Dear Fellow Rotarians,

The Rise Against Hunger event is primarily centered around packaging meals to ship off to 3rd-world countries.

Rise Against Hunger events take place all around the USA, and based on the geographic location of your event, the meals will be shipped to the nearest developing country in need of our assistance.  In our case, they will be shipped to Southeast Asia.

Back in February, we packaged 25,000 meals.  It was a fun, energetic atmosphere of about 100 volunteers forming assembly lines to package meals while listening to music and socializing.  The volunteer jobs range from pouring the foods in bins for individual meal packaging, creating the individual meal bags, sealing the bags, putting labels on the bags, and packing them in boxes.  To keep things interesting, we change job duties throughout the event.

For more information about this endeavor please visit - https://www.riseagainsthunger.org

We will circulate a sigh-up sheet at the next several weekly lunch meetings. This is a great event, and I hope to see many of you there. 

Best Regards,

Michael

Her primary responsibilities consist of working with the local media as well as outreach to the medical and non-medical communities throughout the South Bay and surrounding areas to spread the word about Cancer Support Community’s many valuable free programs, services and fundraising events. Theresa came to work for Cancer Support Community after a good friend was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Her passion for the work was further fueled by the loss of her father and Stepfather to lung cancer several years ago.

Sharon Rose is a Community Services K9 Specialist. She has worked for the RBPD for 30 years in various civilian roles, starting with jailer, promoting to jail manager, then evidence manager which included ancillary positions such as PD facility manager, fleet manager, and radio and equipment manager. When the opportunity for the first Facility Dog handler was suggested by the Chief of Police, she jumped at the chance. Sharon and Facility Dog Meredith have been a team for one year. Meredith was donated by Canine Companions for Independence, one of the oldest and most respected organizations who breed, raise and train service dogs for recipients within the United States. They work with officers in the role of peer support, with the community as a victim advocate, with the schools for student outreach, and with the senior centers, care centers, rehabilitation centers, and the Courts to help bring smiles and laughter.

Luz Diaz, instructor of Walk In Dance Out, is especially known for her graceful, joyful, and elegant dance abilities and has been applauded by her dance community for her teaching approach. Her vision is to "Enhance relationships through dancing" by encouraging feelings of joy and wellbeing, facilitating romance and true friendships.

If you want the fun and romance of Ballroom dancing, call on Luz. Luz after competing and obtaining first place in the 1984 California Emerald Ball, and under the rigorous training of the iconic Lou Schreiber, World First Place Winner- Teacher Competition, representing Arthur Murray Dance Studios, she learned how to teach Ballroom, and realized that social dancing is more fun and has continued teaching dance with passion and humor for over 30 years. However, her student’s testimony is the best part of her curriculum, from “Thank you for bringing dating back into our lives; it gets more fun dancing with each other!” to “Every time I walk in [into the dancing hall] I start feeling happy” or “I have been to cruises around the world because I’ve learned and it is fun to dance.” 

Through the years Luz has served as a hospital chaplain and a grief counselor in the greater Los Angeles area. Since retiring, she volunteers with the local organ and tissue donation organization.  She holds degrees in MA, EdS and a Certification for Bioethics Studies from Loma Linda University, California. Her love for humanity, however, has found its best expression in her dancing and in her teaching, making the joy of social dancing available so others can Walk In and Dance Out!

Please join Steve Aspel and your Rotary colleagues for a few hours of food, drink and lively conversation. 

In lieu of our regular lunch meeting, our Young Professionals Group will host their quarterly evening meeting for the whole club. It will beheld from 6:30-9:30PM at the Hey 19 Public House located at 4525 Calle Mayor, Torrance, CA 90505. Hors d'oeuvres will be served and there will be a cash bar.

Judith  Norton received her B.A. in Speech Communications from California State University Long Beach, continued studies at the USC Annenberg School of Communication and earned her Master of Education degree from CSU-East Bay. She has a background in teaching at the college level and as a corporate trainer. Later in her career she became involved in instructional design, specifically designing courses for online learning.

Quite by accident she started creating memory books for the aging parents of baby boomers. A new design focus was formed when she realized how much she enjoyed learning about her clients’ lives. She’s gone on to create printed coffee-table books for their families that include access to their oral histories. This is a priceless keepsake for families.

The focus of her presentation will be a do-it-yourself approach to telling your story. She’s available if an individual needs her, but her main focus is encouraging individuals to tell their story.

As we age gracefully, we realize the importance of telling our story for our families. What do we want to share with them? What nugget of information will explain where they came from? What would you do differently? And, what would you do more of? Perhaps it's time to tell your story.

Immediately after the lunch meeting, Jenny Swan and Abby Arnold will present the proposed Redondo Beach Homeless Plan to our club for review and comments.

Please bring your laptop computer if you are assigned to check people in at Casino Night. This session is primarily focused on check-in training and process.  However, we can cover any other Casino Night issue, so any club member can attend.

Tickets are $28 each - Sign up at one of the Wednesday lunch meetings.

Nancy Weisel

Nancy was born in NY- in a little town called Wantagh on Long Island. She’d like to say it was a bustling metropolis however it was a sleepy little town of houses built after WW2. She lived in one of those houses (with one bathroom) until she went away to college, so she always had one place to call home. She attended Boston University undergraduate, earning a degree in Sociology, and then went back to school at night for a Masters in Finance. She's not sure how it happened but she ended up in the finance field her entire career.

Her journey to the West Coast started in 1990 working for Merrill Lynch and living in Manhattan, when they relocated her to Dallas where she met her husband Jim. He is a cowboy from Oklahoma who was doing some work on her house. After 5 years in TX Merrill offered her another relocation to CA which she and Jim  could not turn down. Given that she had only been to CA once before, she had no idea where to live and what to look for. All  she knew was that price wise compared to TX you got half as much for twice as much. That relocation led her to a home in Redondo Beach and subsequent finance positions here in CA. She recently took an early retirement package from her last company and is now looking forward to the next phase of her life, one thatr will involve the Redondo Beach Rotary Club.

John Barnett

As children, John and his brother spent countless weekends exploring the King Harbor breakwater while their father socialized inside at KHYC.  IHe became an expert sailor and crewed for many different skippers in races around the buoys and cruises to the various channel islands.  As a certified scuba diver he dove on many of those cruises. For his Eagle Scout project he coordinated a joint beach clean up with the Boy Scout and Girl Scout Camps. During college he put himself through school at CSUN and volunteered providing sailing lessons in the summer and skiing lessons in the winter to blind people. 

After college John went to work at Price Waterhouse with his accounting degree.  After a couple years he changed course and went into software sales.  First with IBM, then CA, and finally HP. After his unit was spun-off to a UK company he decided to take some time off to give back to the community and joined Rotary. 

We will hand out shoes to about 50 children chosen by the Salvation Army.  If you would like to volunteer to help kids choose their shoes contact George Schane (310) 994-6883.
