffhouser@sbcglobal.net
Program: Today's speaker was Sylvia Whitlock. Not only was she the very first FEMALE Rotary member, she was also the first female president of a Rotary club. The year was 1987 - yes, that’s right 1987, was the first year that Rotary International let a women become a member – and they didn’t do it willingly. It took several years, several courts – all the way to the US Supreme Court before Rotary International bowed to the pressure and let women join. Sylvia was a member of the Duarte Rotary Club - “The Mouse That Roared” club when she first joined. She is now a member of Claremont Rotary. Her presentation was great. She is very low key and tells a the very interesting story of her trials and tribulations in a very entertaining manner. Thank you Sylvia.

An Invitation to Participate
By: Cliff Houser, Marketing Chair for 2007 District Conference.
Earlier this year we began the process of providing a venue filled with programs that would draw Rotarians from the most distant portions of our district 5300 to the 2007 District Conference. The planning is not only exciting but it is one of the finest events I’ve had opportunity to help plan. What is on-going as we read, is the development of small committees that will be organized at the club level to get the word out and encourage other fellow Rotarians to get the wheels moving and become a part of the excitement. It really is contagious!
If you have fun being in on the action, helping to plan, eager to serve, you are needed. Call me now so we can begin to spread the workload out and at the same time, Share the Adventure. We are on the road to success and we need to be able to share this with hundreds of Rotarians and their friends. This Conference will also be a great opportunity for you to bring an interested party to see what Rotary District 5300 is all about. This event has all the potential of being the most attended conference in years. If you believe that we Rotarians are doing the right things, then step up to the plate and share Rotary with your friends and
neighbors.
A desire is only an idea held in expectation, that may come to pass!
The thing that brings us to fulfilling a desire is action. Now the ball is in your court! Let me hear from you and the role you want to play in this great opportunity.
Climb aboard the adventure train and become a productive and interactive member of the Marketing Team for the 2007 District 5300 Conference!

President’s Message: First and foremost, I want to thank the M&M club and all volunteers who turned out to help make our 14th Annual Golf tournament a success. Fortunately, we had plenty of Rotarians and friends and family of Rotarians who showed up the day of the event to give of their time. As Mark & Marc have noted, we can never have too many volunteers. The Golf tournament was a huge success and we will meet on Friday, May 12th to “wrap up” and take notes for next year.
Well, only eight more meetings until I’m tossed to the past-president bone yard. However, I am in good company. I have told our next president (Vatche) that he has my full support in his year. I hope you will do the same.
Our “Our Throw-Out” party is scheduled for Saturday, June 24, 2006. More details to follow, please mark your calendars and plan to attend.
Celebrity Golf Tournament -- April 24th, 2006.
The tournament was a huge success. Thanks to Mark & Marc for all their hard work. And thanks to all the volunteers who helped put together such a great event.

Meeting news: The last several meetings have been busy for the Sgt. of Arms. It seems a lot of our members like to vacation! Miriam and her husband went skiing in Mammoth, which cost her an additional $20 at the wheel. Kris Kelso and his girlfriend went to Death Valley – his spin was worth $25. Mark Tedesco and his wife went to Mexico on a kind-of-second- honeymoon -- their daughter just got married and is on her honeymoon and since dad forked over the cash for the wedding it seems he thought he deserved a little vacation too, and that cost him $15 at the wheel. Bruce Simms went to Needles with his family, and his spin cost him $25 – really cheap considering Carolina Chacon was trying to sell photos of Bruce posing in rabbit years for Easter……. Lastly but not least – we had a BIG 50 Birthday spin. None other than Luis Chacon. He got away cheap – a measly $15.
Oh, I almost forgot – Bill Tarozzi wasn’t wearing his pin and spun for $15. He tried to get out of spinning, claiming we were all lucky to see him fully dressed! It seems his wife is out of town and he is having problems ‘locating’ his clothes…..
At the latest meeting, Greg Benton got to spin. It seems he was featured in an article in a local paper. He is getting some attention as he tries to change the general public’s opinion about lawyers, trying to convince us that they are not all bad….
Member news: Gary, Gary, Gary… the length you will go through to get some attention….
All joking aside. I hope you are healing well and will have one of the best looking noses in town in a couple of weeks.
Group Study Exchange : What are 5 strangers doing in our District? If you didn't already know, we are currently hosting 5 individuals from the Group Study Exchange with District 1910 Austria-East, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia. Chris Leydolt is the team leader and recently retired from natural gas and investments. Masa Ostruh a lawyer. Iris Marlovits works with the chamber of commerce. Szabolcs Horvai is an ENT doctor, while Simone Scholz works in the telecommunications industry.
They are here to travel through our district, experience our culture and visit with Rotarians of their same vocation. We are charged with hosting them, showing them a good time, cultural and civic experience. In return they will speak to a few of our clubs while they are here. In these talks they will share their experiences and describe their lives back home. Please contact GSE Chair Charles Barr for more information about this group. They arrived on April 22nd and will finish off their tour with our District Conference on May 20th.
Now our district needs your help. We're looking for a few great Rotarians. Do you fit the bill? Do you know someone else? We need some applicants to travel to Austria-East, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia next April. Yes that's right, we need to find someone willing to travel through Europe and lead a group of young professionals. This is an incredible opportunity for anyone. Please contact Greg Custer, 2006-2007 GSE Chair. He can be reached at 626-441-5111.
There is a team leader application at the following District 5300 website.

