BUTTERFLY HOUSE DEDICATION

Commissioning of the Butterfly House, a centennial project by the

Rotary Clubs of Newport-Balboa and Okazaki South (Japan) will be held

at the Environmental Nature Center on April 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.,

according to Newport-Balboa President Kim DeBroux.

Representatives from both clubs will be in attendance to be

honored with special plaques for providing the funds to build a

structure to house the center’s butterfly collection.

WORTH REPEATING

From the Thought for Today, provided by Greg Kelley of the Newport

Mesa Irvine Interfaith Council: “Look at the weaknesses of others

with compassion, not accusation. It’s not what they’re not doing or

should be doing that’s the issue. The issue is your own chosen

response to the situation and what you should be doing. If you start

to think the problem is ‘out there,’ stop yourself. That thought is

the problem.”
