The Renotarian Mexico House Build - International Project Nov 11, 2016 - Nov 13, 2016 Tijuana, Mexico Come join Club members, their families, children and guests to help build a “House in a day” for a needy family in Mexico. We will travel to San Diego by personal vehicles on Friday November 11, 2016. On Saturday morning November 12, 2016 we will travel by bus to Tijuana, Mexico where we will build a “House in a day”. We then, in a ceremony, hand the keys to the home to the family for whom we have built this house. We will be returning to San Diego that evening. We will then travel back to Reno on Sunday.

This is a hands on and very rewarding experience for all who participate. All participants must have a valid Passport to enter Mexico. Also participants should bring their own tools. Hammers, paint brushes and rollers, etc.

HOW TO INTRODUCE YOUR GUESTS AND NEW MEMBERS AT A CLUB MEETING When introducing a guest or new members during a Club meeting, the correct way is to greet the Club President, fellow Rotarians and guests, introduce yourself and state your classification, and then introduce your guest, their title and business affiliation. Please do not introduce any guest as a prospective new member or that they are looking for a position or clients.

ATTENDANCE Please make sure you turn in make-ups to Carl Fuetsch at a club meeting or by email: info@renorotaryclub.org. Don’t forget that you need to attend or make up at least 50% of club regular meetings in each half of the year (rolling six months) and attend at least 30% of this club’s meetings in each half of the year. Credit can be received for Rotary committee work and other official Rotary functions.
