Weeding Hearts

Weeding hearts are more environmentally friendly than bleeding hearts.

Tom possesses one of the most generous hearts I know. That’s why his Rotary friends converged at his yard for some weeding and trimming while he recovers from a recent surgery. Tom and his dog, Desi, entertained us while we beautified his garden. Scott even made an arthropod friend by the time we finished.

Jose’s Craft Talk

We learned more about Joe’s personal and professional life this morning during his craft talk. It’s always wonderful to make a new friend and get to know him. We heard that his dog, Hunter, literally walked into his life. We celebrated his wife’s recovery from cancer. We are so fortunate to have a great guy like Jose among us.

Signal Hill Police Appreciation

Rotarians showed their gratitude for men and women who put their lives on the line to serve and protect us everyday. We brought gourmet donuts and a “pet rock” that said “Thank you” for the officers.

Over the Edge

Scott Young, son of the Rotarian Les Young, raised money for the Paralyzed Veterans of America by going Over the Edge at the Hilton in Long Beach. Dick Fulton coordinated the event, which raised more than $40,000 for these true American heroes. Rotarians (Randy, Nancy, Frank, Tom, Albert, Phyllis, Jose, and Arian) contributed to team Scott to achieve his fundraising goal and cheered him on as he rappelled down 141 feet with veterans, many of whom are in wheelchairs.

Delivering School Supplies to Alvarado Elementary

Welcome Arian Nava

Arian comes from a family with a steep Rotary tradition. Her grandfather introduced her to a life of service, and she’s hooked from the start. She’s excited to become a Rotarian herself and give back to the community. She has already participated in assembling school supplies for Alvarado Elementary School last week, but she is looking forward to getting involved in many more service projects.

Chris Romero from the Outreach Program introduced us to a host of potential community projects. We are planning to liaison with other service clubs to distribute food to communities in need, locally and possibly internationally.

School Supplies Assembly

Tom Benson graciously hosted us again to assemble 400 packs of school supplies for the students of Alvarado Elementary School. The school supplies project was started by Bob and Nancy Long, and we carry on the tradition in helping the students prepare for the new academic year.

Rotarians invited their friends to pitch in, and we were able to complete the assembly by early afternoon. We enjoyed a potluck in the backyard and basked in good fellowship afterward.
