To our readers:

 

Please take time to visit the rosemeadkiwanis.org website.  There are some new additions linked from the left hand column you may find interesting.

 

·                      RKC REPORTER NEWSLETTER INDEX – Our RKC Reporter Index is now up to date, including 2010 Newsletters through June of this year plus back issues to 2007. The index summarizes important items in each issue and you may find it interesting to review the diverse speaker subjects.

 

·                      RKC KIWANICLE INDEX – For the first time we have placed on public display rthe official publication of the Rosemead K-Family (Rosemead Kiwanis, RHS KEY Club, Don Bosco KEY Club, Muscatel Builders Club and San Gabriel Valley Aktion Club). Many issues have pictures and some have entire montages of major activities.

 

·                      FAX OF LIFE INSPIRATION INDEX – This listing is also now up to date from 2006 thru June of this year.  Included for the first time are the missing issues occasioned by the illness of our Webmaster for November and December of last year and January 2010.  We would appreciate feedback from our readers as to whether we should as a possible future project work to gradually add back issues for the ten years prior to 2006.

 

As a closing note I would like on behalf of our volunteer staff to publicly thank those who have from time to time expressed their appreciation for our efforts.

 

Sincerely

Law enforcement cannot dictate where an offender lives, as long as the offender registers his/her residence with the appropriate address and in compliance with state law. The work of a parole agent is to prevent sex offenders from future sexual victimization.

 

At this meeting, Parole Agent Villar from the California Department of Correctional and Rehabilitation will explain the process of how sex registrants activities are monitored once they are living in your community.
