The World Will Thank You
When asked what the main objective of Rotary International is, most
Rotarians would tell you: International Humanitarian missions around the world. The International Committee of LA5 is your opportunity to become involved and be a pro-active member of the committee that sets those missions in motion. This Committee invites the enthusiastic and dedicated participation of all Rotarians of LA5 to become involved, to join and to add active support to help find new projects for our club. The World will Thank You.

Mission of Committee:
All International Service Projects will be beneficial, visionary, inclusive,
cost effective, and follow the Rotary Four-way Test.

Specific Goals This Year:
LA5 International Humanitarian Projects.
To instigate and develop two leadership projects for LA5, and to find
district support for those projects. To explore the potential of partnering
with other district 5280 clubs in the financing of possibly three to four
other projects.

International Dinners
The International Committee plans to team with four country consulates to host members of LA5 at International dinners. Our International Dinner Committee meets Consul Generals representing many countries. It is our goal to bring people of the world together for an evening of understanding and opportunity.

Friendship Exchange Program
Open World Exchange - Adult Friendship Exchange - Help with students
visiting our city.

We have three or four meetings per year and they are usually held after the Rotary luncheon on Fridays. The opportunities for involvement outside the meetings are limitless, depending on the amount of commitment you are willing to invest: Twenty hours a year or more if you wish! We are active year round.

The LA5 International Committee is extremely rewarding in that our mission is to help people less fortunate around the planet. This is a hands-on experience and you get to meet people from all walks of life.
International travel is possible.

In 2006, our Humanitarian Committee's International excursion was to Baja, Mexico. In 2005, our committee traveled to projects in El Salvador.
