Our total dollar amount of giving to The Rotary Foundation has exceeded our club goal for this year, HOWEVER, our goal of involving every club member has fallen short.

A gift of just $25 qualifies you as a member of EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year). Since we're not having to pay for lunches this month, why not donate the cost of a lunch or two to The Rotary Foundation?

How?

Visit https://www.rotary.org/en and click on donate. You'll need your Rotary ID (it's on the mailing label of your Rotarian Magazine and in your profile on ClubRunner).

Contact TRF Chair Nick Leon for instructions on donating via the mail

Why?

TRF 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.

What impact can one donation have?

For as little as 60 cents, a child can be protected from polio.
$50 can provide clean water to help fight waterborne illness.
$500 can launch an antibullying campaign and create a safe environment for children.

Thank You!

Interact Area 6 Charity Dinner

RC San Jose East/Evergreen was well represented at the 16th Annual Area 6.

Kansen and Daisy Chu posed with Area 6 Director Brandon Huynh and Piedmont Hills’ co-media director Christopher Mai.

Marie and Deepali sat with Kim, who's been the faculty adviser to Milpitas Interact since 2011, for the dinner portion of the event.

We enjoyed meeting Deepali's son who kindly served as our photographer.

Sara and Greg with Ruth were able to stay for the exciting and very polished entertainment after the dinner.

Richard D. King Annual Youth Speech Contest

The Richard D. King Annual Youth Speech Contest is named to honor Rotary International Past President, District 5170 Past Governor Richard D. King in thanks for his many years of “Service Above Self” to District 5170 and to the rest of the Rotary world.

This year's theme is “Rotary Connects The World”

The Rotary Clubs of District 5170 sponsor the Richard D. King Annual Youth Speech Contest with three goals in mind for the Club Members and each Speech Contest Participant:

To increase the personal knowledge and awareness of the importance of being able to speak effectively before a group.
To increase public knowledge of what Rotary is and does throughout the world, especially among young people. Through this knowledge, we hope that they will learn, as we have in the past, “He who serves best profits most.”
To increase participation in the contest and to provide all high school contestants an opportunity to win prizes as top speaker, or runners-up, in District 5170.
