This last weekend showed me that the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen is becoming established as an integral part of the East Side of San Jose and Evergreen communities.
On Friday, I attended the Mexican flag raising at the San Jose City Hall. I had received an invitation to attend from Vice Mayor Magdalena Carrasco. She is also the Council Member for District 5 made up of a large portion of the East Side.
Sunday, 5 Rotarians from the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen assisted at the Viva Calle SJ. That of course was the closure of 7.3 miles in San Jose. This allowed for a very long pedestrian and bicycle mall. Some of the San Jose East/Evergreen Rotarians were involved with traffic flow of the bicycles. One was involved with assisting the Pokemon activities related to Viva Calle SJ.
We all had our yellow club shirts on and were easily spotted. Several people came up to me knowing who I was. Passed the ego part of being known, they knew I was involved with San Jose East/Evergreen Rotary and wanted to discuss the club. Some will come to club meetings to check out the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen. I am setting up meetings with a couple of people I met to chat about our club’s activities.
Our robotics competitin idea being developed for use at high schools in the East Side Union High School District, is underway. Want to get involved in a stateof the art techie project that will assist underserved young people? Stop by.
Bottom line, come visit us on Thursdays at the Ranch Golf Club, 4601 Hill Top View Ln, San Jose, CA. We start to gather at noon. The meetings start at 12:15. At 1:00 pm our program speaker begins and ends by 1:30 pm. There is a $20 cost for lunch. If you do not want lunch, there is still a charge of $10.
Please plan on attending and get to know us……
