Weekly Bulletin - May 16, 2012
Editor: Whitehead, David

Written by Bill Paul
 
Our Speaker Ellen Matsumoto (ctr) with Gayle and High School classmate Larry
(REDONDO BEACH)  Ellen Matsumoto told us she has lost most of her cases, but her legal specialty is a bit unusual.  "Most of my clients have been arrested, convicted and imprisoned for life," she said, "most of them are murderers and child abusers."  Matsumoto, who specializes in defense appeals, told us her objective is to get a new trial for her clients.  "The constitutional basis of my job is the right to appeal," she said, adding that "the advent of DNA is very significant." Matsumoto is a 1976 high school classmate of past president Larry Hashimoto.

Visiting Rotarian:  Dwight Gimenez of the West Covina Rotary Club was a guest of Nancy Campell at today's luncheon.
 
Bill Gard handled Meals-on-Wheels duties today, Tina Hansen and Jim Chen are on tap next week.
 
By a voice vote the club unanimously approved PDG Paul Netzel to serve on the nominating committee for the RI President in 2012-15 from Zone 26.

Lotsa bragging today--usually for a buck--under the Dinger Fine umbrella:  Gayle Bailey popped for $20 in recognition of 20 years in Rotary; Mark Smith (a buck) recognizing baseball on the Hill; Chuck Anderson recognized Bill Paul for his work on the Puerto Rico power point presentation last week; Terry Bichlmeier for "#1 record in baseball this year."  He said more regading this vital topic but I didn't capture his comments in my notes or memory. Oh well ....
 
Galina Gillman's number was drawn for today's raffle but alas, no luck so she only got $10.
 
Prez Scerra concluded today's meeting with a Greek proverb.  "A civilization flourishes when people plant trees under which they will never sit."
