| Tijuana Homebuilding in October October 9th (Saturday) On Saturday, October 9th, in collaboration with the Downtown Breakfast Rotary and the Tijuana Rotaract Club, Rotaract Club of Downtown San Diego members will be heading South of the Border on a day-long trip to help build homes for needy families in Tijuana, México. No experience necessary. This is one of the most impactful community programs in Downtown Rotaract history. We have over 20 people already signed up to attend. You won’t want to miss it! We are signing people up based on membership first, so if you are a prospect, please do everything you can to fill your membership requirements in September so we can give you priority status and can guarantee your place on the homebuilding crew. To learn more about this worthwhile project, please visit México Caravan Ministries' website at http://www.mcministries.net, or feel free to contact your Club's International Chair, Denisse Roldán. |

They also feature live music for your listening and dancing pleasure, and food vendors selling a variety of edibles. To volunteer, e-mail Andrea Espinoza or Carl Tiu.
