There was no meeting on Thursday, June 23, due to the 10 Year Youth act Celebration Event on Friday, June 24, 2016.
The event was held in the large meeting room of Bateman Hall. There were more than 300 people at this event. Youth act members from the ten years of the existence of this youth group and many parents were in attendance. In addition Lynwood Rotary members attended, along with community representatives, supporting Youth act and supporting the Lynwood Rotary Club. Sign- in for this celebration event started at 5:00 pm, and dinner started at 6:00 pm.
Old and new officers for both Youth act and for the Lynwood Rotary Club were recognized, as well as a variety of certificates for accomplishments were presented to both Youth act and Rotary members. From 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm, a very talented DJ provided a variety of EDM music, and many adults and youth danced.
A special thank you is due to the adult leaders of Youth act at Roosevelt ES, Tila and Fernando Millan. The amazing accomplishments during this ten year period of the Youth act group(s) in Lynwood are due to the leadership skills of Mr. and Mrs. Millan. They have been extremely effective in obtaining the support and participation of Lynwood youth and their parents and family members during these ten years!
The next day, Sat, June 25, was the annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life event in Lynwood Park. This event this year was for a period of 12 hours from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm. Lynwood Rotary members, and Youth act members and family participated in this event.
