Please join us at 6:00 pm 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.
Join us for a hands-on service project where we'll be making decorative holiday signs that we'll be taking with us to the Naval Medical Center in November.
When it comes to making the holidays merry and bright, Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station’s annual “Deck the Halls” program is one of their signature events.
Every year, hundreds of volunteers descend on Naval Medical Center San Diego after Thanksgiving and transform it into a winter wonderland. Decorations, tinsel, pine cones, and Christmas trees fill the halls, giving a warm, festive glow to the hospital. This year, not only will our club help to create decorations but we'll also be joining Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station to decorate!
An injured warrior’s environment has a strong impact on morale. Our elves get in the spirit and provide a beautiful, memorable space full of Christmas cheer!
Interested in signing up to join us to decorate? Reach out to our Service Chair, Mari Pullen for more details!
SD Coastal Rotary is family-friendly and kids are always welcome. Guests can let us know if they'll be attending throughRSVP on Facebook.
Questions or want to add something to the agenda? Reach out to Jessica Long, Club President.
SD Coastal Rotary is sponsoring a zoo day! On October 28th, we will be going to the zoo with our friends/family, the Alshahhoud family and our Rotary Scholar, Jean Paul. We will need help transporting everyone from home to the zoo and back. Once there, we will tour the zoo in smaller groups since touring with one large group would be too difficult. We can plan lunch together at 1pm at a sit down restaurant. Jenny has created a tentative plan:
Jenny will escort the mom (Raouaa), the baby (Jenna - 7 months), and Malak (3 yrs). If there is someone else who loves babies who wants to help, Jenny would appreciate this.
There are 4 girls who are inseparable (Fatima, Zamzam, Heba and Rukaia - ages 7-12). They would love being shown around by 2-3 of our female Rotarians. Their English is excellent.
There is also Louay (14 yrs). He prefers to hang out with guys (he needs some role models!) and not with his little sisters. The dad (Nimr) might have to work that day, but he would enjoy partnering with Louay if he gets the time off.
Then we have Jean-Paul - our Rotary scholar from Rwanda getting his masters at USD. He has never been to a zoo before despite being from Africa and has never seen many wild animals! He is really looking forward to the visit.
This is an invitation to all our members and their friends and family. Please think about going and think about who you would most like to escort. Let Jenny know and details will be sorted.
We are incredibly excited to introduce our November service project a bit early, since you'll need to register no later than Wednesday, October 31st!
Help Bring Holiday Cheer to Active Duty Military, Their Families & Veterans as We Decorate the Naval Medical Center for the Holidays
Our club has partnered with Warrior Foundation Freedom Stations for many years and this year we have the opportunity to join them in their signature volunteer event.
On Saturday, November 24th, we'll be helping to decorate the San Diego Naval Medical Center and transform it to a winter wonderland. Decorates, tinsel, pine cones, and Christmas trees will fill the halls, giving a way, festive glow to the hospital. Our club will even have our very own Christmas tree to decorate!
The timing may not be ideal for those who are going out of town, but if you'll be here in San Diego for Thanksgiving, I'm already signed up and am going and would love to have you join me!
If you're interested and able to come, email Mari so that she can have a headcount from our club.
Won't be in town on Thanksgiving? That's okay too and you can still help out at our October hands-on service meeting, where we'll be decorating holiday signs to bring with us and put up in the Naval hospital.
Open to all friends and family and hope you can all make it! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Sarah Bradford and her fiance, Josh, have generously proposed to host a dinner/BBQ/potluck in November or December. They have also volunteered to invite/provide transport to Rotary Scholar Jean-Paul to join this event as well. Some suggested dates are below; please come to the next meeting prepared to take a poll on your preferred date.
Our club will be conducting an interview of Jack Banker for his application to become a member of our club. The interview will take place before our regular club meeting on October 24th. If anyone is interested they can let Derek know and he will add them to the invite. The interview will be from 5:45-6:15pm in the dining room at Leaucadia Pizzeria.
Current Club Board - please be advised there will be a board meeting immediately following our regular meeting October 24. Come ready to give your suggestions on how to tackle upcoming events and our goals.
We're so happy that you're interested in our club and want you to have all the latest details of our upcoming events!
