Governor Chris Skorina Visits
Governor Chris shared his vision for this Rotary year with our club, generously lending resources and support for our club projects. Heidi also updated the status of the Rotary gala as the assistant to the governor.
Rotary exchange student Sofus from Greenland and Ricardo as the founding member of the Interact Club at Jordan High also joined us.
Rotary Youth Exchange
The Rotary Youth Exchange is one of the best opportunities for students to get involved and inspired by the global network of Rotarians.
The son of one of our club members, Reed, is spending a year in Denmark as a part of the youth exchange program. In turn, Frank’s family is hosting Sofus, a student from Greenland, during his one-year stay in the United States.
Sofus from Greenland
Sofus is a Rotary international exchange student from Greenland who is being hosted for a year by our very own Frank Dunnick and his family. We met at our monthly club social at Ten Mile Brewing Company and we gained insight about the culture and language of Greenland and a new perspective on American culture.
School Supplies with Al Austin
Organized by Council Member Al Austin in Long Beach, Signal Hill Rotary participated in the school supplies giveaway at the Veteran Memorial Stadium.
It was a great event celebrated with fellowship, community outreach, and good music. Interact member Ricardo from Jordan High also volunteered with Rotarians.
Signal Hill Police National Night Out
The Signal Hill Police Foundation reached out to the community at the annual National Night Out, where the foundation celebrated the service provided by the police department with music, raffle prizes, and games.
Kedra, Frank, Kiran, Rey, Jose, and Les hosted the Rotary booth with games and prizes to bring awareness of the good things Rotary Club is doing throughout the community and internationally.
Les Visits Petaluma Valley Rotary
While on a road trip to Northern California, Les visited the Rotary Club of Petaluma Valley, which meets every Wednesday at noon at Cafe Bellini.
Jerrie was the speaker, who not only welcomed Les to the meeting, but led club members on a meditative exercise in art.
Jose’s First Meeting as President
We started our new Rotary year with a bang with Jose at the helm. It was literally a bang that started the meeting as Jose rang the club’s historic Rotary bell that he is polishing.
The format of the meeting was refreshing as Jose dove into to the club archive and displayed Rotary club banners from around the world that we collected over many decades.
It's wonderful to have new leadership in the club. Congratulations to Jose!
Signal Hill Rotary Transition Party
The changing of the guard occurred at Jimmy E’s last night, when Les transferred the stewardship of the club to very capable hands. Jose will lead the club to new heights with great ideas from all of our members.
Rey and his family joined us for the evening celebration even though he just got back from a trip to Japan the day before.
District 5320 Transition Dinner
We celebrated the accomplishments of clubs in the district and the impact we did collectively on our community. We thanked Roy Jefferson for his leadership, the Interact clubs across the district, and welcomed Chris to be our next district governor.
The Signal Hill Rotary Club also sponsored a new Interact club at the Jordan High School in Long Beach.
It was a night of fellowship, good stories, and fine beverages.

Two of our members are traveling internationally now. Rey is in Japan with his family, and Kiran is visiting relatives in India.
Kiran was the honored guest at the Rotary Club of Ghatkopar East this month, representing our club internationally. We exchanged club banner with their club.