Good Friday Breakfast: The San Gabriel Valley YMCA’s annual Good Friday Breakfast at South Hills Country Club on April 14th, 2006 was a great success. The speaker, David Frost, a former Angel’s pitcher, was a riveting story teller. It was fun to hear his stories of his days in major league baseball. And also his way of re-finding Christ after years of ignoring his basic beliefs. I hope we get invited again next year.
Night out on the Town: The West Covina Lions are hosting their annual Night out on the Town on June 1st at the Lakes Plaza by Edwards Cinemas. For $20 you get to sample great food from many local restaurants and to finish off the evening – you get tickets to the theatre.
Here’s your chance at winning $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) CASH $$$: The East Valley Community Health Center will have a raffle on their Gala night, June 2, 2006. Winner need not be present to win. Tickets are $10.00 each. Please see Carolina Chacon for tickets.
Program: The speaker was Officer Ken Plunkett with the West Covina Police Dept’s special Graffiti Task Force. He gave an informative presentation about the graffiti problem in West Covina. I had no idea that the police dept gets over 900 calls a month for graffiti in West Covina alone. One of our own, Jessika Martinez, has had some personal experience with etching at her store location, and the problem is much more widespread than I think most of us realized. Officer Plunkett also passed along several ‘art’ books confiscated from taggers. What a shame that talented youth choose to vandalize vs. doing something creative in the arts.

President’s Message: Not sure what most of our fellow Rotarians had for dinner Tuesday night that made them so “rowdy”. I had no control of the meeting thanks to Bruce Sims, Kris Kelso and our very own Sgt at Arms. Unbelievable! Maybe they were too excited to be in a different environment since we met at the Mariposa Inn Mexican Restaurant due to remodeling at our usual hang out. What ever the case may be, I hope next week they give me a break and behave like adults, I may be asking for too much. Our Golf tournament meeting was very successful, we need more member involvement. Remember this is OUR biggest fund raiser of the year, we need all of you to make it as successful as possible.
Meeting news: This was a busy meeting for the Sgt. of Arms. We had 3 birthday spins, Miriam Tennant, Jessika Martinez, and Luis Chacon for his daughter Matilda for a total of $60.00. But that was not it for the spins. Kris Kelso had to pay $15 for his ‘No Comment’ Spin (the comment would have to be bleeped out). Bruce Sims had to spin when his cell phone rang at the beginning of the meeting. He tried to get the fee waived by claiming it was simply a Reminder to start the meeting Ring – but no go. And then poor Gary Lawson had to spin the familiar Unfriendly spin. It seems the mole reported that Gary isn’t quite greeting members the way he should. However, later in the meeting, Gary got his $15 waived by majority consent when he volunteered to take over the program duties for June ( June was left without a program coordinator with the departure of Alex Rodriquez from the club) I just wonder who the mole is ?? Gary, unfriendly??

