In the heart of Hermosa Beach, Rotarians built a Youth clubhouse, maintained for community benefit. Great space for RENT - decorates beautifully for celebrations, meetings and more. Chairs & tables provided free of charge.
Rotary members and program participants are improving lives in communities around the world every day through thousands of service projects. Explore the good work that we’re doing locally and globally, and share these projects through social media.
We refuse to accept conflict as a way of life. Rotary projects provide training that fosters understanding and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts. As a humanitarian organization, peace is a cornerstone of our mission.
We believe when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have a global effect.
Every day since the brutal Russian invasion of the Ukraine, John Hewko has connected with those under attack.
Hewko, the General Secretary and CEO of Evanston-based Rotary International, takes out his cell phone and calls people he knows in Kyiv and in other parts of that nation, friends and family.
Hewko understands Ukraine and the current plight of Ukrainians far better than do most Americans.
His parents escaped from Ukraine during World War II. Hewko later went to there to work and, as a young lawyer in 1991, helped write the first draft of Ukraine’s post-Soviet constitution.
Education shapes the future of an individual. It may seem accessible to most of us but it is often unattainable for many. Rotary International established Education as one of its primary areas of focus throughtout the world. Hermosa Beach Rotary has supported several initiatives both locally and internationally.
The Weiss Scholarship Foundation (based out of the Chicago area)- is a charitable organization striving to support Kenya’s children through mentorship and learning opportunities for high school education. Come learn more tomorrow, November 30 at 12:15 p. All are welcome.
Heartbroken to lose Mike Welch, we commemorate his fascinating life and commitment to Service.
Mike joined Hermosa Beach Rotary in 2012 after attending a meeting to honor his son Andrew, who was named Student of the Month. He was so very proud of his family and his community. Mike had many talents and served in a variety of capacities to manage the building rentals in addition to holding the position of both secretary and treasurer for several years.
Mike was an active board member for many years with the Vietnam Veterans Association Chapter 53 and in addition was the collaborator for our club with other local Vietnam Veterans who created and maintained the Memorial at the Hermosa Beach Community Center.
A frequent speaker, Mike shared stories about his worldwide travels, including family treks to Australia, moreover his remarkable career with the U.S. Air Force CMSgt (ret) Mike M. Welch, and Boeing, as a “pathfinder loadmaster”. C-17s have played a vital role of delivering military personnel and equipment and often critical support to deliver humanitarian aid, especially in dire situations like the 2012 Haiti earthquake.
