At the May 21 Video Phone Meeting , Lynwood Rotary Club President, Gudiel Crosthwaite, took the lead in sharing info with other meeting attendees.
President Crosthwaite, thanked everyone for sharing photos of Rotary activities, to use in a District Rotary grant application for more funds for the community food bank.
Martina Rodriguez and Lalo talked about the possibility of reducing dues temporarily, as a way of encouraging increased membership, and considering the current savings from not serving food each week at face to face meetings. Gudiel stated that is something to consider.
Tila Millan shared that contributions for the food bank are now up to almost $5,000.
Gudiel shared info about five LUSD scholarships
More sharing about the community food bank, Gudiel and other attendees noted the need for volunteer drivers to deliver food.
Lulu shared that she would participate as a volunteer driver for the food bank.
There was discussion about planning and coordination for the incoming Club President- Elect. More discussions to come in the next several meetings!
NOTE: Apparently, the City of Lynwood has re-opened as of Tue, May 26, (after Memorial Day holiday). However, also apparently, only on a restricted basis, in that advance request is necessary to visit any office or person on the staff.
