Executive Secretary Ron Smith was named Rotarian of the Month for June 2018.  His dedication to the Club, his support for the President, an always smiling face and active involvement is greatly appreciated.

Rotary!  When you have eyes and boots on the ground in 200 countries, you are the go to guy for any number of issues: earthquakes, floods, and/or ebola. AND, Rotarians embrace opportunities to join together to do together that which they are not able to do alone. This Rotary year alone Escondido Rotarians and Escondido Rotary Foundation have provided $5000 for Hurricane Relief with so much more in the years past. Rotarians giving to The Rotary Foundation are recognized for each $1000 donation of cash & points.  Many are recipients because Rotarians made a gift of recognition. 

Past President II Royce Moore inducted our newest member LISA PETERSON into our Club.  Lisa Peterson is the new Director of the Safari Park of the San Diego Zoo.  She was proposed by Bob McLure, the former Director of the Safari Park.  PP Royce outlined the history of the “rotating” Rotary Club, the Service Above Self motto, and the Four-Way Test.  Lisa’s first assignment is to be a Greeter for members arriving for our meetings.  Lisa has the distinction of having already attended the District Training Seminar, prior to becoming a member.

Sandy MacDougall was named Rotarian of the Month for her unflagging work on Coeur.
