Anahita, a 3rd generation Rotarian originally from New Delhi, India, and a member of the Rotary Club of Newport Beach, CA, was inspired to develop 'Agents of Influence’ - a spy themed media literacy game aligned with the 4-Way test that equips middle school students with the necessary skills to critically evaluate information and make responsible, informed decisions.
President Beth opened the meeting at The Rainier Club on a smoky, foggy fall day. Raymond Tymas-Jones and Ryan Bunbury led us in “Let There Be Peace on Earth.” Bill Center inspired us by reminding us that even though life is not fair, an essential ingredient in productivity and success is something distributed fairly and equally to all: time.
