A Message from our President, Dr. Lou Ann Alexander, January 20, 2014

Fellow Rotarians,

This week we have our club assembly. We have lots of exciting things going on and will be talking about our events for the rest of this Rotary year, especially our Enterprise Leadership Conference and our 3^rd annual Silicon Valley BBQ Championships. The BBQ committee will also be meeting this week on Thursday at 10:45AM before our regular meeting.

Rotary International President Ron Burton has chosen Santa Clara as the site for The North America New Generations Symposium that will occur on March 29-30 at our very own Santa Clara Convention Center. The symposium presents a rare opportunity for North America Rotary Youth organizations to share with pride their achievements and commitment to change lives through ‘service above self’. At the symposium, experienced professionals and mentors will take teens and young adults to a new level in inspiring self-confidence and leadership. I have attached the flyer if you would like more information.
