ROTARY IS HOSTING A GIFT WRAP AND BOW DRIVE IN SUPPORT WESTERN SERVICE WORKERS ASSOCIATION

San Diego Organizations and businesses are collecting toys and gifts for those in need.  One of the biggest items on their "wish list" is gift wrap, bows, ribbon and tape to wrap the gifts, especially the toys. An unwrapped toy is good but a wrapped toy is even better and makes it feel more like Christmas. This year the Southeast Club is donating gift wrap materials to Western Service Workers Association, an all-volunteer run local organization dedicated to organizing and supporting low-income workers. They support low-wage workers by providing them with cooperative assistance and networking. They also provide emergency food, clothing, non-emergency dental care, preventative medical care, child care assistance, job referral and legal advice for local workers.

ROTARY AMBASSADOR SCHOLARS

ATTEND ANNUAL THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON

Both Ambassadorial Scholars are here for 1 year to study at the Joan B. Kroc School, Peace & Justice Studies.  They are co-sponsored by Rotary Clubs in their country and Clubs here in San Diego, Distinct 5340. They are here to study and learn about different ways to handle conflict and resolve issues.

Both issues are especially critical in their countries where violence is usually the first course of action vs. alternate methods. They wore their native clothing and made a presentation about their countries, customs and challenges. The luncheon was well attended and guests enjoyed a southern style Thanksgiving meal.
