| "What's Happening in San Diego" Featured by the CCDC August 17th (Tuesday) 6:30 pm @ KC BBQ Have you ever wondered about what's new and what is coming up for Downtown San Diego? Sheila Hardin of the Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC) will be leading our Rotaract group on a San Diego bus tour, highlighting the development of retail, residential, office, hotel, cultural and education projects and improvements of the Downtown area. This bus tour will replace our 2nd meeting of the month and we encourage everyone to put it on your calendars now. This is something you will not want to miss! We will still be meeting at KC BBQ at 6:30pm, and heading to meet Sheila shortly thereafter. There are 30 available spaces for the bus tour, so please come to this week's meeting to sign up. If you are not at the meeting, please e-mail Andrea or call at 619.921.9422 to save a spot! Other information about the CCDC may be found on the website: http://www.ccdc.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/resources.info We'll talk more about the tour at this week's meeting. But, be sure to mark your calendars in advance for the 8/17/04 tour. Any members, prospects or guests to our meeting that night are welcome to join. You won't want to miss it! |

Designated Driver Program We are planning to adopt a program for safe rides home for any members in need at SD Rotaract Social Events. We will be discussing options at tonight’s meeting. It is important for us to remember that while we love to have a good time, we are a socially responsible club and we think it’s important to guarantee the safety of our members and friends. |

International Events Geoff met with the Stockholm Rotaract on his Europe trip and is planning to give a report on their club as well as on the countries he visited. This will be the first of a new initiative to educate our members on other countries. If you are planning a trip outside the US and want to give a report upon your return, please contact Denisse Roldan, our International Chair, before and/or after your trip. We are also happy to help make contact with Rotaract clubs that may be in your destination city so let us know if we can help locate contacts for you. This is a great way to get some local guidance and make international friends! |
