January continues to be a strong month for the meeting programs at the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen.

January 21, John Hogan, CEO of Teen Force, will discuss the job training program his organization does. The main thrust is help high school students get their first job. Teen Force is having a new initiative where they are looking to work with Eastside Union High School students to get into the job market. This program is within the mission of the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen to assist community members so it is a must see event. AND we induct John Goldstein during this meeting!

January 28, is the club level annual Richard D. King Speech Contest. Students from local Eastside Union High Schools will write and present their own speeches. The winner of the club contest goes on to compete in the area level and then regional level contests in Rotary District 5170. In addition to the students getting a venue to practice their speaking skills, there are cash prices for winners at the various levels of the contest.

Hope to see you at the club meetings. If you are not yet a member, these four meetings will give you a great feel for what the Rotary Club meetings are like. You will also get an overview of the types of areas and projects with which the club is becoming involved.
