Mollie announced at lunch yesterday the continuation of the club's support of our local schools and teachers. Following up on our great China Lake Gets Reamed paper drive, we are doing a school supply round up. Many students arrive at class without the supplies they need to participate which means usually the teacher has to have extra supplies on hand. We are asking Rotarians and others to donate $20 worth of school supplies to help our teachers. Or you can give Mollie $20 or $20 worth of paper. Every little bit helps. The supplies can be dropped off at Packwrap or in the marked boxes at Staples. Just contact Mollie and we can get you a list of the supplies. The supplies will be distributed to the schools with assistance from Jodi Rummer. Interactors Help Too! The Interact Clubs also have been doing a school supply project. They have been collecting supplies and giving them to the local Salvation Army. The Salvation Army handles the distribution. Contact Solomon for more information. | | Posted by Sharon Girod on Jun 27, 2011

Behind the Brix Wall  The people behind Four Brix Wines came together originally under charitable beginnings. Four of the six founders belong to Rotary International in Simi Valley California. The other two founders are “HORs,” otherwise known as Husbands of Rotarians. After making tons of home and hobby wines with other families we decided we wanted to share the wine making experience with others. Today Four Brix Winery is all about coming together to enjoy great wines, good friends and family (like them or not- they are still family). Visit the Brix site

Please join us for this special evening. Our guest speaker is Jim Lewis. Several club members have seen Jim's presentation and all have said that it is very moving.
The recent polio outbreak in the Congo region which was declared polio free in 2000, reminds each of us that the fight is not over. The outbreak so far has killed over 100 people and over 200 are hospitalized suffering paralysis. A single infected passenger on a flight from overseas could bring this awful disease back to our country...which means this is our fight too. Please join us to hear Jim Lewis share his special presentation.
When registering, please indicate your choice of meal: Prime Rib, Salmon, or Vegetarian Pasta Primavera. Contact Jennifer Kuhlman for more information or visit the calendar for a link to register on-line. | | Posted by Sharon Girod
On Wednesday night at Victoria's at the Heritage, the Rotary Club of China Lake was joined by 5 Aussies, 1 Wombat, 1 Dingo, 1 Koala Bear and a troop of Kangroos. The visiting GSE team from the Melbourne area in Australia gave the club members and guests an informative presentation that was fun and rewarding. Because we earned Australian mementos if you got the answer correct. The final score: the Koala Bear - 1 point, the Dingo - 3 points, the Wombat - 3 points, and the Troop of Kangroos - 18 points. The winner - everyone! | | Posted by Patricia Barille

Some magnificent projects grow from very small seeds. The Rotary Foundation had that sort of modest beginning. In 1917 R.I. President Arch Klumph told the delegates to the Atlanta Convention that "it seems eminently proper that we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world." The response was polite and favorable, but the fund was slow to materialize. | | Posted by David Haugen
