Our Club along with our Satellite had 37 members registered at the President's dinner at the Mariott South. That was the highest number of any club in our District. I want to thank all members who supported the event. There were 420 registered for the dinner from three Districts....5440, 5450 and 5470. All three District Governors were present.

RI TAKES ON PASADENA AT THE ROSE PARADE!
The mighty dragon was RI's entry this year's entry into the Rose Parade. The Tournament of Roses approved the design of a colorful travelling dragon representing and celebrating all the Rotarians who through the Rotary Foundation have travelled throughout the world enabling and completing projects in the six areas of focus. The theme was the same as the Centennial Theme “Doing Good in the World.”
Number 18 along the parade route, the dragon was 35-foot-long. A 100-year medallion hung off the dragon’s bit celebrated the Rotary Foundation Centennial. Classic suitcases featured the six Rotary symbols: peace and conflict prevention/resolution; disease prevention and treatment; water and sanitation; maternal and child health; basic education and literacy; and economic and community development.
John Germ, Rotary International President said "Today, our work on Rotary's public image is more important than ever. The work of Rotarians on the Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee is a good example of Rotary creativity and resourcefulness." Rotary Clubs and Districts in North America provided all of the funds to build the float. No funds are received from Rotary International.
