Visioning - Part Two

Posted by Sara Calkins on Nov 07, 2018

Moving Ahead with a Plan!

On Thursday, November 15 we will have a Club Assembly to view the results of our club's District 570's Visioning exercise capably led by Greg Bogdanoff, Arley Marley and Linda Price.

Ten club members met with the District team for almost four hours on Saturday morning, October 27 and brain-stormed ideas for a vision of how our club will look in five years. Greg, Aarley and Linda worked as our scribes and helped us narrow the focus of the scores of ideas we came up with, to those that were the most meaningful for the majority of us.

Come and share in the Vision - the next steps will start with the development of a Strategic Plan led by P Sara Calkins, PE Harbinder Sikka and PP Robbie Izat. Richard Dorsay has agreed to Champion the process and make sure we get on and stay on track!

Posted by Sara Calkins on Nov 14, 2018

Next week our meeting will be on Monday, November 19. We'll be at the Family Learning Center at Foothill High School filling bags with turkeys and "all the fixin's". These meal components are given to student parents that are completing requirements for high school graduation; given to show them that we respect and support their determination to succeed.

Foothill's Mission Statement

To provide a safe and caring environment where students achieve the academic, personal and social development required to continue learning, pursue post-secondary education, compete in a dynamic job market, and participate in a diverse, democratic society.

Come to participate in our first Youth Service Project this year
Come around 10am to help fill bags
Come around noon for lunch and an opportunity to meet these wonderful students
Come to send our members off with Happy Thanksgiving wishes (club will be dark on the day)

Vocational Project - Off and Running!

Wednesday, September 26, 2018

“For the first time in its 52-year history the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen is focused on creating an annual self-driving race car (SDRC) competition for high school students.

Championed by president-elect Harbinder Sikka, our club brought cutting-edge autonomous vehicle high technology to students in the East Side Union High School District (ESUHSD). The majority of ESUHSD students belong to an economically disadvantaged family and represent demographics under-represented in the technology workforce. This initiative will provide exposure to career options in high technology. Students will utilize this new technology in a fun and engaging manner through a self-driving race car competition.

Our club, with funding assistance from the San Jose East Endowment Fund, donated six SDRC kits to Silver Creek High School. Through the diligent efforts of Harbinder Sikka and our past president, Nick Leon and Silver Creek High School adviser Mr. Imani Butler, the Silver Creek SDRC club had 24 students sign-up within the first two weeks. The club meets every Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. President-Elect Harbinder Sikka will be meeting with Mount Pleasant High School’s club advisers to set up a second club next week.”

2018-19: Be the Inspiration

RI President-elect Barry Rassin’s theme for 2018-19, Be the Inspiration, asks Rotarians to inspire change in the world and in each other. “I ask all of you to Be the Inspiration to help Rotary move from reaction to action — to take a hard look at the environmental issues that affect health and welfare around the world and do what we can to help.”

Why Rotary?

November is The Rotary Foundation Month

Posted by Sara Calkins on Nov 01, 2018

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.

During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.

With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.

Our mission

The mission of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.

Why should I donate to The Rotary Foundation?

Your donation makes a difference to those who need our help most. More than 90 percent of donations go directly to supporting our service projects around the world.

How does The Rotary Foundation use donations?

Our 35,000 clubs carry out sustainable service projects that support our six causes. With donations like yours, we’ve wiped out 99.9 percent of all polio cases. Your donation also trains future peacemakers, supports clean water, and strengthens local economies.

What impact can one donation have?

It can save a life. A child can be protected from polio with as little as 60 cents. Our partners make your donation go even further. For every $1 Rotary commits to polio eradication, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed $2.
