MARTIN LUTHER KING SERVICE

Martin Luther King Family Services is hosting its second annual Social Justice Awards event on April 4. Tickets are $60 a piece. Martin Luther King Family Services has been a part of the community since 1977. (http://www.mlkjrfamilyservices.org/) Their mission is to fulfill the legacy of Dr. King. The funds raised will be used to support their food bank program that now supports 500 people per week to ensure that they have access to healthy food and their after school program where they promote literacy, citizenship and social justice.

Rotary International Convention

Save the Date! The 2019 Rotary International Convention will take place June 1-5, 2019, in Hamburg, Germany. This is sure to be an excellent opportunity to enjoy fellowship and learn more about Rotary.

Our incoming District Governor, Kate Sims, will be attending a planning convention in San Diego very shortly. Kate wishes to obtain a rough count of those who are interested in attending the 2019 Rotary International Convention to discuss with other Governors.

If you are potentially interested, please reply to jennifergruszka45@gmail.com. Spouses are certainly welcome. Costs are not determined at this time, but Rotarians are responsible for flights, accommodations and Convention fees.

Historically, 20-80 members of District 7890 have attended the International Conventions. You can learn more about past and future Conventions here.
