China's Global Impact
Our guest speaker on Friday, May 3rd was Wen Chen with a presentation on China's Global Impact. She was here to talk about the Chinese culture, history and society and the impact the Communist Chinese Party has on those elements. Wen was born in China and came to the United States in 1994. She received her PhD in Biology at the California Institute of Technology in 2000. Since 2000, Wen has been working at Caltech as a biologist and information scientist.
2024 District Conference
This past weekend was the 2024 Rotary District 5050 Conference. The theme was We Are Family and the three speakers on Saturday used this theme to encourage attendees to think of Rotary as a family. Past District Governor Kelly Atkinson (5420), District 5040 Governor Shirley-Pat Gale, and grief counselor Dr. Kate Eastman, provided inspiration insights into the importance of healthy families.

The Conference concluded with Amnol Magic, an illusionist from the Vancouver, BC area, who provided a spell-binding program. It was a great day for fellowship and stimulation. On Friday evening about two dozen Rotarians, spouses and children had a great time bowling. On Sunday about 30 people gathered at Camp Korey to help the Camp get ready for summer. There were a variety of projects to be done. Read next month's Peace Arch Journal for complete details.
