SD Coastal Rotary Newsletter | Week of November 28 (Nov 23, 2018)

This week with SD Coastal...

Please join us at 6:00pm this Wednesday at Leucadia Pizza for our regular club meeting. There will be food, drinks, and you'll hear about upcoming events and service opportunities.

This month our club will be supporting our four San Diego Little Free Libraries. Thanks to a generous donation, we have a lot of books to help us replenish and restock our Little Free Libraries. Join us as we'll be adding stickers to the books and even splitting up into small groups to deliver some of the books to our libraries just across the street from where our club meets at Leucadia Pizzeria.

SD Coastal Rotary is family-friendly and kids are always welcome. Guests can let us know if they'll be attending through RSVP on Facebook.

Questions or want to add something to the agenda? Reach out to Jessica Long, Club President.

Donate Blood

One of our fellow Rotarians in the Thousand Oaks area (which, as you know, suffered from a mass shooting recently) has requested we donate blood. Here is an account of her story.

"I woke up this morning to the horrific news of the mass shooting at the Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks. As far as I know, there were no Rotarians or Rotaractors killed or injured. One of our Rotarian's daughter was at the bar but uninjured. We have two Rotaract Clubs in that area. The site is less than a block from where our Thursday club meets and the roads are blocked so they can't meet today.

Needless to say, the Thousand Oaks area as well as District 5240 are hurting today. Several of you have reached out to ask what you and your Districts can do and I really appreciate your support and concern.

If you would, please ask that Rotarians donate blood today at their local blood banks in the memory of those who lost their lives and honor those patrons and first responders who had witness that terrible scene. One of the deputies who was first to arrive was gunned down and died. Rotarians have a need to help, that's who we are. So if you could, forward my message on to your membership."

Serving Seniors Volunteer Event

December 1st 7:30 am-9:30 am in downtown we are volunteering with Serving Seniors.

Serving Seniors' mission is to help seniors in poverty live healthy and fulfilling lives. As part of this work, Serving Seniors serves nearly 600,000 meals each year across 9 congregate dining sites and delivery to 500+ homebound seniors. Our club will assist with breakfast service which includes assisting seniors in wheelchairs and walkers, helping with coffee service, and assisting with clean up.

Metered parking or a paid lot is available near the center. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

We'll want to have a rough count of volunteers by November 14, but last-minute additions are ok.

Rotary International President coming to San Diego!

La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club will be hosting Rotary International President Barry Rassin at their January 11, 2019 meeting at 7am. This is an extreme honor and privilege, and they are extending an invitation to our club to join us that morning.

The goals is to get as many Rotarians and guests there as possible, so spread the word!

The meeting will be held at the Braille Institute (UTC), so they can accommodate everyone. The cost for breakfast is $25 per person.

PB Rotaract Mentor Program

The Pacific Beach Rotaract has requested our assistance in matching some of their members with some volunteers in our club to serve as their mentors. The time commitment is up to you and the mentee, but it would be great if you'd be willing to meet with one of individuals listed below approximately once a month. Their names and their experience/goals are included below:

Derren Lechuga-Human Resources or Insurance, Rotary
Anthony De Guzman-government (all levels), non-profit, political science (Match with Michael Mena)
Tanya Pulley-non-profit (starting one)
Jessie Case-non-profit (management)
Maddison Larson-develop career goals (has Mechanical engineering/US Navy background)
Paloma Samano-Mental Health/Community Outreach (Match with Michael Mena)

For their full profile, please ask Michael or Satoko. If you have any of the experience they are looking for, it would be great if you could meet with them! Its also perfectly ok if they are matched with more than one mentor. Let Michael or Satoko know and they will reach out to PB Rotaract. This is a great opportunity to have a direct impact on someone else's career and personal goals!
