Dear Wilshire Rotarians,

Hard to believe it's already October and the Holidays are on the horizon.  October is always a special month for The Wilshire Rotary Club, as we open our annual Pumpkin Patch held on Larchmont Blvd. The lot opens on October 10th.  You must visit on October 19th, for our pumpkin party, "The Halloween Hoedown" with a musical performance by Rob Faucette and of course, planned by our Fun Chair, Amy Cuomo.

If you're a small business owner and would like to promote your product/services to other Rotarians, join them on October 10th at The Valley Relic Museum from 5-7p. Please register at https://rotary5280.org/Events/rotary-means-business-networking-mixer.

On October 16, The Ebell will be closed for filming, so the Club will be meeting at the Anderson Munger YMCA at 12:00p.  We are planning to have our first Pageant of the Arts contest, so we need our members to attend and judge the contestants!  The winners will advance to the district-level competition for prize money and recognition.

October 27th is the annual Larchmont Family Fair on historic Larchmont Blvd from 12-5.  Our club will have a booth with carnival games for the kids but we will also promote how we "Do Good and Have Fun" in the local community.

Our annual Foundation celebration will be at SoFi Stadium on Nov. 2 from 12-4.  The 'Rotary Bowl' is our district wide effort in raising funds to support The Rotary Foundation. The Rotary Foundation is the mechanism that funds our district community grants, global grants, vocational scholarships and so much more. Please register at https://rotary5280.org/page/2024-foundation-celebration/ and ask our Foundation Chair, Mindy Lake for more details on tickets.

 

 

With gratitude,

President Josh
