At this week's meeting, President Gina shared the charities that the Board of Director's approved for this years benefactors following our Trivia Night Fundraiser. Chula Vista Sunrise Rotary is proud to disperse $15,000 to seven deserving local charities. This amount takes us to over $27,000 in donations, including our contribution to Polio Plus and student representatives at RYLA and Model UN.
Registration is now open for our food packaging event on May 4 at Allen School in Bonita. Costs have been covered by our Rotary Club so donations are not required! Please scan the QR code to register. We will be packaging 15,000 meals for The Outreach Project. We ask volunteers to register in advance and be there by 8 am. See you there!
At tonight's meeting we welcomed Abby Costello from the Hilltop High School Interact Club. Abby is President of the Y4SF Program and will also attend Rotary's Model UN on Saturday. Abby explained how she will represent the United Kingdom and speak about increasing biodiversity. Abby is also solely responsible for scheduling the members of the Y4SF students as they recycle/compost food and eliminate food waste. Gina stated that Abby is dedicated to service and will go far in life! Well done Abby!
Last weekend members of Chula Vista Sunrise and Chula Vista Eastlake Rotary Clubs, in addition to Interact club members from Hilltop High School, met at Fisher House at Balboa Naval Hospital to spend a few hours cleaning up the grounds. We disassembled a play structure, trimmed some trees and pulled weeds to order to make an inviting space for families staying at Fisher House. In addition, CVSR donated $500 of gift cards and members brought snacks and toys for the children.
This week we welcomed Bob Silva from the Chula Vista Noon Rotary Club who shared pictures and trivial facts about the history of commercial aviation in both San Diego and the United States. Complete with many old pictures, and facts unknown to many in attendance, Bob educated us on the creation of aviation in our area and how it has grown to today's expanding of San Diego International. Bob spent over 30 years in the airport industry. His programs and work has been recognized nationally by the Airport Council International for North American and the Airport Minority Advisory Council. Thank you Bob for a very informative and entertaining program!
It's a wrap! Congratulations to Faber 66, winning team at our Trivia Night 2024! Thank you to all the participating teams and volunteers who made this our 13th successful team trivia challenge! We raised money for Polio Plus and in addition, will be selecting some local charities to support.
