| 4th Annual Ace of Hearts Fundraiser June 01 (Thursday) 7:00 - 10:00 pm Martini Ranch, Shaker Room $30 entrance fee The 4th Annual Ace of Hearts is only 8 weeks away! Ace of Hearts is a Monte Carlo Casino night, this year hosted at the Shaker Room at Martini Ranch on June 1st from 7-10 pm. We play poker, craps, blackjack and more... and all for a worthy cause. As a response to Rotary International's 2005-2006 mission, we are joining the fight for clean water as millions of children die each year from contaminated water. This year, our profits from the event will benefit an organization called Water for Children Africa. This organization helps the rural poor in Africa obtain safe water and develop cottage industries while also developing policy for water usage in villages and responsibilities for ongoing maintenance. As we get ready for this signature event, we invite you to get involved! Planning is on its way led by our two fearless Fundraising Chairs, Aaron Adragna and Danielle Esposito. Please see below the committees set up and get involved! This is definitely a team effort and you will be glad to have helped in such a worthy cause! What a way to experience Rotaract!

| 2006-2007 Rotaract Elections – Service Above
Self It is that time again! Rotaract Elections! Time for a new (and improved?) board to take the lead and bring Rotaract to its new year and new level! Here is the chance for you to become a part of a dynamic leadership group that will no doubt become part of your San Diego family. New board members will take office July 1, 2006 but the voting is soon for "officers-elect" as additional time will allow for a better transition from the current board to the new board. We plan to mentor each new board member and provide experience and knowledge transfer for planning events and meetings in advance of taking office. Nominations and voting is for the four (4) elected positions: President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. Once these four are elected they will build the rest of their supporting board. Mark your calendars now as we need every member to participate in the nomination and voting processes. Important Dates:
Please try to make it to these very crucial meetings where the future of Rotaract is determined! If you have any questions or would like more information about the positions, please contact Andrea Espinoza. |

| Rotaract & Rotary Trivia How many women are Rotary members today? Reflecting society in 1905, the organization had been limited to male members and remained so officially until 1989, when the Council on Legislation, Rotary's parliament, voted to eliminate the male-only provision, opening up membership to qualified women across the world. Today, 1.2 million Rotarians belong to some 31,000 Rotary clubs in 166 countries. Of these, approximately 144,000 are women, many of them serving in leadership roles. |
