Hard working Rotarians, Rotaractors and community members from all over the West Coast are taking the long way ‘round to the Zone Leadership Institute, by way of 23 Rotary Districts in a recreation vehicle making fourteen project stops to meet up with that District’s fellow Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors and community members. 
 
SHOW THE POWER OF SAN DIEGO AREA ROTARY CLUBS on November 9^th in Encinitas, as the Connecting for Good tour stops at the RAY GRISET BOYS & GIRLS CLUB, where kids from all walks of life meet to learn character and citizenship, have a safe place to hang out, and become the leaders of tomorrow.

Come for a couple hours or stay for the entire day, whatever works best for you! We’ll have a number of projects available to our Rotarians and would LOVE your help:

• Work hard digging and planting in the half acre urban farm
• Paint and spruce up the Clubhouse with needed repairs and maintenance
• Volunteer in the ceramics rooms where kids with autism spectrum and developmental disabilities find a calm and quiet place to learn and participate with others
• Visit the Center for Healthy Lifestyle, and help prepare the outdoor space for the programs teaching kids about healthy eating, financial literacy, and self-esteem

As part of this wonderful day of service, you’ll enter into the Boys & Girls Club’s NO BULLY ZONE and make the environment one where Club kids feel safe and supported when they are out of school. The Club is longest serving youth organizations in its area having never turned a child away.   If you can’t make it to the Day of Service during the day, join the socializing and networking at a lively happy hour to enjoy the company of friends starting at 5:30pm.  We'll be celebrating all of our wonderful accomplishments at the Boys & Girls Club and can't wait to see everyone!
