Lynwood Rotary meeting Update 06.22.2017

At the June 22, meeting, members and guests at the overflow evening meeting celebrated the installation of new officers for the Lynwood Rotary Club and for the Youth act Club.

In addition to the camaraderie made possible by the large turnout from both the Lynwood Rotary Club and from the Youth act Group and their parents there were a number of memorable presentations.

Jerry Brown, Chief of Staff for Rotary District 5280, (and member of the South Gate Rotary Club), performed the installation of officers for the Lynwood Rotary Club and for the Youth act Club.  Jerry Brown also talked about recent Humanitarian trips of Rotary International.  Jerry mentioned his personal experiences in Mexico and how much the people there appreciated the help provided by Rotary members spending time with people living in poverty in several villages 

Outgoing President Ramon Rodriguez talked about his long association with the Lynwood Club, to include his memories of Club members regularly working with an orphanage near Tijuana.  Incoming President Joe Wang talked about his plans to promote the varied activities and programs of the Club, and outgoing President Ramon pledged his continuing involvement in all the Club's activities.

New Rotary members Fernando and Tila Millan and Juana Carrera were recognized and welcomed.

Incoming President Elect Barbara Battle was also recognized and Ms. Battle stated her intentions as to support for the Club in the coming two years.

Awards / Certificates of Appreciation were given out to Club members for work performed and accomplishments during the 2016- 2017 year.  Similarly, recognition and awards were presented to Youth act members, as well as talk about some of the coming events planned for the Youth act Club.  

At the end of the meeting, an Auction was held and led by Club member Rajen Dhaliwal.  This was a lot of fun, with members competing against each other with higher bids, thus resulting in significant income for the club!

(There was brief coordination and reminders for Club members and guests, as well as Youth act members and their parents about the work required to staff the fireworks stand from July First through July Fourth.)
