Join UCSD Rotaract at UC San Diego for their 11th Annual WAPI project for their annual service project to create Water Pasteurization Indicators to help communities in need. Pizza lunch provided. There is a short presentation about WAPI's at 10am that is interesting to watch. There is an exact map of the bldg in the link where you RSVP in the QR code. January 25th (Sunday), 2026 Location: UCSD, Great Hall in ERC's I-House. Located directly across Scholar's Lane from Pangea Parking Structure. Visitor Parking:
Pangea Parking Structure is $4.50/hr (maximum of $9)
FREE OPTION: There is normally parking at Gliderport or the road loeading down to it. Would be about a 10-15 minute walk from Gliderport to Great Hall.
What is a WAPI? WAPIs (Water Pasteurization Indicators) are reusable devices specifically designed to melt a wax coating inside the device when water has reached pasteurization temperature and is safe to drink. In some areas of the world, people collect water from natural sources, which are often ridden with disease-causing bacteria. To prevent getting sick, the water is typically boiled prior to drinking/using. However, water does not need to be boiled in order to be safe to drink, because pasteurization (the act of using heat to kill off the dangerous bacteria) occurs at 150° F, a much lower temperature than water's boiling point (212° F). Therefore, a lot of time and resources, such as fuel and wood, are wasted when water is brought to the boiling point, rather than the pasteurization point. This is where the WAPI comes in. A WAPI contains a special wax that melts at 150° and indicates when the water is safe to drink. Thus, WAPIs help communities lacking easy access to clean, drinkable water save time, money, and energy, by indicating when their water is safe to drink, before it boils! Contact us at secretary@rotaractucsd.org, if you have any question/concerns/comments. |

Following the in-court observation and presentation, Rotarian Kathleen Walford will take us on a guided historical walking tour of the Federal Judicial Center which encompasses three buildings on the downtown campus. Because we will be observing an actual criminal calendar, we will need to gather down-town at the corner of Front St and Broadway by 8:30 a.m. to get through the screening process. Because most people don’t like to drive downtown ,and parking is always a challenge, we will travel by trolley from the El Cajon Station located at 325 South Marshal St, on the ORANGE LINE leaving at 7:33 a.m |

Looking for Schools where we can celebrate Dr. Seuss by reading in the classroom. Locations TBD. Dates: TBD Interactive read-alouds encourage children’s engagement with stories, fostering listening comprehension, vocabulary development, and conversational skills. Teachers can use repetitive texts, discussions before and after reading, and books without text to stimulate predictions and connections, making story time a rich opportunity for language practice.
Encouraging Engagement Through Interactive Read-Alouds: Teachers can enhance oral language development by involving children in discussions before, during, and after reading stories, allowing them to share thoughts and make connections. Expanding Vocabulary with Contextual Learning: Reading aloud introduces new vocabulary, such as “tusks,” while encouraging children to guess meanings based on context and visuals. Supporting Predictive and Analytical Skills: Books without text, like “Rosie’s Walk,” encourage children to predict story outcomes using pictures, fostering critical thinking and conversation. |
