District Leadership Forum
The Interactors from Jordan High joined Rotarians at the second district forum of this year at Fountain Valley, where we learned about the art of fundraising.
Interact Kick-Off at Straw Hat Pizza
As the youth activities chair at Signal Hill Rotary, Rey organized an event at Straw Hat Pizza to give the Rotarians an opportunity to meet the Interactors from Sato Academy and Jordan High School. It was also a chance for the Rotarians to thank the parents of the Interactors in supporting the students.
Rotary Cleans up California Coast
All along the long stretch of coastline in California, Rotarians joined Interactors and other volunteer organizations to clean up the beaches on a beautiful Saturday morning. Each equipped with a grabber, Rey and his son joined Les at Junipero Beach to pick up trash on the sand while pondering about the sources of the Styrofoam and plastic pieces.
Inaugural Meeting of Jordan Interact
Inspired by his experience at RYLA, Ricardo set in motion to establish the first Interact club at Jordan High School. Rey helped to coordinate with the district to find the resources possible to set up the club, and Frank was present to celebrate the first meeting.
The first service project of the club is to make and distribute crochet animals this winter to people in need around the world. Signal Hill Rotary is sponsoring the cost of the crochet materials and the prize for the raffle.
Governor Chris Skorina Visits
Governor Chris shared his vision for this Rotary year with our club, generously lending resources and support for our club projects. Heidi also updated the status of the Rotary gala as the assistant to the governor.
Rotary exchange student Sofus from Greenland and Ricardo as the founding member of the Interact Club at Jordan High also joined us.
Rotary Youth Exchange
The Rotary Youth Exchange is one of the best opportunities for students to get involved and inspired by the global network of Rotarians.
The son of one of our club members, Reed, is spending a year in Denmark as a part of the youth exchange program. In turn, Frank’s family is hosting Sofus, a student from Greenland, during his one-year stay in the United States.
Sofus from Greenland
Sofus is a Rotary international exchange student from Greenland who is being hosted for a year by our very own Frank Dunnick and his family. We met at our monthly club social at Ten Mile Brewing Company and we gained insight about the culture and language of Greenland and a new perspective on American culture.
School Supplies with Al Austin
Organized by Council Member Al Austin in Long Beach, Signal Hill Rotary participated in the school supplies giveaway at the Veteran Memorial Stadium.
It was a great event celebrated with fellowship, community outreach, and good music. Interact member Ricardo from Jordan High also volunteered with Rotarians.
Signal Hill Police National Night Out
The Signal Hill Police Foundation reached out to the community at the annual National Night Out, where the foundation celebrated the service provided by the police department with music, raffle prizes, and games.
Kedra, Frank, Kiran, Rey, Jose, and Les hosted the Rotary booth with games and prizes to bring awareness of the good things Rotary Club is doing throughout the community and internationally.
Les Visits Petaluma Valley Rotary
While on a road trip to Northern California, Les visited the Rotary Club of Petaluma Valley, which meets every Wednesday at noon at Cafe Bellini.
Jerrie was the speaker, who not only welcomed Les to the meeting, but led club members on a meditative exercise in art.
