Veteran's Day Military Review 2020 Yesterday, before a sellout crowd at the #ArmyNavyAcademy, #CarlsbadRotaryclub president #AvaPayne helped salute our veterans in a military review, including speeches and a special flyover. It’s an hour-long presentation, though for our money the BEST part runs from 11:04-17:33. Okay, we’re biased, but after you watch it we’re pretty sure you’ll agree. https://bit.ly/Rotary-themovie... Not in the mood for a movie? Forgot to bring your popcorn? Here’s the whole story for a little light reading on your notebook, laptop, or at your desk. https://bit.ly/RI_VD Whichever way you enjoy the story, #VeteransDay2020 was a special reminder of the importance of defending and protecting the country and setting aside our petty arguments to support those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and enabling us all to have a better life. -- Almost every Thursday at 6:30 p.m., the #RotaryClubofCarlsbad gathers together dedicated community leaders to find ways to improve the world & lives, from our own backyard to across the globe.

Provide Food & Shelter for Those in Need #SolutionsforChange. #ShowersofBlessings. #HomelessVeteransofSanDiego. All key to helping the hungry & homeless get back on their feet. We’re proud to help thembecause food insecurity is VERY realeven in a community like #Carlsbad. That’s why Rotarians also volunteer at #BrotherBenno’s soup kitchen; cook for homeless workers at #LaPosadadeGuadalupe; make/serve food to homeless families for #FillABelly; & donate to area food banks.
