Life
California is an organization that encourages organ and
tissue donation. They are the pink dot on your driver's license
organization. A suitable donor has the potential of benefitting
up to 50 people by donating his organs and tissue. After lunch, Gary Foxen, a lung recipiant, spoke
to us about the benifits of donation. Without a lung transplant
his prognosis was not good; he has had 12 years of life thanks to
donation. One can register at the DMV or on the organization's
website, http://www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org Garden Grove City Concilman Kris Beard was an honored guest. In brief remarks he touched on the effects of the California Supreme Court redevelopment agency decision. Thank you Kris. We hope to see you at future luncheons. |

ROTARY CLUBOf Garden Grove |

President’s Message The Garden Grove Rotary Club is a active Club with projects involving the Garden Grove Community, the youth of our community and the world community. Recently at our request the Garden Grove City Council proclaimed Sunday, October 24, 2010 as World Polio Day. Rotary International has been involved in eradicating polio since 1985. Today, most of the Earth's population lives in polio-free areas but there remain four countries where polio continues endemic. World Polio Day was designed to remind everyone that the job of polio eradication is not yet complete and we all remain at risk as long as polio exists anywhere. Garden Grove Rotary has been involved in polio eradication since its onset. Worldwide 2.8 million USD was raised to fight polio on October 24, 2010. Awareness of the problem death due to sudden cardiac arrest has led us to a project of providing Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and CPR training in Garden Grove. To date we have supplied AEDs to both gyms of the Boys and Girls Club of Garden Grove, our community gym and the community center. Next we will be supplying one to the Acacia Adult Day Care Services. Interact Clubs are high school service clubs like Rotary Clubs. Currently, we have two high schools Interact Clubs and are in the process of forming a third. Together we will be going to help in the decoration of the Rotary International Rose Parade Float. The club has sister club relationships with Rotary Clubs in Cuidad Guzman, Mexico and Anyang, Korea. We travel to these areas almost yearly and have done many projects together. This is a sampling of the many
service projects we do. Mainly we enjoy
getting
together with our club members weekly, have a good time and laugh a lot. Anyone who either lives or works in
Garden Grove is eligible to join our club. We invite anyone
interested
to join us
to learn more about Rotary or our club. We meet at the Marriott
Suites
at the
corner of Harbor and Chapman Wednesday at noon. If interested
call me, Errol Giuliano at 714-895-9661. Errol Giuliano Club President |
