Operation School Bell for Signal Hill Elementary
Collaborating with the Assistance League of Long Beach, Signal Hill Rotary provided the man and woman power to assemble backpacks full of school uniforms and supplies for the students at Signal Hill Elementary School. Assistance League generously donated the school supplies and uniforms.
President-elect Jose coordinated with Wendy from Assistance League to make this project possible. Of course, the most important thing is that these students now have the necessary tools to succeed in school.
Su Casa and Meals on Wheels
Alberto and Debbie from Su Casa, a local domestic violence shelter established in the 1970’s, told us about their mission and what they are doing to support women and children during the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Krista from the Orange County Meals on Wheels also shared their projects and how they’re helping seniors live independent lives.
Most importantly, we welcomed Raul, the newest member of our Rotary family. There is so much comraderies and opportunities to do good for our neighbors.