Books, books, Books: THE NYAHURURU, KENYA LIBRARY PROJECT By: Shannon Heintz, a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer serving in Nyahururu, Kenya.
Did you know that 80% of Kenyan’s are literate? Most people assume that Africans aren’t literate and minimally educated. In Kenya, primary education is free and most children attend school. English and Kiswahili are the national languages of Kenya and both are taught in school. Yet, with all of this education many Kenyan’s do not read books. Not for lack of wanting, it’s lack of money. Kenyans live on about 70 Kenyan Shillings (Ksh) per day ($1 USD = 73 Ksh). It is enough money to feed a family of four. Storybooks and novels cost about 300 Ksh to 1500 Ksh each, putting the written word out of reach for all but the wealthiest. People know how to read in English, many of my neighborhood children can, but simply cannot afford books.
I am writing to you because my community needs and wants a library. As a public health volunteer, I teach health and work with people living with HIV/AIDS, however, my side project is running a library from home. I currently have over 80 primary and secondary school students, and adults taking part in this book borrowing program. However, I cannot meet the demand. I am in need of the following books: beginning English books, illustrated storybooks, early readers, young adult and novels -- Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and Harriet the Spy. Also, Illustrated children’s books, Dictionaries, World Atlases, Children’s Illustrated Bibles and bible stories, Christian adult fiction, Christian young adult fiction, books by black American authors, and about black Americans. I could also use the following: Bro-Dart book covers for hardback books, construction paper, markers, crayons, educational posters, stickers, etc. My mailing address is: Shannon Heintz, Peace Corps Volunteer, P.O. Box 2149, Nyahururu, 20300, Kenya. You can mail all items via M-Bag or Media Mail at the US Post Office. The cost is $1.00/pound of books mailed.
I can be reached at: shannonheintz@yahoo.com. I am currently working with the mayor to ensure that there will be a permanent structure in town for a library before my tour is over in August 2007. Your donation will help the many children and adults in my community. I thank you in advance for your time and support.
If you are interested in donating books or supplies, please contact Lone Sorensen 626-893-7395, lhsorensen@verizon.net. If you supply the books, I will pay the shipping costs.
Program: Social time. Some tables discussed the golf tournament. Others solved the world crisis…
Raffle: Mansoor won and draw the 7 of spades. Getting closer.

4- way speech: This year’s contest took place at Industry Hills Rotary Club, Tuesday, March 14th. ‘Our man’ Anthony Orta, did quite well, finishing approx in the middle. Over all he was very impressed with his experiences at the competition and plans on becoming a Rotarian. He also hopes to start speech ‘competitions’ or speech training for his students after he becomes an elementary school teacher. Tom Murphy, who has now competed 4 years in a row, finished 2nd…… A great accomplishment. And after hearing his speeches for the last 2 years, I think it is safe to say that he will be using his presentation skills no matter what he chooses to do after school. As Miriam Tennant said --- He really, really should have won!
President Elect: Our incoming president, Vatche Kelartinian, attended the PETS training seminar this past weekend, and it was an overall great experience and very educational for Vatche. We all better get ready, as Vatche has spoken: We will be doing a lot more community service projects next year!
All Hands on Deck! All Hands on Deck! All Hands on Deck!

And other assorted able seamen/women THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM: YOUR CAPTAIN
The “U.S.S. District 5300” is charting its course for a magnificent 2006-2007 cruise, under the able direction of Admiral (er, District Governor) Christine Montan.
NAVIGATORS” training, required for leadership personnel facing the challenge of sailing the 2006-2007 seas with Admiral Christine, is scheduled for SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2006 at Etiwanda Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga (full details to follow). Now is the time for Presidents-Elect to enlist the participation of their club leaders, and new recruits, in setting the correct course for the new service year. Now is the time to mark those calendars. Now is the time to make the commitment. Senior Officers will lay out the course, provide you’all with the tools for success, and provide you with the key launch information for a successful cruise. (And, Lunch will be served!) sociable mixing of officers and enlisted personnel (all members of the crew) is planned for the evening of April 21.
District Assembly for the 2006-2007 Rotary Year: April 22, 2006, Etiwanda Gardens. All Officers and Committee Members should plan to attend. For those of you new on the board -- and we welcome and thank you --- the district assembly is a “training” session for the various roles on the board.
Rotaract Club: The first local Rotaract Club has been established by students in the greater San Gabriel Valley. The installation dinner will be held March 24th at Citrus College. The cost will be $20 for the dinner. We will provide more dinner and contact information in the next newsletter.
Rummage Sale: The San Gabriel Valley Neighborhood Coalition is hosting a Huge Parking Lot Treasure Hunt Rummage Sale on Saturday, March 25th, 7AM to 2PM. All proceeds from the sale will benefit Stepping Stones for Women, Arrow Community Center and Southern California Youth for Christ.

