Malibu / Beverly Hills

English Version Below...


J'ai ete invite dans 2 clubs differents recemment: Malibu et Beverly Hills. Ca s'est tres bien passe.
J'avais rencontre Bill N. Wishard, un membre du Club de Malibu au Breakfast du District. Il m'avait gentiment demande si je pouvais faire une presentation un jour, j'ai bien sur accepte. Le club se reunit tous les mercredis matin pour le petit dejeuner au Campus de l'Universite de Malibu. Voici le site web du club: http://groups.msn.com/maliburotary
A la fin de la presentation, Chris Bauman le president m'a offert le fanion du Club de Malibu.
Le campus est vraiment incroyablement beau mais assez loin de chez moi! J'ai donc dormi chez Benedikt Brydern, mon conseiller parrain qui habite Santa Monica afin de me rapprocher un peu de Malibu. J'ai pu sauver une bonne heure de sommeil...

Lundi 6 Mars, j'ai ete invite par Jerrie Heslov, la presidente du Club de Beverly Hills. Le club se reunit au superbe Hotel de Beverly Hills. Voici le site web du club: http://bhrotary.org
Jerrie est une personne vraiment charmante et gentille qui a une place de presidente pas facile a tenir puisque le club compte beaucoup de membres. Il est assez dur de se faire entendre parfois, car la bonne humeur regne mais Jerrie s'en sort tres bien et se fait respecter. Mais apparemment, c'est dans les genes de la famille d'exceller puisque son fils Grant Heslov a ete nomine pour les Academy Awards pour son film "Good night and good luck"!! C'est un tres bon film, allez le voir si vous pouvez!
Jerrie m'a donne le fanion du club a la fin de mon discours.


I was invited in 2 different clubs recently: Malibu and Beverly Hills. It was very sympathic.
I had met Bill N. Wishard from Malibu's club at the last District Breakfast. He asked me if I could do a presentation at this occasion and of course, I said yes. The Malibu's campus is incredibly beautiful but far away from my house. So, I slept at Benedikt Brydern's house at Santa Monica in order to save 1 hour of rest... The meeting of the club is every wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. Here is the website of the club: http://groups.msn.com/maliburotary
At the end of my speech, Chris Bauman who is the president of the club gave me the Rotary Club of Malibu's flag.


On Monday March 6th, I was invited by Jerrie Heslov who is the president of the Beverly Hills Rotary Club. The meeting is at lunch time at the wonderful Beverly Hills hotel. Here is the website of the club: http://bhrotary.org
Jerrie is a person very charming and very kind. She has the big responsability to be the president of a big club with a lot of members. It is sometimes difficult to speak in front of the audience because the atmosphere is very friendly and therefore a little noisy sometimes! But Jerrie is very good and everybody respects her when she needs the attention of the audience! Obviously, it's in the family genes to excel because her son Grant Heslov was nominated for the second time in his carrier for several Academy Awards for his movie "Good night and good luck". (it is a very good film! I watched it few weeks ago!)
Jerrie gave me the Beverly Hills' s flag after my speech.
