Raffle Tickets for Comic-Con 2013 Passes!
One of our more unique fundraisers was the sale of raffle tickets by our Torrey Pines (La Jolla) Rotary Foundation, with the winning ticket receiving two passes to the Comic-Con 2013 convention Preview Night and two passes to the 4-day convention. For those not familiar with Comic-Con it is a convention in San Diego that draws 130,000+ attendees each year, and typically sells out within 45 minutes. We were most grateful for the opportunity to obtain two tickets for our fundraising efforts. Entrants from around the world participated in our raffle, and the winner was a young man from Florida.
Thank you to those who supported this Torrey Pines (La Jolla) Rotary Foundation fundraiser. Funds raised were used to continue and expand our many local and international service projects, including funding arts and education needs. A partial list of current projects is below.

Bike Ride Across America
September 12, 2012 - October 22, 2012
Wheel You Help?
I am off (what an understatement) with Ed Ott for our fourth and last bike ride across America. To complete the four sides of our beautiful country, we will ride about 1900 miles from Calais, Maine on the Canadian border to Miami, Florida on the Cuban border. What extremes!
As in 2010, my Rotary Club of 43 years, Torrey Pines, will lend their support and good cheer. My goal is to raise $19,000 ($10.00/mile) for our Rotary Club Foundation that supports local and international worthwhile causes. All donations will go to the Rotary Club Foundation. Ed and I pay all of our own expenses. Below is a partial list of the beneficiaries from the 2010 ride. If you can help, please pledge a flat amount or an amount per mile (1 cent is $19.00).
