Santa Clarita Rotary Club Inducts New Member

The Santa Clarita Rotary Club inducted Alyssa Janney into the club at today's meeting. Alyssa works at Remo Drums and first came to our club when we had a Drum Circle, led by Christine Stevens, back in July. Alyssa's first introduction to Rotary was back in high school, when her singing group sand a rendition of Bye, Bye Blackbird for the club members in her hometown in West Virginia. We are pleased to have Alyssa Janney in our Santa Clarita Rotary Club and look forward to involving her with projects as quickly as possible.

Santa Clarita Rotary Club Drums to the Beat

The Santa Clarita Rotary Club will be adding a new member in the next couple of weeks. We are pleased that Alyssa Janney, of Remo Drums, will be our newest member later this month. Alyssa was over at College of the Canyons this afternoon, leading a drum circle that is open to the community. These drum circles will be on the first and third Saturday each month and all equipment is provided. We had so much fun drumming at our Rotary Club during July that the Rotarians are likely to take up drumming on a more serious basis.
