Rancho Santa Marta in Baja California, Mexico was the beneficiary of a joint project between the Santee-Lakeside Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Ensenada.  A new Rotary Computer Center, financed with a $35,000 global grant was officially dedicated on April 20.  Rancho Santa Marta is a non-denominational Evangelical Christian Ministry providing a school and home for at risk and special need Mexican children, youth and adults with disabilities that provides a safe and loving environment allowing them to develop physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and educationally.    The school and home lies on a large 450-acre working ranch property near San Vicente, a town 130 miles south of San Diego on the Baja California peninsula.  The Santee-Lakeside Rotary Club has a long-standing supportive relationship with Rancho Santa Marta.  This is the first joint effort with the Rotary Club of Ensenada, which has sparked an endearing partnership between the two clubs.

Over 70 members and guests of La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club, including Rotaract students from UCSD, recently completed a project assisting the US Marines at Camp Pendleton.  Over two Saturdays, the group was joined by marines to renovate their "Desk Sergeant's Building" (the Base Police Department).  They rebuilt counters and glass barriers, installed new interior doors, restroom wall surfaces, new laminate flooring and provided new LED lighting.  About 15 thousand square feet of walls and doors were painted by the volunteers and marines. 

 

This was the seventh successful project that the club has accomplished in the Camp since 2008, demonstrating the respect that the members have for their Marine heroes.
