CLUB ASSEMBLY

In-person dinner then Board meeting at Joe Chehade's home in Westchester

Jonathan Harris will join us to give a policy briefing on the current situation in
Ukraine and the Russian invasion, the international response, and Putin’s
agenda, with up-to-date maps and commentary on where things are headed.

Jonathan Harris worked twelve years in Washington, DC as a policy analyst
and international affairs expert, with focus on U.S. foreign policy,
environmental policy, and human rights. He has worked as writer and editor
for policy think tanks, as a registered lobbyist on Capitol Hill, and as a reporter
for Time Magazine in New York and Jerusalem.
Coming to Los Angeles in 2017, Jonathan served as a senior policy advisor for
the Israeli American Council and later as Programs and Development Manager
at the Los Angeles Business Council, with a new professional focus on
sustainability and environmental impact analysis. Since 2021, Jonathan has

$1.2B international electronics company specializing in high performance
computer systems and streaming peripherals, with plants in the U.S., Europe,
and Asia.
Jonathan lives in Aliso Viejo with his wife Elsa, a professor of mathematics at
Otis College of Art and Design.
 

As traveling can create stress and anxieties at airports, the LAX Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUP) program is an opportunity to provide an overall enhanced customer experience, providing stress relief and comfort to passengers through interaction with pets.  Therapy dogs and handlers roam the departures levels in the gate areas of each terminal, visiting passengers awaiting flights and providing comfort, as well as airport information. The program educates and informs passengers about the LAX projects and construction-related traffic impacts.

We will have a short family friendly program then go for a Nature walk at the Wetlands behind Whiskey Reds.

Invite your family and friends!

Olivia's Bio

Born in Chicago, the oldest of six children, I learned leadership, management, organization, accountability, and responsibility while growing up in Los Angeles, California. Attended Pepperdine University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in math and psychology and a Masters degree in Administration and Management of Schools.

I’ve taught high school algebra and geometry before serving as a school administrator with LAUSD, a manager in the auto industry and as the Executive Director of a nonprofit agency in the real estate industry. I worked in the real estate industry for 20 years, now specializing in the commercial sector. I’ve always strived for leadership roles as my way to be of service. As president of the Rotary Club of Inglewood, I developed interest in the business of Rotary and grew active on the district level. Attending our District’s Humanitarian Trips, I saw first-hand my Foundation donations at work across the borders. It is my belief that if we are sincere about the work we do as Rotarians through Rotary, the Rotary Foundation should be the first charity on our list for giving.

The greatest gift given to me, by Rotary, is my beloved husband. What a joy to have a life partner who shares my Rotary values and experiences. We work and play with the most unlikely folks from communities all over the world, developing friendships and partnerships, while helping those in need.

Olivia served on the board of directors of Music Mends Minds and as an ambassador for the Rose Bowl parade

Volunteers needed to set up walk, help with registration and tear down.

Along with Kurtis' craft talk, come to share this very fun breakfast meeting in your favorite Halloween Costume and join this hilarious time together.

PS: Halloween Costumes are, of course, optional!

Friday October 28 is the Halloween Costume Progressive Dinner.

This was such a big hit last year, we wanted to have this as an annual event. Everyone starts at The Frawley home for appetizers and libations ….(very food stuff with a lovely view of the Marina), a short walk to the Davis home for the main dish…and more libations. The final stop is the Plotkin/Barretti home for dessert.. It is a great way for adults to celebrate Halloween.
