As to group discussions, the focus was on potential new members. Specifically, Elsa P. Chagolla. She is associated with Lynwood Partners, Educational Foundation, which has a relationship with LUSD. It was stated that the she had explained to her the objectives to Rotary, and she has accepted these commitments. Now a notice needs to be sent to each member for their consent to agree to accepting Elsa as a member of the club. There was also mention of Lulo Trujillo, as a potential new member, and another name was also mentioned as to new/ potential new members.
It was noted that previous District 5280 Governor, Joe Vasquez, will attend (but not make a presentation), at the Feb 20 noon meeting. It is planned that in the presence of Joe Vasquez Elsa will be inducted as a new member to the Lynwood Rotary Club.
Daniel asked if anyone knows of Lynwood businesses from which their owners or managers could be speakers at one of our weekly meetings. Ramon Rodriguez said he knows of someone who he will contact about being a speaker, who owns a local business. (Daniel mentioned another possibility is Lynwood Rotary member, Alejandra Avalos, who is involved in starting a new business.)
Note: A repeat of last meeting’s info from Bruno Naull’s presentation:
US Census. Briefly, Bruno covered information on a handout. Census Day is Apr 1. “Once every 10 years, the census counts EVERYONE living in the U.S. – regardless of age, race/ethnicity or citizenship status.” It is important because resources provided by government agencies are based on population, and because representation is based on population. “You can complete the census online, by mail, or by phone.”
