We are officially half way through our year. I am looking forward to meeting with each one of the Club Presidents at Presidents Advance January 27-29, 2012. We will be in the wonderful Lake Arrowhead Resort in Lake Arrowhead, CA. The events and workshops will prepare you for success as you close out your year as President. If you have not yet registered, please register no later than January 6, 2012 so we can get an accurate head count. For more information, view the Presidents' Advance Flyer. |

Making Wishes Come True
Travis, an autistic 22 year old with a mother battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer wanted only one thing for Christmas...a ventriloquist doll. Rotarians from Glendora, Rancho del Chino and the newly-chartered Greater Chino Hills Rotary club raised over $900 to make this Christmas wish come true. Within the week, Rotarians from Vegas to Pasadena jumped in to help. On Christmas eve, DGN Miles and Teresa Petroff, with the help from XAG Gordie Norman playing Santa Claus, and Pres-elect Robert Basile surprised Travis with a certificate for a ventriloquist doll. As DG Doug might say, these Rotarians "got er done"! |