If you are interested please call 626-974-1162 or contact Kathy Benton for more information.
Good Friday Breakfast: The San Gabriel Valley YMCA will be hosting a Good Friday Breakfast at South Hills Country Club (April 14th, 2006). Special guest will be Favid Frost. Dave Harris will provide more information at our next meeting.
Public Safety Recognition Luncheon: The West Covina Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a Thank You Luncheon for the West Covina Police Department and Fire Department on March 16, 2006. Many service awards will be given out to the many special people who serve the West Covina Community. This will be a great opportunity to show your support of our local law enforcement and fire departments. Per Gary Lawson this event is sold out. Some 205 people will be attending this year, really showing the people in law enforcement, fire and city communications how much they are appreciated. In fact so many people are attending, that per Frank Wills, if President Bush showed up, he would not be able to get in. Good thing for Bush, Dave Harris said he would give up his seat. So Bush, if you are available ……………. At the Appreciation Luncheon the trophy for the winner of the Shoots & Ladders Event, The Police Dept., will be handed out. In addition, the money raised from the event will be donated to the Fire & Police Departments who will each receive $1,799.57. This amount is almost triple that of last year.
Program: Getting to Know each Other. Bruce Sims was the Master of Ceremonies (under the direction of the absent Diana Veloz). We split into groups of 5 and shared a funny, memorable or embarrassing event with the rest of the group. Afterwards, the 'winner' from each table shared their funny moments with the whole group. We heard some quite funny stories and shared some early morning laughs.
Hats Up: Don't ever ask Miriam and Forrest Tennant if they will escort you to your wedding in one of their Old Model Cars ---- they may show up a day or so late!
Raffle winner: Our new member Mary got the lucky ticket and walked away with $10.00. Still many, many more cards to go.
Happy Birthday to Dave Harris - who demanded we sing Happy Birthday to him. But I guess for a $20 spin we can all sing a little.

Did you know that 80% of Kenyan’s are literate? Most people assume that Africans aren’t literate and minimally educated. In Kenya, primary education is free and most children attend school. English and Kiswahili are the national languages of Kenya and both are taught in school. Yet, with all of this education many Kenyan’s do not read books. Not for lack of wanting, it’s lack of money. Kenyans live on about 70 Kenyan Shillings (Ksh) per day ($1 USD = 73 Ksh). It is enough money to feed a family of four. Storybooks and novels cost about 300 Ksh to 1500 Ksh each, putting the written word out of reach for all but the wealthiest. People know how to read in English, many of my neighborhood children can, but simply cannot afford books.
I am writing to you because my community needs and wants a library. As a public health volunteer, I teach health and work with people living with HIV/AIDS, however, my side project is running a library from home. I currently have over 80 primary and secondary school students, and adults taking part in this book borrowing program. However, I cannot meet the demand. I am in need of the following books: beginning English books, illustrated storybooks, early readers, young adult and novels -- Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and Harriet the Spy. Also, Illustrated children’s books, Dictionaries, World Atlases, Children’s Illustrated Bibles and bible stories, Christian adult fiction, Christian young adult fiction, books by black American authors, and about black Americans. I could also use the following: Bro-Dart book covers for hardback books, construction paper, markers, crayons, educational posters, stickers, etc. My mailing address is: Shannon Heintz, Peace Corps Volunteer, P.O. Box 2149, Nyahururu, 20300, Kenya. You can mail all items via M-Bag or Media Mail at the US Post Office. The cost is $1.00/pound of books mailed.
I can be reached at: shannonheintz@yahoo.com. I am currently working with the mayor to ensure that there will be a permanent structure in town for a library before my tour is over in August 2007. Your donation will help the many children and adults in my community. I thank you in advance for your time and support.
If you are interested in donating books or supplies, please contact Lone Sorensen 626-893-7395, lhsorensen@verizon.net. If you supply the books, I will pay the shipping costs.

