- Hotel Del 100th
Anniversary Christmas Tree Lighting!
The Hotel del Coronado's "Lighting
of the Del" will be held 4pm - 5:30pm this Wednesday, December 1, 2004 at a
special 100th anniversary celebration. The ceremony will be held at the hotel,
1500 Orange Avenue, Coronado. Those interested in attending should contact
Kerrith Gray for more
details.
History of the Hotel Del tree: "The hotel's outdoor, living
Christmas tree first was lighted in 1904, using large, colored globes
illuminated with electricity generated at the hotel. At the time, the hotel was
one of the largest U.S. buildings to have electricity. Hotel officials say the
hotel's tree pre-dates other elecric-lighted trees, including the national
Christmas tree in Washington D.C., which first was lighted in 1923, and New
York's Rockefeller Center tree, which originally was lighted in 1933. The
historic hotel's tree has been lighted every year since 1904, except during
World War II and the energy crisis of the 1970's."

- Warren Miller's New Ski
Film @ MCASD La Jolla
December 11 (Saturday)
6:00 pm
La Jolla
Museum of Contemporary Art (MCASD La Jolla)
Are you ready for ski season?!?
Do you like to watch movies of skiers and snowboarders doing tricks that would
kill most people? Do you like to watch that in a big theatre with cool music,
fun crowds, awesome raffles, and free stuff? Do you like to put the rag top
down so your hair can blow?
Well, forget that last one but if you're into
the first 3 you've probably heard of Warren Miller. He is the preeminent skiing
film director in his 55th year of releasing his annual ski film to start up the
ski season. This year, we'll be going to the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary
Art on Prospect to see his film and maybe get some drinks afterwards.
The
film will be shown on Saturday, December 11th at 6pm. Tickets are $18 each and
you get a free lift ticket to Heavenly in Tahoe, subscription to Skiing
Magazine, and some more stuff included in the price.
Tickets go fast so
please RSVP to Justin Carreiro, (jscarreiro@yahoo.com or 760.214.2816),
so he can purchase our groups tickets in advance.
The trailer for the movie
can be found at:

Rotaract
& Rotary Trivia
What are the advantages of being a Rotary
member?
Rotary club members are part of a diverse group of
professional leaders working to address various community and international
service needs. Through community service and other means, Rotary club members
help promote peace and understanding throughout the world. They are the force
that allows Rotary to carry out its many humanitarian efforts and achieve its
mission. Membership in Rotary offers a number of benefits, including affecting
change within the community, developing leadership skills, gaining an
understanding of — and having an impact on — international
humanitarian issues, and developing relationships with community and business
leaders. |
