At the September 7, meeting, Lynwood Rotary members and guests discussed a number of issues and ideas.
Among the issues agreed upon are that for the Governor’s visit at the October 12 meeting, the club will present a donation of $350.00. It was also agreed that at the September 21 meeting, Rotary District 5280, Chief of Staff, to the Governor, will induct three candidates into the Lynwood Club: Gudiel R. Crosthwaite, New Superintendent for the Lynwood Unified School District, and also Alejandra Avalos and Angel Farias.
Meeting as the Club Board, there was lengthy discussion, with Larry Esparza and Martina Rodriguez taking the lead, and a decision reached about changing the bank to be used for the club funds. It will be close to the Lynwood City Hall.
Club guests, Maria Garcia, Beatrice Torres and Maria Viera were welcomed. Maria Garcia, representing Roosevelt ES Youth act and the adult leaders, Tila and Fernando Millan talked about two fund raising projects.
For Hurricane Harvey, at Roosevelt ES, teachers will have a box for donations in their classroom and Youth act officers will collect at the end of the week.
Also there will be a Youth act Taco and Loteria at the home of Tila and Fernando Millan on Sat, Sep 9, starting at 4pm, with the proceeds from the meal tickets to be used for transportation costs for a bus for a coming Youth act event.
In response to a question from Daniel, Maria Garcia also talked about the Youth act participation in the Rotary District Annual picnic at Redondo Beach Lagoon, and she talked about how the Youth act card boat did in the boat competition.
Daniel encouraged Rotary members to come to the Lynwood Union Gallery event scheduled later on Thursday from 5pm to 8pm with the artist Michael Lara, noting that there will also be music. Maria Viera was one of the attendees who said she would join Daniel at this art oriented event.
