We meet every Wednesday at noon at the Bluewater Grill Seafood Restaurant and Oyster Bar,
- Arrive in advance to familiarize yourself with the room and become comfortable with the set-up. The room will be available to you at 11:45 AM; Rotarians gather at noon or shortly thereafter. Be sure to check in at the registration desk to obtain a name badge.
- Visit the club's Web site at www.redondobeachrotary.org to familiarize yourself with our club and its activities.
- A standing rule of our club is that speakers not solicit financial donations for any cause they may represent, or sell anything, during their presentation to our club. Rotary International is a charitable and humanitarian non-government organization (NGO) Our club already donates many thousands of dollars and thousands of hours annually to needy projects locally and worldwide; each project we support is studied and carefully worked into our annual budget.
