The District has just received word from the Government of India that they are planning to hold a polio National Immunization Day (NID) on January 19, 2020. We will be organizing a group program to Delhi and Uttar Pradesh to participate in the NID and house-to-house activities. This will be the 32nd such trip we have organized to take North American Rotarians to participate in a polio NID. In addition to participating in the polio immunization activities, we will meet with the World Health Organization and local Rotary clubs in Delhi and Jaipur. A couple of days have been carved out to travel to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Jaipur to see the Pink City.
The planning group is still putting together the itinerary and more will be coming out about this during the week of October 28, if not earlier. This is informational only for those who may want to block some time off your very busy calendars if you are interested in participating. More to come.
It's time to register for Rotary Day at the United Nations. This year's theme is "Connecting for Good," and the event will focus on community-based solutions to the global refugee crisis. Mark your calendars for November 9th and take part in this wonderful event.

The Rotary Club of San Diego Coastal is "throwing" a fundraiser. They want to try something unusual and stress reliving - axe throwing - all for a great cause! The event will be held on Wednesday, November 6, 2019 from 6-8:00 pm at Battle Axe, 6330 Riverdale Street, San Diego, CA 92120 (Mission Gorge - Close to HWY 15 and Friars Road).
Participants will be coached by ax-perts in the fine art of axe throwing. You will get to practice and then compete in the games. Sounds unusual, right? See it in action - watch video. This is a creative fundraiser. The cost is $35 per ticket if purchased before November 6. It will be $40 at the door. This event is open to anyone over 18 years of age and 10-17 years of age with guardian present. Great pizza, pasta, and salad from Filippi's is included. Water and soft drinks are also included (sorry no alcoholic beverages while throwing axes around).
Proceeds will be used to support youth leadership through RYLA, LEAD and MUN programs for kids. To purchase tickets, click here.
The weather was perfect on Saturday, October 12, 2019 for the 8th Annual Rotary Club of Del Mar's Chili & Quackers Challenge. They had all varieties of chili, including an entry from PDG, Mel Gallegos. A big thank you is extended to the Rotary Club of Del Mar-Solana Beach for the loan of canopies that provided chili cooks with much needed shade. The Del Mar lifeguards loaded more than 1,000 ducks into their surf rescue boat and piloted them to the surf line for launch. The ducks all found their way to shore quickly and everyone on the beach (and even on doodle) helped us ensure that all ducks came back safely.
Proceeds from this fundraiser will help the Rotary Club of Del Mar with many of their community outreach programs, both at the local and international level. The event is well known and has raised the visibility of Rotary within the community.
