3. Dick Martinez gave a power point presentation on the Rotary Amigos work project held at an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico, the weekend of January 25, 2015. Club members who participated were Dick Martinez, Tom Crosby, Mike Real, Andy Bundesmann, Rosie Mares and her mother, and former member Al Leghab and his wife. Members of the Tijuana Rotary Club, together with members of the Rotaract Club sponsored by them at a local college, also participated. Arcadia Rotary presented the orphanage with a check for $350.00 to purchase clothes and other necessities for the orphanage. Dick hopes that more members of Arcadia Rotary will participate next year, and Rosie recommended that more wives, mothers and other females participate to interact and act as role models for the kids. Congratulations to Dick for keeping Rotary Amigos alive for the past 38 years.
