                                                         Rotary IS:
For over 100 years Rotary has been a non-religious, non-political organization of people dedicated to making their communities and the world a better place through acts of charity, fellowship, and service. Today the men and women of Rotary are united by a commitment to truth, fairness, building goodwill, and a desire for mutual success. For tomorrow we see hope in a drop of vaccine, a jug of clean water, and a handshake that reaches around the world. 

                                                  ----------------------------
                      The Rotary Wheel
Around the hub of fellowship is built the wheel of Rotary,
with spokes reaching out like hands to people of all lands.
Shoulder to shoulder we stand, hands clasped in mutual helpfulness;
bound by an encircling golden band.       "Service Above Self"
is the power that makes the Rotary wheel go around,
blending personalities and binding nationalities."

2-24   Tonight we had a special program planned for all the students that are in our sponsored "Interact Club" at the San Jacinto Valley Academy.  As it turns out their Basketball team made the CIF playoffs so some of the student's weren't able to come, so we postponed that program until all the students can come.  We want them to see Rotary in action and hopefully impress on them the traits of Quality, Truthfulness, our 4 Way Test that we all attempt to live by ,service to others etc.  These are the students who were able to come, and Rigo Macias, one of the faculty advisors.


                                              ----------------------------