4- way speech: This year’s contest took place at Industry Hills Rotary Club, Tuesday, March 14th. ‘Our man’ Anthony Orta, did quite well, finishing approx in the middle. Over all he was very impressed with his experiences at the competition and plans on becoming a Rotarian. He also hopes to start speech ‘competitions’ or speech training for his students after he becomes an elementary school teacher. Tom Murphy, who has now competed 4 years in a row, finished 2nd…… A great accomplishment. And after hearing his speeches for the last 2 years, I think it is safe to say that he will be using his presentation skills no matter what he chooses to do after school. As Miriam Tennant said --- He really, really should have won!
President Elect: Our incoming president, Vatche Kelartinian, attended the PETS training seminar this past weekend, and it was an overall great experience and very educational for Vatche. We all better get ready, as Vatche has spoken: We will be doing a lot more community service projects next year!
All Hands on Deck! All Hands on Deck! All Hands on Deck!
TO: DISTRICT 5300 CLUB PRESIDENTS & DISTRICT 5300 PRESIDENTS-ELECT
And other assorted able seamen/women THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM: YOUR CAPTAIN
The “U.S.S. District 5300” is charting its course for a magnificent 2006-2007 cruise, under the able direction of Admiral (er, District Governor) Christine Montan.
NAVIGATORS” training, required for leadership personnel facing the challenge of sailing the 2006-2007 seas with Admiral Christine, is scheduled for SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2006 at Etiwanda Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga (full details to follow). Now is the time for Presidents-Elect to enlist the participation of their club leaders, and new recruits, in setting the correct course for the new service year. Now is the time to mark those calendars. Now is the time to make the commitment. Senior Officers will lay out the course, provide you’all with the tools for success, and provide you with the key launch information for a successful cruise. (And, Lunch will be served!) sociable mixing of officers and enlisted personnel (all members of the crew) is planned for the evening of April 21.
District Assembly for the 2006-2007 Rotary Year: April 22, 2006, Etiwanda Gardens. All Officers and Committee Members should plan to attend. For those of you new on the board -- and we welcome and thank you --- the district assembly is a “training” session for the various roles on the board.
Rotaract Club: The first local Rotaract Club has been established by students in the greater San Gabriel Valley. The installation dinner will be held March 24th at Citrus College. The cost will be $20 for the dinner. We will provide more dinner and contact information in the next newsletter.
Rummage Sale: The San Gabriel Valley Neighborhood Coalition is hosting a Huge Parking Lot Treasure Hunt Rummage Sale on Saturday, March 25th, 7AM to 2PM. All proceeds from the sale will benefit Stepping Stones for Women, Arrow Community Center and Southern California Youth for Christ. If you need to do some spring cleaning ( and don’t we all ), they will be happy to accept your usable discards. They also need volunteers to help before and during the sale. If you are interested please call 626-974-1162 or contact Kathy Benton for more information.
Good Friday Breakfast: The San Gabriel Valley YMCA will be hosting a Good Friday Breakfast at South Hills Country Club (April 14th, 2006). Special guest will be Favid Frost. Dave Harris will provide more information at our next meeting.
Public Safety Recognition Luncheon: The West Covina Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a Thank You Luncheon for the West Covina Police Department and Fire Department on March 16, 2006. Many service awards will be given out to the many special people who serve the West Covina Community. This will be a great opportunity to show your support of our local law enforcement and fire departments. Per Gary Lawson this event is sold out. Some 205 people will be attending this year, really showing the people in law enforcement, fire and city communications how much they are appreciated. In fact so many people are attending, that per Frank Wills, if President Bush showed up, he would not be able to get in. Good thing for Bush, Dave Harris said he would give up his seat. So Bush, if you are available ……………. At the Appreciation Luncheon the trophy for the winner of the Shoots & Ladders Event, The Police Dept., will be handed out. In addition, the money raised from the event will be donated to the Fire & Police Departments who will each receive $1,799.57. This amount is almost triple that of last year.
Program: Getting to Know each Other. Bruce Sims was the Master of Ceremonies (under the direction of the absent Diana Veloz). We split into groups of 5 and shared a funny, memorable or embarrassing event with the rest of the group. Afterwards, the 'winner' from each table shared their funny moments with the whole group. We heard some quite funny stories and shared some early morning laughs.
Hats Up: Don't ever ask Miriam and Forrest Tennant if they will escort you to your wedding in one of their Old Model Cars ---- they may show up a day or so late!
Raffle winner: Our new member Mary got the lucky ticket and walked away with $10.00. Still many, many more cards to go.
