My Chinese cooking classes are divided into two groups, beginning and advanced. That’s people with beginning tastes and those who will try anything. Everyone wants to know how to cook Peking duck or make 1000-year old eggs. Livermore, California

The Rotary Club has 752,000 members in 150 countries. It was started in 1905 by a group of businessmen for their mutual benefit. The name derives from the original plan to "rotate" the location of each meeting. Today Rotary is a club devoted to four types of service: Club, Community, Vocational and International. We are still growing and add at least one new club to our worldwide membership every day. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California
