Rotarians listen attentively last week to the presentation by LA Sanitation and Environment
This Week At Wilshire Rotary
March 5, 2023
Presidents Message
Last Saturday my husband, Steve and I attended the orientation for the upcoming District 5280 Humanitarian trip to Belize! I've been a Rotarian for six years now and have not been able to go on any of the humanitarian trips ... but this year we are going and I couldn't be more excited! I have heard from other Rotarians about their life-changing experiences on trips and can't wait to participate in my own and to, hopefully, bring much needed assistance to the people in the communities we'll be visiting. I feel so lucky to be part of an organization that provides this kind of an opportunity and look forward to sharing the journey with my fellow Rotarians.
COMING UP
Wednesday Lunch at the Ebell
KEN ATCHITY
The Story Merchant
"Write Your Own Obituary"
“I believe we can change the world through stories. I believe in making a difference in the lives of others through the power of storytelling.”
With fifty years’ experience in the publishing world, and thirty-five years in entertainment, Dr. Ken Atchity is a self-labeled “Story Merchant” – author, professor, producer, career coach, teacher, and literary manager, responsible for launching dozens of books and films.
Georgetown (BA) and Yale (Ph.d), then professor of literature at Occidental College and Fulbright Professor of American Studies to the University of Bologna before beginning his second career as literary manager and producer, Ken’s life passion is finding great storytellers and shaping them into commercial authors and screenwriters.
International Women’s Day is 8 March, a time to honor the achievements of women around the world and raise awareness of the work that’s still needed to achieve equity.
So Sorry if You Missed it!
Our Wednesday zoom meeting was well attended and well represented by members from LA SAN! We learned so much about the newest environmental program aimed at keeping organic waste out of landfills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
