Project Mercy is a 501-C (3) non-profit agency based in San Diego, California. The goal of Project Mercy is the improvement of basic living standards and quality of life for impoverished families who live in conditions precarious to their health in the shantytowns of the colonias east of Tijuana, Mexico.
We build basic but sturdy houses for the poorest families in the outlying neighborhoods, or “colonias” of Tijuana, Mexico. When sufficient funds are available, we provide materials and plans for sanitary latrines. Although we are not currently working on latrines, we hope to do so in the near future.

Since 1960, more than 70 test, demonstration and power reactors have been retired throughout the United States. SCE formally notified the NRC on June 12, 2013 that operations at San Onofre have permanently ceased. On July 23, 2013, SCE notified the NRC it had transferred fuel from the Unit 2 reactor to the spent fuel pool. The company had previously defueled Unit 3. Once fuel was removed from both reactors, San Onfore transitioned from an operating to a “possession” license.
Within two years of shutdown, SCE must submit to the NRC and state officials a detailed plan that spells out specific decommissioning activities and schedules, cost estimates and potential environmental impacts.

There are many traits that are part of being a good Rotarian; one of them is ethics. As Rotarians we have the 4-way test which gives us a pathway to evaluate situations and support good ethical behavior.
As a fun way to highlight the ethics of our members we will be having an ethics slam during our program on November 24. Attendees will be working in teams to dissect some ethically challenging questions. At the end of the program each group will report on their decisions and how they reached them. This program was inspired by Jennifer Conlin’s August 2013 article in Rotarian Magazine.
