Plant with Purpose, program at Point Loma Rotary Club on Sep. 28th

Our program speaker was Philippe Lazaro, a representative with Plant With Purpose, a Christian nonprofit organization that works in developing countries around the world with the goal of improving the quality of the lives of people living in extreme rural poverty. Philippe shared his journey through many different countries, including Thailand and Burundi, and his personal growth that allowed him to arrive at this point in his life. We should all have accomplished so much growth in so few years. We thank Philippe for his time and wonderful insight.

Veterans Village Fishing Trip

On Aug. 26th, Rotary Club of Point Loma and Veterans Village of San Diego hosted the First Annual Veteran's Fishing Day. The event included a free day of fishing for about 50 veterans on one of San Diego's premier fishing boat, the Daily Double. The boat departed from the Point Loma Sportfishing pier at 9:00 AM and returned around 6:00 PM. Most anglers were successful there were smiles from all the participants upon returning to the pier. Special thanks to Alan Brown and Carter Shuffler for all their hard work in putting together this event. Click on the title above to see additional pictures.
