Your Weekly Update

Friday, January 17th, 2025
Dear Rotarians,
 
We are back at the library this Friday. Please join us for a lovely lunch from Ranch Market, a visit from Harbor Interfaith Services, and an induction! It was amazing to see so many of you at Red Onion last week, so let's keep it going!!
 
We also have a District Breakfast coming up and the DG emailed me to see if we would be there. No pressure! Please let me know if you would be able to make it and I will make another announcement this Friday at the meeting. I will be going and  this is a wonderful opportunity for new members to see what a district breakfast looks like.
 
I also attached our ad for Educator of the Year in case you still need to get your ticket. The ticket price for Rotarians is $70. Checks are made out to:

2nd District Breakfast

On Saturday, January 25th at 9:30am we will be hosting our next District Breakfast. We will be heading to the beautiful and historic Garland Hotel, owned by the Beverly Garland family. Since this hotel is a great example of classic Hollywood, we will be treated to some special surprises this morning. Perhaps a "celebrity" or two may show up. 
 
This event is a great way to come together as a District, listen and learn from our guest speaker Zack Swire, enjoy a hot and delicious breakfast with one another. Bio: Zack Swire is the Founder and Visionary of Top Teams, a coaching practice dedicated to equipping leaders and teams with the tools to build scalable, impactful organizations. With decades of entrepreneurial experience and expertise in Business Operating Systems (BOS), Zack has helped countless leaders and teams achieve transformational change.
