MAY

Meet our Mayor
At the May 10 meeting of the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen, we will have a special program speaker, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo. He will discuss issues facing San Jose. While this will be a regular club meeting, San Jose East/Evergreen likes to open meetings to the public that have a wide public interest as a public service. Please plan on attending. Since we will have a larger audience than normal, please let me know if you wish to attend so we can have enough lunches available. The cost for lunch is $20.
 
We meet at:
 
San Jose Country Club
We normally have our speaker start at 1:00 pm, but the Mayor will have a tight schedule that day and has asked to speak at 12:30 pm. The meeting will start at 12:15 pm so we will be ready for Mayor Liccardo.
 
Hope to see you there......
 
Welcome Aboard
The induction of new members is a special opportunity to welcome people into your club. This is a memorable experience and in this ceremony the president lets the new membesr know that they are valued and appreciated.
