weekly newsletter for 
the Rotary Club of Los Angeles (LA5)
 
established in 1909 and aging like fine wine

A new fiscal year, a new fiscal bill ... time to pay your dues!

Have you given your 'dollar a day' to Community Grants? 
Each year, LA5 members are asked to contribute a dollar a day - or $365 - to the Community Grants fund of our LA5 Foundation. 
These funds go directly to support local community-based projects. 
This year, YOU decide where our local gifts are distributed!
 
How it works:
  • Use the button below to make your $365 contribution (payments can be made one-time, quarterly, or monthly)
  • Your name will be entered into a weekly drawing
  • If your name is drawn, the Foundation will ~2.5x your gift and give a $1,000 donation to an organization of YOUR choosing! 
Don't miss out on an opportunity to support your favorite Los-Angeles based charity!
THANK YOU

Looking for contenders at the District Picnic's cardboard boat race

The last time LA5 entered into the cardboard boat race was when PPs Ken Chong and Alan Bernstein ... well ... look for yourself ☝️👀
 
President Malinda is looking for some noble competitors to enter the District's cardboard boat race and not just defend - but redeem - the reputation of being winners that has for a century been enjoyed by LA5. 
 
For anyone willing to enter the competition: President Malinda will not only host your entry fee, but will offer up the hefty prize of a trophy, bragging rights, and a seat at the head table for the rest of the year...
 
Does that make up for the cost of materials to build the boat and your possible ego burst when you realize that cardboard boats don't float? Only one way to find out ...
