The Rotary Club hosted a music contest with three of the local high schools. Eddie Gutierrez of Bell High School won first prize playing a great guitar solo. Eduardo Angeles of Maywood Academy High School took second place with a great piano solo. Cassandra Lopez from Bell High was in third place playing the Alto Saxophone. All of the students had practiced many hours and all did a great job. For many it was the first time in front of an audience. There were eight great soloists. They will be added in a photo album check it out. | | Posted by David Johnson on Apr 21, 2012
The Hilton Spa and Hotel in San Diego, CA was filled with Rotary membes from greater Los Angeles.CLICK on more below to see the video. District 5280 and district 5260 (San Fernando Valley) have now merged and we will now have 77 clubs in our district. Hospitality night was great. Tena Johnson made the great quesadillas and the other clubs in the district provided a plethora of food, drink, and deserts. The big Strawberries with brown sugar and sour cream, baclava from Rancho Park, Wine, Margueritas and Mai Tais were everywhere. The frozen mudslides were interesting to say the least. Music DJ started the music. The Hawaiian/Polynessian dancers shown in this video were great and all their dances were enjoyed. The kids from about 18 months to almost grown up enjoyed the festivities. The RotarActers were the most energetic! It was a great conference. Great ideas, projects, and making of new friends. Our District is in the top five of Districts in terms of Rotary Foundation giving. Enjoy. | | Posted by Paul Rivera on Mar 26, 2012

Shirley Giltzow, Rotary District 5280's chairperson for End Polio Now was our speaker at the last meeting. She was happy to inform us that for the first time ever the country of India has gone 12 months without a case of polio. There were only 622 cases of polio known last year. There are only three countries in the world; Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan that have recorded cases of polio. There may have been some cases of polio in China but likely this was cross border travel from Afghanistan. Rotary received a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation for $355,000,000 with the proviso that Rotay match this with $200,000,000. Rotary has raised $185,000,000 of this money so far. Rotary has several partners in this massive project. The major partner being The World Health Organization. Only two drops of the vaccine are required to protect child from this disease. | | Posted by David Johnson on Jan 12, 2012
