(REDONDO BEACH) October 8, 2014 -- In other business, Terry Bichlmeier gave an update on the weekend trip to LaPaz.  Eleven Rotarians are planning to make the trip.  Terry made last minute preparations gathering school supplies for the 120 students attending Diana Laura Riojas Reyes Primary School Dining Hall.

Club President Rolando Andrade promoted the upcoming Domestic Violence vigil at the Redondo Beach City Hall this weekend. We were also reminded of the upcoming USC-UCLA luncheon on November 18th at the Doubletree Hotel in Torrance.  Our club co-sponsors the event and it takes the place of one of our regular weekly meetings.

A short board meeting was called immediately after today's luncheon.  Jeff Melodia presented the idea for the Mayors Cup Golf Tournament to be sponsored by the Rotary Club of Redondo Beach. "We will try for the Rolling Hills Country Club on November 24th for the first tournament," Jeff said. He estimates the cost bill be $190 per player, and hopes to attract 40 players.  The board approved the idea unanimously.  More details to follow.

Rotarian visitors included Congresswoman Janice Hahn, District Governor Nominee Greg O'Brien, Past District Governors Dennis Benko and Lew Bertram, San Pedro Rotary Club President Arlene Dickey, and former member of our club James Sharvin.  Jim recently moved to Ohio, and stopped by for  a visit enroute from Honolulu to Chicago. Guests included aides to Rep. Hahn, Ivan Sulic and Elizabeth Odendahl.
