| 4th Annual Jazz for Juvenile Diabetes – This
Thursday! December 01 (Thursday) 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm Onyx Room, 852 Fifth Avenue, Downtown Please join us for the Rotaract Club of Downtown San Diego's 4th Annual Jazz for Juvenile Diabetes. Enjoy food, cocktails, and the relaxed atmosphere. It's a great opportunity to meet other local San Diegans, enjoy the Latin beats, and help fund a worthy life-saving cause. The Caballero-Verde Quintet explores and redefines Latin rhythms, weaves them with a backdrop of absorbing melodies, and present their well-synchronized originals and covers of Salsa, Brazilian music, and other Latin standards into their own unique style of Latin Jazz. The philanthropic group of San Diego's young-professionals are proud to present an evening of Latin Jazz with the focus on raising money for the research of a cure for Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes. Seventy-five percent of all proceeds go to the San Diego Chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The balance of the proceeds goes to help fund Rotaract's charitable ventures throughout the year including events such as Tijuana Home Building, and worthy causes like the Ronald Mc Donald House. We're looking forward to celebrating with you for a great cause on Thursday! Tickets Available Online! Tickets to our big event are available online! Buy tickets by going to our website www.sdrotaract.org and following the links to our Jazz for Juvenile Diabetes event. Or click on the direct link: http://www.sdrotaract.org/j4j/index.html |

| Rotaract Holiday Party & White Elephant Gift
Exchange December 17 (Saturday) 8:00 pm Felix Tinkov's House, 4752 Lotus Street, 92107, 619-887-6471 'Tis the season, so clear your party calendars! It's time again for Rotaract's annual White Elephant Party. Don't know what a White Elephant Party is? This means you missed last year's party, so you better ask somebody! It's one of the more fun events we do every year. The idea is this: Bring a funny (read: crappy) gift to the party all wrapped up with no identifying marks or tags. Drop your gift off and party. Come 10:00 pm, we'll figure out how many gifts we have and prepare a series of numbers for each gift giver. Your number represents when you get to choose a gift. The first person takes a random gift and is generally crushed/amused. The second person then takes another random gift, but is able to exchange their gift with the first one picked – if they want. The next person takes a new gift from the pile and has a choice of the prior two and so on. The first person gets to go for one last exchange after the last gift is picked and/or exchanged. So mark your calendar. Trust us, this is one you don't want to miss. BTW, our host Felix won't be disappointed if you bring a fine libation or spirit. If you have any questions or if you haven't received the evite yet, please contact Felix. |

| Rotaract & Rotary Trivia What is The Rotary Foundation? An endowment fund, set up by Rotarians in 1917 "for doing good in the world," became a not-for-profit corporation known as The Rotary Foundation in 1928. Upon the death of Paul Harris in 1947, an outpouring of Rotarian donations made in his honor, totaling US$2 million, launched the Foundation's first program — graduate fellowships, now called Ambassadorial Scholarships. Today, contributions to The Rotary Foundation total more than US$ 80 million annually and support a wide range of humanitarian grants and educational programs that enable Rotarians to bring hope and promote international understanding throughout the world. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and others who share its vision of a better world. |
