PROGRAM - Our eleventh program of President Dr. Heidi’s year was introduced by September Program Chair Bonnie Best on September’s theme of Youth Services Month: Warren Fung - Rotaract. Warren is the President of Rotaract Club of Central Alameda County and brought us all up to date on Rotaract, assisted by Cindy Lieu, Service Director.
Warren and Cindy shared a lot of information on the history and current activities of the Rotaract Club of Central Alameda County. They are committed to giving back to the community, enjoy socials, like having fun, desire networking and “just a group of young professionals” and more. Recently they have been involved with the San Leandro Art Association Festival, had conversations/language games with Taiwanese kids, worked with a FIT group from Japan, worked in the All Saint’s Church Food Pantry and served at the Wu Sung 3rd Annual New England Clambake (Oakland China Town). Their goals by June 30 include increasing growth of the Club by ten, raise $5000, do a meaningful international project, and host their own Club fundraiser event!
Rotaract Club of Central Alameda County is seeking from local Rotary clubs: mentorship, interclub projects (community service fundraisers/socials) and networking. Warren suggested that CV Rotary to assist them greatly by including them in fundraisers, helping with venues and helping them find an international project.
Warren’s email is WarrenFung10@gmail.com . . .
LOOKING FOR THE MOLAR WITH THE GOLD GLITTER FILLING DONE “JUST FOR US” BY DR. HEIDI - Ben cleaned us out last week so with the $20 and 20 molars in the bag, Warren Fung reached into the ticket container and pulled out John Aufdermauer’s ticket. Then John reached into the bag searching for the white molar free from decay with golden sprinkles and won . . . $5! Had John pulled out a decayed tooth, he would have had to pay $5.00!
