THRIVING IN GILROY:
A Report from our District Director, Phil Griego
As part of my district director duties I must visit the clubs in my division to see how things are going and to offer whatever assistance I can carrying forward the mission of Exchange. My visit to Gilroy was most gratifying. They had 12 members attending and I was honored to induct my first new member for that club. They are a vibrant active club making their mark on the community in many ways. Their One nation Under God Program has brought together a diverse group of community leaders to create a sidewalk display of 100 American Flags in their downtown for every major national holiday, such as Armed Forces Day, July 4, Presidents Day. Boy Scout troops volunteered to raise and lower the flags each holiday in perpetuity. They are also planning a Fall Auction with Dancing to a big band sound November 7. many of them plan to attend our District Lunch December 2 and make a day of it helping San Jose decorate the hall for "Christmas for the Kids."
Among their many other activities Al Pithier, charter member, is running for Mayor of Gilroy. Another member is running for city counsel. This is an active club. Keep up the good work and keep getting new members.
It is the responsibility of the One-A-Month Sponsors to bring in a new member this month.
