1.  Welcome to our new President Tony Parrille at his first official  club meeting.  We look forward to a great Rotary year with Tony at the helm.
  2.   Thank you to Rotary Partners under the leadership of Jean Parrille for a great social for all club members and guests on Saturday 07/08/17 at the Arboretum where we picniced on the lawn  and listened to the concert by country singer Le Ann Rimes.  Everyone had a great time, especially the peacocks who also entertained us.
  3. We are saddened at the sudden death after surgery of Rotary International’s President Elect Sam Owori who was a former District Governor and a member of the Rotary Club of Kampala, Uganda.  His year would have begun on 07/01/18.
  4. President Tony was installed at the club’s installation dinner on 06/30/17 by the new District Governor Raghada Khoury who is a member of the Rotary Club of Apple Valley where she was club President.  Raghada was born in Amman, Jordan, raised in Yonkers, NY and has called California home since 1977.  She lived in Azusa before moving to Apple Valley in 1987.  In 2001 she graduated from the University of Redlands earning a Masters of Arts in Management.  She has been in real estate investment for the past 13 years.  She has served as the President of the Domestic Violence Shelter for Women and Children in Victor Valley for over 5 years and served on many District committees before becoming District Governor for 2017-2018.
  5.  A big “thank you” to  Past President  Eric Barter for the great job he did in chairing the club’s Installation Dinner at the San Gabriel Country Club on 06/30/17. The venue was perfect as was the dinner and hopefully we can have  more installations there in the years to come.
