Thank you all so much for your contributions to make this coat drive a success!You once again stepped up and after counting these last donations that just came in today (Monday), we have officially collected enough coats for every child at Oasis Family Resource Center.
If you have some at home that you haven't been able to get to me yet, please still bring them in as Eric will keep them for any new children who enter their program this year.
As I often get the chance to say, you Rotarians really rock! Thank you for your support and I am so happy to be a part of this club. :)

Saturday evening Rotarians and friends gathered at the Maturango Room of the SpringHill Suites to raise money for local Robotic STEM programs and to celebrate Totally Tables!
It is no coincidence that Rotary’s theme for September coincides with the traditional time for Back-to-School. Rotary’s focus for this month is on “strengthening communities’ ability to support education and literacy for all ages, including reducing gender disparity in education and increasing adult literacy.”
Members of the Rotary Club of China Lake, friends, and family got together last Thursday evening for fun, food, fellowship, and maybe even an adult beverage or two.
Wow! Where did this year go?? As I reflect on this past year as President of the Rotary Club of China Lake, the overwhelming feeling I have is gratitude.
Last Monday night was the first annual Bowling for Boxes. Bowling teams of Rotarians and friends turned out to support a wonderful cause: raising money for ShelterBox, a Charity Navigator Four-Star charitable foundation whose mission is to “build awareness of global displacement and provide families with lifesaving shelter and essential tools, and supplies that will enable them to rebuild their homes and transform their lives after disaster.”
