The Avalon Rotary club along with the two San Diego Rotary Clubs and one in Montebello, CA partnered with the Club Rotary Centenairo of Ensenada. In early January, two Avalon Rotary Club members, Lourdes Thoricht and Rita Whitaker traveled to Ensenada to distribute 925 food baskets and blankets throughout the poverty stricken areas of Ensenada.
