Mexico Loft Home Build Trip - ROOMMATE NEEDED

Registration for our upcoming Mexico loft home build trip has now closed, and we have 13 excited Rotarians ready to tackle the challenge of building a home in one day. In addition to the details in the link below, we need to now figure out roommates. Please text or email Sarah D. with your preferred roommate preference (everyone will be rooming as rooms were in short supply).

Volunteer At Living Coast Discover Center

Join us on Saturday, January 27th from 9am - 11am while we help plant and paint some new 'pollinator' gardens at the Living Coast Discover Center in Chula Vista. Many of you will recall when the Living Coast came to speak to our club about the work they do for local marine life and ecosystems, and that they're one of the rare undiscovered jewels of San Diego (who knew there was such an aquarium in Chula Vista?).

We will be painting and planting things to help them create their pollinator garden in an effort to sustain certain local plants and bees. Please wear gardening/painting clothes and close-toed shoes. After our volunteer event we will have the option to stick around and tour the facility as their free guest.

When: Saturday, January 27th from 9am - 11am

Where: Living Coast Discovery Center

1000 Gunpowder Point Dr.

Chula Vista, CA 91910

We need at least 10 volunteers all the way up to 30, so this would be a great event to bring a prospective Rotarian to.

For questions please see Tom Bierman at 703-975-0257.

5k Walk/Run Fundraiser RESULTS

Our 5k Fundraiser this past Saturday was a great first-time event with lots of good exposure for our club and nearly $500 raised! Nobody got hurt, almost half of all participants were non-club members, there were LOTS of cute babies, AND we were all done by 10:30. Below are some pictures from the event. Thanks again to Sarah/Thrivent for the $250 sponsorship!

Service Project - Marine Street Beach Cleanup

This Saturday is our Marine Street Beach cleanup in La Jolla. Come join us and help clean the beach, followed by brunch at Herringbone in La Jolla. Street parking is available around the beach area (though sometimes parking can be difficult, so plan on spending a good 5 minutes looking). We'll meetup at the bottom of the staircase on Marine Street. The cleanup takes between 30 minutes to 45 minutes. People that aren't members of the club are welcome to join the beach cleaning fun!

Questions? Or for more information, email San Diego Coastal Rotary Club's service chair, Tom at service@sdcoastalrotary.org

Rotary Fun Fact

Annual Rotary Calendar

In the annual Rotary calendar many months are designated to emphasize major programs of Rotary International. October is Vocational Service Month. During this period, clubs highlight the importance of the business and professional life of each Rotarian. Special activities promote the vocational avenue of service.
