Redondo Beach Rotary Club News

 
It’s taken a long time for women to gain influence in Rotary International. Here in the South Bay it started in 1977 when a Rotary club in Duarte brought a lawsuit. That case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled in 1987 that women were granted membership. Since then, it’s been all go. Now, in the South Bay six women are presidents of their Rotary Club. The six presidents of their club (pictured above) are business executives, business owners, founders, bankers … and housewives. They are (left to right, top to bottom): Lisa Hemmat-Lupercio of the Rotary Club of Manhattan Beach; Caroline Brady of the Rotary Club of San Pedro; Julie Parton Rosas of the Rotary Club of Palos Verdes Peninsula; Gilda Dyckman of the Rotary Club of El Segundo; Victoria Perez-Thacker of the Rotary Club of Palos Verdes Sunset and LeeAnn Robinson of the Rotary Club of Redondo Beach. The article about women in leadership originally appeared in The Beach Reporter.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Forever in our Hearts, A tribute to Jeff Weigel
Our dear friend and extraordinary Rotarian Jeff Weigel passed away on March 27th surrounded by his beautiful family.  Our hearts go out to Karen, his children, his grandchildren, and all who loved him. 
Jeff was able to hear loving messages in the days before his passing. Here is one that moved us all. 
  
 
The Foundation Celebration occurred yesterday Sunday Nov19th at the Marina Del Rey Marriott Hotel. 
 
 
Webster gives the definition of a scholarship as “academic knowledge, learning.” With that in mind, The Rotary Club of Redondo Beach donated $5,000 to The El Camino Foundation to aid students attending the El Camino Collage with scholarships. “This fall we were able to award over $850,000 in scholarships,” said Andrea Sala, executive director of the foundation in a thank-you letter to past-president Jeff Weigel.
 
The Rotary Club scholarships went to students majoring in automotive field, architecture, nursing, etc.  Each of the students was a graduate of Redondo Union High School. Altogether five scholarships were awarded; each student received a $1,000 scholarship.
 
All five sent thank-you letters to the club. “More than just financial aid, the scholarship represents a belief in my potential and a vote of confidence in my aspirations,” wrote Michael Morgan, one of the recipients.  He continued, “I hope to one day to have the privilege of giving back to the community, just as you have done for me.” Other letters noted the scholarships aided with various expenses of attending college. All expressed gratitude to the club for the scholarships.
