In Case You Missed Us.... June 7, 2019
By: Rick Mendoza
 
Today, we enjoyed a field trip meeting to the San Pedro – Peninsula YMCA in San Pedro, CA. The cheerful staff met and escorted Rotarians to the 2nd-floor gymnasium which was very large, open and bright – full of mirrors. We were treated to a catered lunch in the gym and after the guest speaker, a member of the YMCA staff escorted the Rotarians on a tour of the facility which was well designed, well maintained and staffed. Included are a basketball court, Olympic size pool, jogging trail, handball courts, work out rooms, and meeting rooms. Many programs are offered to the community of all ages. Overall a wonderful facility for the entire Peninsula community since the 1960s.
Our guest speaker was, Nicolas Gardner, a senior at Vanderbilt University studying Political Science and Law, and History & Society. He spoke on the benefits of his experience and time with the Youth & Government and the YMCA program for 6 years and ultimately serving as the 68th Youth Governor. Nicolas recognized the San Pedro – Peninsula YMCA (SPPY) and the Youth & Government program as the motivating factor for his personal growth and leadership abilities, changing his life forever.  Nicolas expressed his feeling that the philosophy instills the delegates the desire to find themselves through service and care for others and to be living examples of good values. (Sounds like Rotary!). Nicolas has carried this philosophy into his years at Vanderbilt and beyond making him confident and successful.
