Helping Provide A Facelift

Members and family of the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary (Karen Mortimer, Bill Mortimer, Rob Weinberg, Emily Weinberg, Randy Rose, Greg Stanton, Rex Teets) participated in the semi-annual FACELIFT project organized by Community HousingWorks. In the space of six hours, 750 volunteers helped clean up a tired neighborhood, painting fences, digging gardens, planting pavers, and hauling away (literally) tons of trash.

The Rotarians were so pleased with the results that the RB Sunrise Rotary club is planning to open this event to the entire membership and make it a regular community service project.

Joe Giamanco Gets Paul Harris

Joe Giamanco had a pleasant surprise at today's meeting as Carl Kruse announced Joe's being named as a Paul Harris award recipient. The Paul Harris award is given when $1,000 is contributed to the Rotary Foundation by a community leader or in their name. And though Joe hadn't yet earned enough points to qualify for the award on his own, his hard work in helping to improve the world around him apparently impressed others, who contributed points in his name.
